What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a safe and very effective low pressure cleaning and sanitizing method. It uses purpose built low pressure equipment that will effectively clean, and sanitize exterior surfaces with a variety of water based, bio-degradable, eco-friendly chemicals. Soft washing chemicals can be applied at the correct blends and ratios for quick and lasting effects on most surfaces.
Soft washing will kill the spores and treat unwanted biological growth of fungus, moss, red and green algae, bacteria, lichen, pollen, mould and other forms of growth on the target surface. The chemicals are Eco-friendly and do not “bio accumulate”, meaning they break down rapidly on contact with soil to give it a very low environmental footprint. The work area is rinsed unless a residual biocide is applied and once dry is perfectly safe for children and pets etc.
The advantages of soft washing over pressure washing are
- Less water consumption
- Ecologically friendly
- Gentle yet powerful cost effective deep cleaning
- Longer lasting results
- Is safe for all known building materials
- Kills the spores untouched by pressure washing
- Will not damage the surface or exaggerate the weathering or ageing effect
