The Complete Guide to Soft Washing | Mr Softwash
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a professional exterior cleaning method that safely removes algae, moss, mould, mildew, lichen, and bacteria from outdoor surfaces using specialised cleaning solutions and low-pressure water. Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing focuses on treating the root cause of staining rather than simply blasting it away.
At Mr Softwash, we use proven soft washing techniques to restore the appearance of homes and commercial properties while protecting delicate surfaces from unnecessary damage.
How Does Soft Washing Work?
Soft washing combines biodegradable cleaning treatments with controlled low-pressure application to break down organic growth and lift dirt from exterior surfaces.
The process typically involves:
- Inspecting the surface and identifying the type of contamination.
- Applying specialist cleaning solutions designed to eliminate algae, mould, mildew, moss and lichen.
- Allowing the treatment time to penetrate and destroy organic growth.
- Gently rinsing the surface where appropriate.
- Leaving the surface cleaner for longer, as the treatment continues to inhibit regrowth.
Rather than just improving appearance, soft washing helps create a healthier, longer-lasting clean.
Soft Washing vs Pressure Washing
Although both methods clean exterior surfaces, they are designed for different tasks.
Soft Washing
- Low-pressure application
- Removes organic growth at its source
- Suitable for delicate surfaces
- Longer-lasting results
- Lower risk of surface damage
Pressure Washing
- High-pressure water cleaning
- Excellent for hard surfaces such as concrete and paving
- Quickly removes mud and surface dirt
- Less effective at preventing algae from returning
- Can damage some roofing materials, render, paintwork and cladding if used incorrectly
Our experienced team will always recommend the safest and most effective cleaning method for your property.
What Can Be Soft Washed?
Soft washing is suitable for a wide range of exterior surfaces, including:
- Roof tiles
- Render
- K-Rend
- Monocouche render
- Painted walls
- Brickwork
- Stonework
- uPVC cladding
- Composite cladding
- Fascias and soffits
- Gutters
- Conservatories
- Garden walls
- Fencing
- Outdoor furniture
- Commercial buildings
Every surface is assessed before treatment to ensure the correct cleaning solution and application method are used.
What Does Soft Washing Remove?
Soft washing effectively removes:
- Green algae
- Black mould
- Mildew
- Moss
- Lichen
- Fungal growth
- Airborne pollution
- Organic staining
- Bacteria
These contaminants not only affect your property's appearance but can also contribute to surface deterioration over time.
Why Choose Soft Washing?
Longer-Lasting Results
Because soft washing kills spores and biological growth rather than simply washing them off, surfaces generally stay cleaner for much longer.
Protects Your Property
Low-pressure cleaning significantly reduces the risk of damaging render, roof tiles, paintwork, cladding and other delicate materials.
Improves Kerb Appeal
Removing staining and organic growth instantly refreshes the appearance of your property, making it look cleaner, brighter and well maintained.
Helps Extend Surface Lifespan
Regular maintenance removes harmful biological growth that can contribute to staining, moisture retention and premature deterioration.
Is Soft Washing Safe?
When carried out by trained professionals, soft washing is a safe and highly effective cleaning method.
At Mr Softwash, we:
- Assess every property before work begins.
- Select the correct treatment for each surface.
- Protect surrounding plants and landscaping where required.
- Follow manufacturer guidance and industry best practices.
- Rinse surrounding areas as necessary.
- Work safely and responsibly at all times.
How Often Should Soft Washing Be Carried Out?
Cleaning frequency depends on the property's location and surrounding environment.
Properties near trees, woodland or coastal areas often experience faster organic growth than those in more open locations.
As a general guide:
- Residential properties: every 3–5 years
- Commercial buildings: every 1–3 years
- Shaded or damp areas: more frequent treatments may be beneficial
Regular maintenance helps keep surfaces looking their best while reducing the need for more intensive cleaning.

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.
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.
