Understanding Softwashing Cleaning 

Softwashing is an advanced cleaning method designed to eliminate organic growth and environmental buildup from the exterior surfaces of buildings. Unlike high-pressure power washing, which employs forceful streams of water to remove grime, softwashing relies on a chemical solution to break down and eradicate biofilms that have accumulated on exterior surfaces. Biofilms comprise clusters of microorganisms that can adhere to both living and non-living surfaces, such as algae, lichen, and mold. Softwashing solutions are highly concentrated biocides approved by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The term “softwashing” derives from the gentle and non-destructive nature of the cleaning process, in contrast to the potent and potentially damaging effects of jet or power washing. 

The Power of Highly Concentrated Biocide 

Softwashing harnesses the potency of a highly concentrated biocide to combat organic growth like algae, lichen, and mold on building exteriors. A biocide refers to a chemical or microorganism that either exterminates or manages the growth of living organisms. The softwash solution we employ is HSE-approved and considerably less abrasive than traditional jet or power washing methods.

The Mechanism Behind Softwash Cleaning 

Softwashing represents a low-pressure treatment process that addresses the root cause of organic staining on building surfaces. It utilises water-based and biodegradable chemicals to emulsify dirt, eliminate bug nests and webs, and exterminate mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria. This sanitises the treated surface. In contrast to pressure washing, softwashing consumes only one-third of the water, has a lifespan three to four times longer, and does not erode or harm the surface.

Softwash Cleaning Pricing 

When contemplating softwash cleaning, several additional services may be of interest to you. One critical consideration is the level of moss infestation on your surfaces, graded from level 1 to level 5. Furthermore, we ensure the thorough clearing of all gutters, and as part of the service package, we can also attend to soffit and fascia board cleaning. 

The pricing for softwash cleaning can vary, hence we recommend a home assessment to ascertain the additional services required before confirming a fixed price. 

For any inquiries or to book a consultation, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Your building deserves the best care, and we are here to provide it.
