BENEFITS OF SOFTWASHING
We choose softwashing because it is a safer and more effective way to clean natural stone. The gentle, low-pressure process removes organic growth without causing surface damage, helping patios stay cleaner for longer.
1.
Gentle on Stone Surfaces
Unlike jet washing, softwashing uses low pressure. This protects the natural finish of stone patios and prevents surface erosion, cracks, and loose joints.
3.
Improves Appearance
Softwashing restores the natural colour of stone, leaving patios cleaner, brighter, and more attractive.
2.
Safe & Effective
The cleaning solutions are designed to be stone-safe and biodegradable when used correctly. They remove staining without harsh force.
4.
Less Damage, Less Maintenance
Because softwashing is gentle, it helps extend the life of your patio and reduces the need for frequent repairs.

Softwash vs Jetwash
Risk of Damage
Jet washing can:
Strip the surface of natural stone
Remove jointing sand
Cause cracks and erosion
Softwashing avoids these risks by using gentle pressure.
Longer-Lasting Clean
Softwashed patios stay cleaner for longer because the treatment continues to work after application.
Better for Algae & Moss
Jet washing removes visible growth, but often leaves spores behind.
Softwashing kills growth at the source, helping to prevent quick regrowth.
Ideal for Natural Stone
Softwashing is the preferred method for sandstone, limestone, slate, and porcelain.

FAQs on Soft Wash method...
Why is softwashing best for patios?
Softwashing provides a deeper, longer-lasting clean without the risk of surface damage. It protects your patio while improving its appearance and reducing future maintenance.
Does softwashing last longer than jet washing?
Yes. Softwash treatments kill organic growth at the root, meaning algae and moss take longer to return. Jet washing often removes only the surface growth, allowing it to come back quickly.
How is softwashing different from jet washing?
Jet washing uses high pressure to remove dirt, which can damage stone, remove jointing sand, and cause surface wear. Softwashing uses low pressure and cleaning solutions to safely break down and remove growth without harming the surface.
Are softwash products safe for natural stone?
Yes. Softwash solutions are specially formulated to be gentle on delicate surfaces like sandstone, limestone, and slate, helping preserve the natural finish without causing damage.
What products are used in the softwash method?
Softwashing uses professional biocidal cleaning solutions designed to kill algae, moss, mould, and organic growth. These products are water-based, stone-safe, and work by treating the surface rather than blasting it with pressure.
