Soft washing: gentle on your walls, ruthless on the grime
Low-pressure cleaning for render, pebbledash, roughcast, stone and uPVC across Dumfries & Galloway. The kind way to bring a whole house back to life.
Give any wall around here a couple of damp winters and the algae, moss, lichen and mould move in. Painted render goes streaky, pebbledash turns green, and the whole house starts to look tired long before its time. Blasting it with high pressure would do more harm than good, which is exactly why we soft wash instead.
Soft washing pairs low pressure with specialist treatments, so we don't just clean the surface, we kill the organic growth at the source. Your walls come up beautifully, and they stay cleaner for far longer than a wash alone. It's the same careful thinking behind the rest of our exterior cleaning: always the right method for the surface, never the biggest hose for the job.
Ideal for the surfaces pressure would punish
- Painted render. Brightened gently, with the finish protected rather than stripped.
- Pebbledash. Every nook cleaned without loosening a single pebble.
- Roughcast. All of the texture, none of the green.
- Brick and stone. Years of staining lifted carefully, never blasted.
- Exterior walls. Whole elevations cleaned evenly, top to bottom.
- uPVC cladding. Washed back to bright without harsh scrubbing.
Painting soon? Wash first
If you're planning to repaint your property, a soft wash is the perfect first step. Paint hates going onto algae, mould and chalky grime; it grips poorly and fails early. A soft wash leaves a clean, contaminant-free surface for the paint to hold onto, which means a smarter finish that lasts a good deal longer.
Painters love us for it. Get the wash booked ahead of the decorating and the whole job runs smoother.
