What is soft washing?

Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method. A solution containing a biocide and a surfactant is applied at low pressure, left to kill algae, mould, lichen and bacteria, then rinsed off. It cleans by killing the growth rather than blasting it off, which makes it safer for delicate surfaces and keeps them clean for longer.

What to have ready for your Barnstaple quote

  • Make sure an outside tap is working and that there is access to all sides of the property
  • Move cars, furniture and pots away from the walls and keep pets indoors on the day
  • Take photos of each side of the property, the roof and any outbuildings you want cleaned
  • Note the type of surface, such as silicone render, painted render, brick, stone or concrete tiles
  • Ask which product will be used on your surface and request the safety data sheet
