What is soft washing?

Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses specially formulated solutions to break down dirt, algae, and organic growth before gently rinsing it away. It’s ideal for:

• Render and painted walls
• Roof tiles
• Cladding and uPVC
• Driveways and patios (where delicate cleaning is needed, such as limestone paving)

Soft washing vs pressure washing – what’s the difference?

The key difference between soft washing vs pressure washing is how the cleaning is done:

• Soft washing: Uses low pressure + cleaning solutions (safer for delicate surfaces)
• Pressure washing: Uses high-pressure water (better for hard surfaces like concrete)

Soft washing is generally the better choice for roofs, render, and painted surfaces, where high pressure could cause damage.

Why hire a professional soft washing service?

While DIY is possible, professional soft washing offers clear benefits:

• Safe chemical handling and correct dilution
• Proper equipment for even application
• Longer-lasting results
• Reduced risk of damage to your home
