Soft Washing

About Our Soft Washing Service

Soft washing is the professional method of choice for cleaning surfaces that high-pressure water would damage. Instead of relying on water pressure to blast away grime, soft washing uses specialist, biodegradable cleaning solutions applied at low pressure to break down and kill organic growth — algae, moss, lichen, mould, and mildew — at the root rather than just removing the visible surface layer. This means the results last longer than a conventional pressure wash, because the organic matter that causes re-growth is fully treated rather than just knocked back. At Oakleys Exterior Cleaning, soft washing is the method we recommend for render, K-Rend, painted masonry, wood cladding, roof tiles, and any surface where high pressure would cause damage or strip protective coatings. We use low-impact equipment and cleaning agents that are safe for surrounding hard landscaping when applied correctly. If you are unsure whether your surface needs soft washing or pressure washing, we are happy to assess it and advise at no charge. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
