Unlike Pressure Washing, Soft Washing is the safer alternative which uses low pressure pumps (about the same amount of pressure as a standard garden hose.)Â
12 volt quiet electric pumps will keep your neighbours happy too.Â

What is SoftWashing?
A SoftWash solution is carefully blended by the SoftWash equipment which is located in the vehicle.
Â
The fully biodegradable solution is carefully mixed to use solely for your property and the materials it is made from, such as render, tiles, cladding and wood, plus the level of infestation which needs treating such as moulds, mildew, lichens and mosses which are growing on the surfaces.
SoftWash Equipment
Longer lasting results are achieved, often up to 4 – 6 times longer than if pressure washed.
Â
SoftWashing uses much less water than a pressure washer would, and is also less noisy due to being 12 volt battery powered. All in all it is much gentler than pressure washing with much more longer lasting results.
