 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. 

 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. 

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
