Low-pressure cleaning
The cleaning solution, application method and dwell time are adjusted to suit the surface and the type of growth present.
Low-pressure exterior cleaning for render, painted walls, cladding and other delicate surfaces affected by algae, mould, mildew, lichen and organic staining.
Soft washing is designed for exterior surfaces that need more than water alone but should not be subjected to aggressive high pressure. It uses carefully selected cleaning treatments and controlled application to target the organic growth causing the discolouration.
Our service is suitable for many types of render, painted masonry, cladding, stonework and other exterior surfaces. The exact method and treatment strength are chosen around the material, condition, access and level of contamination.
Rather than relying on force, soft washing works by treating the source of green, red, black and organic staining, helping restore a cleaner and more even appearance.

The cleaning solution, application method and dwell time are adjusted to suit the surface and the type of growth present.
We explain what can realistically be achieved, whether repeat treatment may be needed and when a different cleaning method would be more appropriate.

Yes, where the render and staining are suitable. Soft washing uses controlled treatment and low-pressure rinsing rather than relying on aggressive pressure.
It can achieve excellent results on many types of algae, lichen and organic growth. The exact process depends on the surface and condition.
Soft washing normally includes an assessment of the surface, protection of surrounding areas, controlled application of an appropriate cleaning treatment, suitable dwell time and a gentle rinse where required.
Pressure washing relies mainly on mechanical force. Soft washing uses low pressure together with a suitable treatment to target algae, mould, mildew, lichen and other organic growth. This makes it better suited to many delicate exterior surfaces.
For Filton properties, a useful quote starts with understanding the building rather than applying a one-size-fits-all package. Filton combines established residential streets with newer housing and busy urban surroundings, so exterior surfaces can pick up both organic growth and general atmospheric grime.
Our starting point is the reason for the work: typically green algae, red or black organic staining and weathered elevations that need a gentler approach. We then look at access, height, nearby extensions or conservatories, the material being worked on and the severity of the build-up. That lets us recommend a proportionate method focused on treating organic staining on suitable exterior surfaces without relying on unnecessarily high pressure.
The working method is selected after the property has been assessed. Depending on the job, that can involve controlled application of suitable cleaning solutions with low-pressure rinsing or agitation where needed. We avoid promising a result or method purely from a postcode: the surface, condition and safe access all matter when deciding how the work should be completed.
As the weather turns wetter, organic staining often becomes more noticeable through damp autumn and winter conditions, making timely treatment useful. For a quote in Filton, tell us what you have noticed and provide the property details requested on the enquiry form; we will base the recommendation on the job itself.
