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.

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.
Soft Washing in Stonehouse can involve very different jobs depending on the age, layout and exposure of the property. Stonehouse combines established housing with newer development and properties close to open green areas, so exterior surfaces can present a varied mix of staining, debris and access conditions.
Before pricing the job we consider the practical details that can change the amount of work involved: access around the property, storey height, extensions, surface condition and the extent of the problem. Common reasons customers enquire include green algae, red or black organic staining and weathered elevations that need a gentler approach. The aim is treating organic staining on suitable exterior surfaces without relying on unnecessarily high pressure, rather than simply using the same process on every address.
For this service we normally work with controlled application of suitable cleaning solutions with low-pressure rinsing or agitation where needed. The exact process is confirmed from the condition of the property, because a method that is suitable for one home may not be appropriate for another. Where photographs are useful, they can help us understand the job before arranging the work.
With autumn approaching, organic staining often becomes more noticeable through damp autumn and winter conditions, making timely treatment useful. If you are in Stonehouse, send the postcode and a short description of what you need. We can then confirm coverage and provide a free quotation based on the actual property.
