Soft Washing in Ferndown
Professional Soft Washing Services in Ferndown
Looking for professional soft washing in Ferndown? Mr Softwash provides specialist exterior cleaning services for residential and commercial properties throughout Ferndown and the surrounding Dorset area.
Over time, exterior surfaces are exposed to rain, moisture, dirt and changing weather conditions. This can lead to the build-up of moss, algae, lichen, mould, grime and organic staining, leaving your property looking tired and weathered.
Our soft washing service uses specialist cleaning treatments and controlled low-pressure rinsing to clean suitable exterior surfaces effectively without relying on aggressive pressure.
From roof cleaning and render cleaning to patios, walls and other exterior surfaces, Mr Softwash can help restore a cleaner, fresher appearance to your property.
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a professional exterior cleaning method that combines specialist cleaning solutions with low-pressure water.
Rather than depending on high pressure to blast contamination from a surface, soft washing treats organic growth and staining before gently rinsing the area.
This makes soft washing a useful option for many surfaces where excessive pressure could potentially cause damage.
Soft washing can help tackle common exterior contaminants including:
- Moss
- Algae
- Lichen
- Mould
- Dirt
- Grime
- Organic staining
- Weather discolouration
Roof Soft Washing in Ferndown
Your roof is constantly exposed to moisture and the elements, making it susceptible to moss, algae and lichen growth.
Over time, organic growth can spread across roof tiles and leave them looking dirty and discoloured.
Mr Softwash provides roof soft washing in Ferndown, using suitable cleaning techniques based on the type and condition of the roof.
Our low-pressure approach avoids unnecessarily blasting roof tiles with high-pressure water while professional cleaning treatments help tackle the organic growth responsible for staining.
A professionally cleaned roof can make a significant difference to the overall appearance of your property.
Render Soft Washing in Ferndown
Render can quickly become stained by algae, mould, dirt and general weathering. Green or black staining on exterior walls can make a property look older and less well maintained.
Our render soft washing service in Ferndown provides a controlled way of cleaning suitable rendered surfaces.
Using specialist treatments and low-pressure rinsing, we aim to remove unsightly contamination while taking a gentler approach to the underlying surface.
Why Choose Mr Softwash?
At Mr Softwash, we believe that effective exterior cleaning isn't simply about using the highest pressure possible. Different materials require different cleaning techniques.
Low-Pressure Cleaning
Soft washing uses controlled pressure, helping minimise the risk of damage associated with aggressive pressure washing on unsuitable surfaces.
Specialist Cleaning Treatments
Cleaning solutions are used to help treat organic growth such as moss, algae, lichen and mould.
Professional Results
We use appropriate equipment and cleaning techniques according to the surface being cleaned and the type of contamination present.
Improve Kerb Appeal
Removing dirt and organic staining can dramatically improve the appearance of your property.
Soft Washing vs Pressure Washing
Pressure washing can be an effective solution for certain hard-wearing surfaces, but it isn't suitable for every material.
Using excessive pressure on the wrong surface can potentially cause damage to finishes, coatings or materials.
Soft washing combines specialist treatments with low-pressure rinsing, allowing the cleaning process to focus on treating the contamination rather than simply using force.
At Mr Softwash, we'll consider the surface, its condition and the type of contamination before deciding on the most appropriate cleaning method.

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 the surfaces of buildings and driveways.
Soft washing will not damage your property. 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 sodium hypochlorite) 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 with 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 render?
Yes, bleach can damage render 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 Krend and Monocouche renders.
How Bleach Can Damage Render
- 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 K Rend or Monocouche.
Steam cleaning render
Steam cleaning ( Doff/Torc ) render 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 renders like K-Rend and Monocouche.
High pressure jet washing
- Is a way to get immediate results that look good – but only for a short time.
- Can be damaging to the protective surface layer of the material being cleaned, even concrete.
- Can be damaging to wall render, because render is a relatively soft material.
- Can be damaging to certain more delicate building materials often used for patios and paths, such as Indian Sandstone.
Soft washing
- Is the best solution for cleaning exterior wall render, natural and artificial slate roofs, concrete slate roofs, paths & patios, tarmac driveways, wood decking, sheds and fences, and children's wet-pour play areas.
- Is a cleaning method that produces fast, predictable results without harming your property. Results that can last for years.
- Is a cost-effective way to bring drives, paths and patios back to their former glory. Once clean, a light annual soft wash treatment will keep your drives and paths looking great all year round.
Soft washing has many other advantages over jet washing
- Longer lasting results
- Uses less water
- Is more cost-effective
- Is safe for all known building materials
- Does not damage the surface being cleaned or exaggerate the weathering affect
- Kills the spores left behind by jet washing
For long-term maintenance of the exterior surfaces of your property – ensuring it looks great all year round – annual or biannual treatment with a Mr Softwash product is by far the safest and most cost-effective option.

What my customers say
Steve provided outstanding service. The quality of his workmanship is very high and he uses the best materials. I would strongly recommend Steve's services which is really good value
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.
I can totally recommend Steve. We had our blocked drive and patio cleaned.Both came up as new.
Steve is prompt , efficient and takes pride in his work. Steve keeps you informed on everything he is doing and why.
It’s lovely to get such good service.
Excellent workmanship, highly recommend. Did front drive and large patio at rear, totally satisfied with all that was done. Thankyou Margaret
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!!
Thank you Mr Softwash Ltd!

Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Mr Softwash Ltd have recently pressure washed a patio, fascias and soffits for me, and the results are excellent.
Thank you Steve for the superb work you've just completed on our expansive block paving driveway. It's a number of years since we saw the true colour of the bricks, now completely transformed and looking great. For anyone considering this type of work, we chose Steve because of the excellent reviews we'd read, and we like to support local business. We are delighted that we did. From Steve's prompt responses to our initial enquiry to his steady hard work on the cleaning, and completion today with the sanding, we could not be more pleased to give Steve a 5 star recommendation.
