Professional Cladding Cleaning
Restore the Appearance of Your Building with Mr Softwash
Cladding is designed to protect your building from the elements while giving it a clean, modern appearance. Over time, however, exposure to rain, pollution, algae, mould, moss and airborne contaminants can leave it looking dirty, stained and neglected.
At Mr Softwash, we provide professional cladding cleaning services for residential, commercial and industrial properties throughout Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and the surrounding areas. Using specialist soft washing techniques, we safely remove biological growth and surface contamination without causing unnecessary damage to the cladding.
Whether your building has metal, uPVC, composite, fibre cement or timber cladding, we tailor our cleaning process to suit the material and achieve the best possible results.
Why Does Cladding Need Cleaning?
Even high-quality cladding will accumulate dirt and organic growth over time. Damp conditions encourage algae, mould and lichen to thrive, while traffic pollution and airborne debris gradually dull the surface.
Common issues include:
- Green algae staining
- Black mould and mildew
- Red algae
- Moss and lichen
- Traffic film and pollution deposits
- General weathering and dirt build-up
Regular professional cleaning helps maintain the appearance of your property while reducing the risk of permanent staining.
Safe Soft Washing for All Types of Cladding
Not every cladding system should be cleaned using high-pressure water. Excessive pressure can damage protective coatings, force water behind panels and reduce the lifespan of the installation.
Our soft washing process uses carefully controlled low-pressure application combined with professional cleaning products that target the source of biological growth rather than simply washing away surface dirt.
The benefits include:
- Safe cleaning for delicate cladding systems
- Removal of algae, mould, moss and lichen
- Longer-lasting results than pressure washing alone
- Reduced risk of damage to protective finishes
- Improved appearance and kerb appeal
Where appropriate, we also apply professional biocidal treatments that continue working after the initial clean to help slow the return of organic growth.

Professional Softwash Cladding Cleaning
Benefits of Soft Washing
The modern, technologically advanced, process of soft washing reduces, and even eliminates, the need for jet – or pressure/power – washing in most situations.
Soft washing is the process of using eco-friendly chemicals and low-pressure water to clean Cladding.
Soft washing will not damage your Cladding. It's effectiveness depends upon the cleaning contractor having the skilled knowledge of how to use the correct cleaning product at the correct concentration ratio, using the correct equipment.
Soft washing provides long-term exterior cleaning by using low pressure and specialized chemicals (like biocides) to kill mold, algae, and moss, preventing regrowth for years (often 3-5) and keeping surfaces cleaner longer than pressure washing. It's a safer, deeper clean for delicate surfaces (roofs, render, wood) because the biocides sanitize, sanitizing the source of the organic growth and offering a residual effect against future build-up. Annual or biannual treatments maintain results effectively and cost-effectively.
Softwash Long Term Protection for 3-5 Years
Soft washing biocides provide long-term protection by
killing organic organisms—such as algae, moss, fungi, and lichen—at their root and leaving a residual film that prevents regrowth.
How Biocide Protection Works
- Residual Action: Unlike bleach (sodium hypochlorite), which provides an instant clean but no lasting protection, biocides like DDAC (Didecyldimethylammonium chloride)penetrate porous surfaces. They continue to kill spores that land on the surface for months or even years after application.
- Self-Cleansing Process: Many professional biocides are "spray and leave" products. They work with natural weathering (rain and wind) to break down and wash away dead organic matter over several weeks or months.
Is Soft washing with biocide
the best method for cleaning Cladding?
Yes, bleach can damage cladding if used incorrectly, primarily through discolouration and surface degradation. While sodium hypochlorite (the active ingredient in bleach) is a standard professional tool for "soft washing," bleach is often too strong or if used at improper dilutions for delicate surfaces like Cladding.
How Bleach Can Damage Cladding
- Permanent Discolouration: Using bleach straight from the bottle or in high concentrations can cause patchy, white, or streaked finishes due to a pH imbalance.
- Surface Etching: As a corrosive alkaline solution, concentrated bleach can break down the surface chemistry, stripping away the water-repellent silicone layer that protects modern renders.
- Salt Residue: If not thoroughly rinsed, bleach leaves behind salt deposits (efflorescence). These salts attract moisture, which can actually encourage faster regrowth of algae and moss.
- Warranties: Using unapproved chemicals or high concentrations can void manufacturer warranties for products like Cladding.
Steam cleaning Cladding
Steam cleaning ( Doff/Torc ) Cladding is highly effective for removing heavy carbon staining or paint, but lacks the long term residual protection against algae that biocides provide.
soft washing with a biocide is widely considered the best and safest method for cleaning modern exterior Cladding.
Why hire professionals:
They have the necessary training, equipment, and safety protocols for effective and safe cleaning, especially for high-level or difficult-to-reach areas.
Techniques:
Professionals may use advanced methods such as:
Soft Washing: This method uses superheated, low-pressure water to effectively remove stains and dirt without harming the surface.
- Water-fed poles: These poles allow for safe cleaning of high-level cladding without the need for ladders or scaffolding.
- Specialized cleaners: Professionals use products suitable for different cladding types, including pH-neutral detergents for zinc cladding.

What my customers say
I cannot recommend Steve at Mr Softwash Ltd highly enough. A very professional job done on our patio - paving slabs which hadn’t been cleaned for 4-5 years! They now look amazing and no mess left. My request for a quote was responded to quickly and he turned up at the date and time he said he would. Very happy customer 😊
Steve has soft washed my house and it was an excellent job. He's just come back and jet washed the driveway and resanded it and has done yet another excellent job. I highly recommend his work.

5 star service!
We got in touch with Steve after an accident with a large pot of green fence paint that exploded all over our block paved driveway! Steve was brilliant from start to finish, he cleaned our driveway, path at the front of our property and our Indian sandstone patio in the garden and has done a top job! All 3 areas look brand new, the paint has completely gone and its transformed the outside of our little house. Can’t rate Steve’s service highly enough. Professional, friendly and he’s done a brilliant job. Thank you!
I've just had my block paved Driveway cleaned and resanded by Steve at Mr Softwash Ltd...and I am chuffed to bits with it! It was in a right sorry state after a Massive Water leak restoration by Insurance builders, it had mould,Moss, water stains, builders rubble, tile grout, concrete you name it, it was on there!..and Now after he worked his magic, looks like it was laid yesterday. Pristine and all the colours are back and refreshed.
Steve was prompt, his work was clean and efficient, and he told me at every stage from estimate, to end of job why and how he was going to do job. I am extremely Happy with the Work carried out and would recommend this company to anyone!!
