What is Softwashing ?
The application of a chemical concentrate via a low
pressure nozzle and pump.
The Chemical:
1) A hypochlorite based softwash biocide which at
5:1-10:1 dilution is classed by the EU, PCD and HSE
as non corrosive or hazardous to people or the
environment.
2) A Biocidal Wash (DDAC) fully biodegradable does
not bio-accumulate Ph neutral, so safe for children
and pets once treated surface is completely dry.
3) A organic Softwash which is biodegradable100%
safe for the environment 100% ( Hypochlorite) Free
100% Biocide Free Non hazardous Non toxic.
Types of Organic growth that can be removed
by Softwashing:
1)
Algae - is a green film or powdery layer found
on paving stones,stonework and render.
2)
Lichen - grows on timber structures and paving
stones, roofs. The colour can vary from orange to
silver/white.
3)
Moss - is found on all types of surfaces and can
be very dense tufts of growths.
Roof Moss & Lichens:
Roofs after a few years will develop small patches
moss and lichen growth which are not usually a
problem however if the moss is allowed to propagate
then it can cause problems.
Moss absorbs large amount of water like a sponge,
keeping your roof constantly wet. This over time will
degrade the roof tile.
Moss also slows down the rain run off into the
gutters. Moss also breaks off in chunks falling into the
valleys, gutters with the potential to block drains or
the water can come up over the upstand into the
underside of the tile rotting the roof structure.
It is the birds however pecking the moss that then
falls to the ground level or over the conservatory roof
that is the biggest complaint by customers.

How Does it Work?
Softwash Biocde:
The surfactant in the solution promotes the adhesion
of the softwash to the substrate which allows for a
prolonged dwell time thus it is extremely effective at
low concentration which is safe for people, materials
and the environment. It is the oxidization that
damages the outer membrane of microbial cells
allowing them to be broken up and lifted away from
the surface.
Biocide:
The products works by entering the microorganism’s
cell membrane to damage and inhibit the cell’s
genetic activity
which destroys its integrity.
Organic Softwash:
The product will enter the cell wall of the
surface contaminant killing it.
How Long does softwash take to clean?
The specialised softwash biocide works extremely
rapidly to give remarkable results sometime in only
30-60 minutes – often much less on smooth, non-
porous surfaces and does not bio-accumulate also
becomes inactive within 30-60 minutes of application
where it breaks down when in contact with organic
materials and quickly dissipates.
Softwash (DDAC) will kill Green Algae within minutes
by cell wall puncture and should disappear over a few
weeks as with Red Algae - Black Fungi 4 weeks to 6
weeks to shed the dead biofilm. This gives the
superficial stains time to recede, leaving the marks if
any requiring attention more identifiable.
Organic softwash works similar to softwash ddac.
Pebble Dash Cleaning the results that can
be achieved.
Softwash Application
The application to the substrate is by a low pressure
pump with the chemical concentrate mixed to the
correct solution for the works task. The pressure
applied for the spray application is no more than a
garden hose around 3.5bar or it can also be applied
with a soft bristle brush system. The substrate
dictates the application method.
How much does rending cleaning cost?
The cost for cleaning rendered walls varies it will
depend on the size, is it pebble dash or render and
the chemical system that is used.
A guide price starts from around £80 for a small wall
to £425 for the same wall dependent of the chemical
system used.
Pressure Washing is not recommended to clean
Pebble Dash walls as the force of the jet will dislodge
the pebble dash in addition it may score a smooth
render finish such as K-Rend.
Softwashing is the preferred method for the cleaning
of Pebble Dash and Smooth Renders this non-
invasive system uses chemicals to remove the
staining rather than force.
How to clean Render
What organic matter does it Clean?
Trentepohlia are mostly yellow to bright orange or
red-brown in colour, due to the orange pigment,
haematochrome (β-carotene), which usually hides
the green of the chlorophyll. The genus is found on
walls of buildings, they can cause severe mechanical
degradation and deterioration.

Pebble Dash Cleaning
Pebble Dash Roughcast harling can all be cleaned with a low pressure chemical
spray that is designed for tough stain removal the powerful surfactant "sticks"
the active ingredient to the surface – ensuring a higher contact time – which
means the low, and therefore safe, concentrations of sodium hypochlorite can
work with extremely high effectiveness.
The waste product contains no free chlorine and it quickly breaks down into
essentially salt and water during or after use and the surfactant is fully
biodegradable which means that it does not bio-accumulate and breaks down
when rinsed.
Green stains will be gone within an hour, red will turn pink and disappear in 4-24
hours. Black stains will normally disappear within two hours after second
treatment however a faint residual outline may still be visable.
