Softwashing Chemicals

Softwashing uses low pressure and the right chemistry, rather than high pressure water, to clean delicate external surfaces such as render, roofs, cladding, fascias, soffits, uPVC and painted masonry. It removes organic growth at the root, so results last much longer and the risk of damaging the surface is greatly reduced. Our softwashing chemicals include Sodium Hypochlorite 15% and the Nu-Clear range, quaternary ammonium biocides such as BioClear Pro 40% and 50% DDAC and BacClear Pro BAC50, HybridBio Pro, the gentler SafeClean Eco and additives such as PureSurf Boost.

The right product depends on the surface, the type of growth and how quickly the client expects to see results. Hypochlorite based solutions work fast and visibly, while biocides tend to act more gradually and are ideal for longer term treatment or where bleach is not appropriate. Please read each product description carefully to check dilution rates, surface suitability and any licensing requirements, and always test a small area first. Apply with a suitable low pressure sprayer or dosing system, protect surrounding plants and glazing, and rinse where recommended. Many softwashing jobs involve working at height, so plan access carefully. Wear chemical resistant gloves, eye protection and suitable clothing throughout application.
