Professional K Rend & Silicone Render Cleaning in Ferndown
Is your K Rend looking green, stained or weathered? Over time, algae, mould and everyday pollution can affect the appearance of modern render, leaving your property looking older than it should.
At Mr Softwash®, we provide professional K Rend cleaning throughout Ferndown using specialist low-pressure soft washing techniques. Our process safely removes biological growth and surface staining without the damage that high-pressure jet washing can cause.
Whether your property has K Rend, Monocouche, Parex or another coloured render system, we can restore its clean, fresh appearance while helping to slow future regrowth.
Why Does K Rend Become Dirty?
Although K Rend is designed to be durable and low maintenance, it is still exposed to the changing British climate throughout the year.
The most common causes of staining include:
Green algae
Black mould
Lichen
Airborne dirt and pollution
Tree sap and leaf debris
Damp, shaded walls
General weathering
These contaminants can establish themselves within the textured surface of the render, making ordinary cleaning methods less effective.
Safe Soft Washing for Modern Render
Soft washing is the recommended cleaning method for most coloured render systems.
Instead of relying on high water pressure, we apply professional cleaning solutions that target algae, mould and other biological growth before gently rinsing the surface with low pressure.
Our cleaning process includes:
Inspection of the render
Protection of surrounding landscaping
Application of a specialist soft wash treatment
Time for the treatment to work effectively
Gentle low-pressure rinse
Optional biocide application for longer-lasting results
This approach provides a deep clean while protecting the appearance and condition of your render.
Why We Avoid Pressure Washing K Rend
Pressure washing may appear to offer a quick solution, but it can cause unnecessary damage to modern render systems.
Using excessive pressure may:
Damage the textured finish
Force water behind the render
Leave visible cleaning marks
Reduce the lifespan of the surface
Encourage faster regrowth of algae
Our soft washing process avoids these risks while delivering a more thorough and longer-lasting clean.

How Long Does Soft Washing Last?
Because soft washing removes the biological growth responsible for staining, the results generally last much longer than pressure washing alone.
The longevity of the clean depends on factors such as nearby trees, moisture levels and the property's location, but many customers enjoy cleaner walls for several years before maintenance is required.

K Rend Cleaning in Ferndown
covering Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire.
To clean K Rend and all silicone renders, use Soft washing a low-pressure fan setting with mild detergent to remove algae, dirt, and weathering.High-pressure washing can damage the surface, spreading contaminants, so chemicals are preferred to kill organic growth, followed by a gentle rinse. Regular application of a fungicidal wash or biocide can prevent future growth.
Choose Your Cleaning Method
Soft Wash:
This method uses a special blend of cleaning detergents to dissolve and lift dirt and organic growth like algae, mould, and spores without high pressure. It is environmentally friendly and prevents damage to the render.
To clean
K Rend, the two most effective and recommended methods are soft washing(using a biocide/mild detergent) and steam cleaning. High-pressure washing is generally not advised as it can permanently damage the render surface, which is typically only 8-10mm thick.
Recommended Cleaning Methods
Soft Washing
Soft washing is considered the best and safest option for removing algae, mould, and general dirt. This method uses low pressure and a chemical solution (biocide) to kill the organic growth at the root, which provides longer-lasting results than simply washing it away.
- Materials needed:
- Protective gear (gloves and eye protection are essential)
- Specialised algae/render cleaner (e.g.,
- Garden sprayer or a soft brush
- Garden hose or low-pressure washer (on a "fan" setting)
- or
"Algoclear Pro"
- ) or a diluted mild detergent/bleach solution (1 part bleach to 3-4 parts water - use with extreme caution and protect plants).
- Steps:
- Preparation: Remove any loose debris or bulky growth (like ivy or moss) with a soft brush. Protect surrounding plants and surfaces by drenching them with water or covering them with sheeting.
- Apply Solution: Apply the cleaning solution using a brush or low-pressure sprayer to the affected areas, ensuring uniform coverage.
- Dwell Time: Allow the solution to work, ideally overnight, or as specified by the product instructions. The staining may darken as the biocide kills the growth.
- Rinse: Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water from a garden hose or a very low-pressure washer. Work from top to bottom.
- Repeat: For stubborn stains, repeat the application process.
General Maintenance Tips
- Regular Cleaning: K Rend is low maintenance but benefits from occasional light cleaning every few years to maintain its appearance.
- Prevent Regrowth: Applying biocide products like Algoclear prevent further regrowth for at least 2-3 years.
- Hardware: Ensure all external attachments (satellite dish brackets, light fixings, etc.) are made from stainless steel to prevent rust staining on the render.
Warning: Avoid High Pressure
Never use high-pressure washing or needle-point pressure settings, as this can etch or damage the thin render surface, leading to permanent damage. Using specialist soft washing equipment is the best & safest option rarther than using pressure washers with the pressure turned down.
What is Soft Washing?
The Safer Way To Wash Your Home.
Soft Washing was developed in the USA about 20 years ago and was a way of washing property without the risks associated with using high pressure as in pressure washing. Soft washing is a cleaning process that safely removes organic stains, mildew, and algae from render using a low-pressure washing technique and a mixture of biocides or sodium hypochlorite, surfactants, and water. High pressure damages render, roofs and other surfaces, so Low pressure is used to prevent any damage.
Soft washing or low pressure is used on surfaces that are difficult to clean with pressure washing or might be damaged by high pressure. It's gentle on surfaces, making it ideal for delicate materials.
Soft washing is different from power washing, which uses higher water pressure. Power washing can void a warranty, cause granule loss, and compromise the integrity of roof tiles, damage rendering, patios and other surfaces.
What is the distinction between Soft Washing and Pressure Washing?
Although the procedures, equipment, pressure, and chemicals used in soft washing, power washing, and pressure washing appear to be identical, they are not. Power washing and pressure washing require much higher water pressure than soft washing, and power washing is usually done with high pressure. To kill mould, mildew, bacteria, algae, fungus, moss, and other bacteria, the Soft Washing method is paired with a biodegradable sanitizing cleaning solution.
This biowash will continue to prevent further organic growth for about 3-5 years.

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!!
