• What chemicals are in soft wash?

Soft washing uses a mixture of chemicals, depending on the surface material and type of contamination. The key ones are:

– professional grade diluted sodium hypochlorite (bleach) – kills organic mold, algae and other organic growth.
– surface acting agents – help other chemicals “stick” to the surface better, help to loosen and penetrate dirt.
– odor maskers – help to disguise bleach smells or get rid of any natural smells of the surface (smoke, urine, garbage).
– neutralising agents –  neutralise chemicals after softwashing, important if you have pets running around or want to give you plants an extra layer of protection.
– specialty agents – fight less common contaminations or used to treat some surfaces. Some examples are: wood brightening, moss killing, rust removal and so on.

• How long does soft washing last?

Depending on the surface, results can last for a number of years but each property reacts differently in its environment and every site is different.

You can gauge how long it will last by how long it took the building to develop growths either from new or since it was last cleaned professionally.

• Is soft wash better than pressure washing?

Soft washing cleaning results generally last up to 6x longer than pressure washing alone. Soft washing uses chemicals instead of pressure power to remove dirt. It doesn’t damage the surfaces and also can be used on brick, render and other surfaces that can be ruined by pressure washing.
