There are softwash equipment supply companies who try to sell newcomers to softwashing many thousands of pounds worth of softwashing equipment – before they've even got their first softwash contract ...
But in our experience, it's best to first invest only in the minimum amount of softwashing equipment you actually need to get going and earning good money.
Then, when you have some experience under your belt, and have a basic understanding of the softwashing business, it will be time to carefully think about what softwash market you want to aim for to expand your business.
Another important question to get clear on is this: "Will your softwashing business be full-time or an add-on to another business (eg gardening, painting, roofing)?"
When you know exactly what you want from your business you can make a plan of how you intend to achieve that. And asking yourself clear, focused questions is the way to do that.
Then, when you have some experience under your belt, you can look to expand your business. Then, and only then, is the time to invest wisely in upgrading your softwash equipment.

We hope this information is helpful.

Hi. I’ve been asked to softwash the front of two houses. They aren’t really that dirty to be fair. But he wants me to do it, so who am I to complain. He is then going to seal them.
I am only just starting out, and I only have a gardener backpack. Will this go for now?
Also, how much Benz bio clear will I need?
They are basic houses and standard height.
Thanks

We recently tested – just out of curiosity – some old Tornado Cleanze that was nearly two months past it's best-by date. We wanted to find out how long it could be stored for and still produce effective results. And stored badly at that ...
Want to know what happened? (the results even surprised us)

Cleaning caravans and mobile homes is an excellent soft washing market.
The process is simple and straight-forward. And cleaning several on the same day can be highly profitable.

Huge thanks to all our customers for your loyalty in making Benz your softwash product supplier of choice. We appreciate the fact that so many of our trade customers come back to us week after week, month after month, year after year.
And by way of practical appreciation, we've decided to no longer pro-actively seek domestic customers for our products and will not knowingly sell products to the customers of our trade customers, i.e. those who want to play around with d.i.y.

It's a free resource for people wanting to learn about the soft washing industry, to expand an existing business, or build a new business.
Soft washing reduces, or even eliminates, the need to use high-pressure washing.
Instead, once the build up of algae, lichen, fungus, moss and mould – the root causes of properties looking "dirty" – has been treated, the natural "self-cleansing" of sun, rain and wind removes the surface residue through time.
By educating the cleaning trade and public about soft washing we are helping develop an industry that offers sustainable treatments to clean and maintain exterior hard surfaces.

Hi Gareth,
Yes, you can start with a backpack. Wear chemical resistant clothing as they can leak. Also fit your backpack with Viton chemical resistant seals.
Please download our Product Documentation Pack, which contains detailed information about calculating the amount of softwash product you will need for this job, and for all jobs to come (copy this link into your browser): https://www.benzsoftwash.com/pages/contractor-support
Depending on the severity of the infestation, and how fast your customer wants results, you may be wise to treat with Benz Lightning Cleanze first and follow up with Benz Bio Cleanze. This double treatment is important if your customer is going to seal the render, as if the surface is not fully sanitised he could end up sealing in spores.
If you send photos via support@benzsoftwash.com we could advise further. (Also, using our email address is the best way to contact us ongoing).
I hope this info helps and wish you success with your new softwashing business.
Cheers,
Leo
