What Is Soft washing?
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses biodegradable, water-based solutions to eliminate organic growth and surface contaminants. Unlike high-pressure washing, soft washing is safe for fragile surfaces and modern building materials such as render, cladding, painted brick, and architectural finishes.
It doesn’t just wash away visible grime, it penetrates surfaces to eliminate microbial roots, delivering longer-lasting results and helping extend the life of your building materials.
Why Soft washing Needs a Professional Touch
While softwashing is a gentle method, it must be performed by trained professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness. At Roundhouse UK, we:
Use specialist softwash systems and eco-safe chemical formulations
Adjust our process to suit different materials and weather conditions
Comply with health & safety standards for chemical handling and environmental protection
Attempting soft washing without proper training risks staining, ineffective results, or even surface damage.

Soft washing relies on very low pressure, about the strength of a garden tap paired with biodegradable detergents that break down algae, mould and airborne pollutants at their roots. Because it cleans chemically rather than mechanically, it’s gentle enough for modern renders, cladding, signage and painted brickwork that high-pressure jetting could scar or strip.
Yes. The low-pressure application prevents water ingress, etching and spalling on tiles, metal panels and heritage stonework. Our technicians match the detergent blend to each substrate and finish with a controlled rinse, ensuring no dislodged pointing, salt blooms or surface damage.
Because the solution kills spores instead of merely rinsing them away, a commercial façade typically remains bright four to six times longer than after standard jet-washing, often 18–36 months before any noticeable regrowth, depending on shade, exposure and surrounding vegetation.
Pricing is calculated per square metre and depends on access (MEWPs, rope, scaffolding), the level of organic growth and water/chemical volume.
Absolutely. A typical soft wash uses 60–70 % less water than pressure washing and employs detergents that biodegrade within 20 days. Because the clean lasts longer, you schedule fewer visits, cutting both maintenance spend and the carbon footprint of repeat site work.
