Why is it usually best practice to apply Benz Bio Cleanze after Benz Lightning Cleanze?

Why is it usually best practice to apply Benz Bio Cleanze after Benz Lightning Cleanze?

The fact is that no sodium hypochlorite (SH) based softwash solution can, by itself, kill all the spores on, and in, a porous surface. And sodium hypochlorite offers zero protection against re-colonisation.

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.
