What is Softwashing:Soft washing is a cleaning process that safely removes organic stains, mildew, and algae from outdoor surfaces using a low-pressure washing technique and a mixture of biocides or sodium hypochlorite, surfactants, and water.

What Do We Use Softwashing On?Patios, driveways roof tiles, render, decking, cladding etc, and other surfaces that are notoriously difficult to clean with pressure or might be damaged if used with high pressure should be soft washed. Soft washing was developed with the purpose of removing algae.

Benefits Of Softwashing?
|
On roofs, algae is prevalent, and it typically produces a noticeable black stain on your tiles and roof. Moss & algae all thrive in wet and damp conditions, spreading out and impacting negatively on your roof. Water will get into your loft area if tiles crack. This is said to have a significant impact on roofs, shortening their lifespan by up to 20 years. The only approach to effectively remove of algae & moss without damaging the roof or voiding any warranties is to use soft washing.

Even at modest pressure, pressure washing a roof can potentially void your warranty and cause granule loss. This means that the roof tiles' integrity will be compromised as a result of the water's intense pressure. Furthermore, power-washing simply washes the roof's surface, leaving the root systems that have formed in, around, and in the tiles unaffected.
The Soft Washing method safely kills any moss, fungal, and bacterial life, as well as removes any dirt and grime, from the roof, restoring it to its natural colour without causing any damage to the roofing materials. |
