What is soft washing?
Low-pressure cleaning for delicate surfaces
Soft washing uses a low-pressure application of specialist cleaning solutions to remove organic growth, algae and staining from exterior surfaces. Rather than relying on force, it treats the cause of the soiling, making it well suited to delicate or painted surfaces where pressure washing could cause damage.
Suitable surfaces
Where soft washing is the right choice
Soft washing suits a range of exterior surfaces where high pressure may not be appropriate.
Render & painted walls
K.Render, painted render and similar finishes where high pressure could mark or strip the surface.
Exterior walls & masonry
Brick, stone and masonry affected by algae, moss and atmospheric staining.
Cladding
uPVC, composite and metal cladding cleaned with a method suited to the material.
Fascias & soffits
Roofline features where a gentler approach protects seals and finishes.
Conservatories & glazed areas
Frames and seals cleaned without forcing water where it shouldn't go.
Other delicate surfaces
Any exterior surface assessed as unsuitable for high-pressure cleaning.
Choosing the right method
Soft washing vs pressure washing
The right method depends on the surface. Here's how the two approaches compare.
Soft washing
- Low-pressure application of cleaning solutions
- Treats algae, moss and organic growth at the source
- Suited to render, cladding and painted surfaces
- Less likely to force water behind seals or into voids
Pressure washing
- Uses water force to lift dirt and grime
- Effective on robust hard surfaces like paving
- Can mark or damage delicate surfaces if misapplied
- Best suited to concrete, stone and block paving
