A gentler approach for suitable render

How the treatment is applied

Mike first assesses the render and staining. Where softwashing is appropriate, the treatment is applied evenly and followed by a careful rinse where the process requires it.

  • The treatment targets algae and organic staining across the affected wall.
  • The setup is planned around windows, planting and adjoining finishes.
  • The process uses lower pressure than hard-surface jet washing.

Render cleaning and softwashing FAQs

Answers about render, softwashing, surrounding finishes and the cleaning process.

Is softwashing suitable for every rendered surface?

No universal method is promised. Mike assesses the render type, condition and staining before recommending an approach.

What is softwashing designed to treat?

Softwashing is commonly used for suitable rendered surfaces affected by organic growth and discolouration where a gentler process is appropriate.

How does softwashing differ from high-pressure cleaning?

It uses a surface-compatible treatment and controlled application rather than relying on aggressive pressure to achieve the clean.

How are windows and planting protected?

The work is planned around windows, planting and adjoining finishes, with controlled application and rinsing where appropriate.
