Softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with special cleaning solutions to gently remove dirt, algae, and other grime. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water, which can be too harsh and cause damage to surfaces like roof tiles, paint, and bricks. Softwashing is safer for delicate surfaces and provides longer-lasting results as it kills the algae.
Yes, softwashing not only removes existing algae and mold but also treats the surfaces to help prevent them from returning. The cleaning solutions we use kill the spores that cause algae and mold, providing a longer-lasting clean.
Softwashing can be used on various areas of your home, including roofs, walls, brick, render, decks, patios, and fences. It is a versatile cleaning method suitable for most exterior surfaces.
Our team will take care of most of the preparation, such as protecting plants and outdoor furniture. However, it's helpful if you move any delicate items or decorations away from the areas to be cleaned.
K-Rend, Monocouche & Weber Render: Gently lifts red, green, and black algae staining without scarring or loosening the aggregate.
Slate & Tile Roofs: Safely sanitizes roof tiles, killing moss spores and black lichen without dislodging slates or forcing water into your attic.
Pebble Dash & Painted Masonry: Deep cleans rough-textured walls without stripping paint or knocking away loose stones.
Timber & Composite Decking: Removes slippery green film and mold without splintering timber fibers or eroding composite boards.
uPVC Fascias, Soffits & Conservatories: Restores discoloured white uPVC cladding, gutting exteriors, and conservatory roofs back to pristine condition.
Commercial Storefronts & Apartment Complexes: Large-scale exterior wall sanitization for commercial properties across Kildare with minimal disruption to your business.
Inspection & Garden Protection: Daniel assesses your wall or roof material, identifies the specific organic staining (red algae, green algae, or black lichen), and pre-drenches nearby plants, flowerbeds, and lawns with fresh water to shield them.
Low-Pressure Biocide Application: Using our specialized onboard softwash pumps, we apply a custom-mixed biocide treatment across the surface at gentle, low pressure.
Dwell Time & Deep Sanitization: The cleaning solution penetrates deep into the surface pores, breaking down grime, killing micro-spores, and restoring the material's natural tone.
Final Rinse & Site Washdown: We thoroughly rinse the surface using clean water, wash down all adjacent exterior windows and doors, and leave your garden and surrounding paths spotless.
