Most of the time as a softwash contractor, you'll find you won't need a power/pressure washer to do the initial soft washing. Soft washing is a technique that largely supersedes power/pressure washing. But it's important to know when using a power/pressure washer will be the best tool for the job.

How to soft wash man-made, composite, artificial fibre cement roof tiles (Part Two)

January 23, 2018 2 Comments

A customer asked us for advice on the best way to clean moss from a roof tiled with man-made fibre cement slates.

The problem is that fibre cement slates usually have a surface coating, which can break down over time though natural weathering, or as a result of a poor manufacturing process.

Soft washing roofs the safe way

Soft washing roofs the safe way (video)

January 03, 2017

A customer told us, “I’ve seen videos of soft washing roofs in which the soft washing operator uses a spray lance to shoot the chemical up from the ground. They don't brush the soft washing chemical into the surface. They just spray on the softwash solution, leave for a while, coat again, then rinse off with water.

Can moss be killed and controlled by soft washing? (video)

November 08, 2016 3 Comments

Do you know how to control moss by soft washing?

Moss will normally start to appear around a new property after about 2-7 years. And it particularly loves to grow on tarmac and on concrete roof tiles. On many buildings moss will start to grow on the roof, spread from the roof to the gutters, and then onto footpaths and drives.

About this Benz website

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 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.
