Softwashing Gentle Effective Exterior Cleaning Kent

Softwashing – Gentle and Effective Exterior Cleaning.

Low Pressure Exterior Building Cleaning in Kent and the South East.

What is Softwashing?

Softwashing is a modern, low-pressure cleaning method that uses specially formulated, biodegradable cleaning solutions — rather than high-pressure jets — to safely and thoroughly clean exterior surfaces of buildings and property grounds.

This technique removes dirt, algae, moss, lichen, mildew, and environmental staining from surfaces such as roofs, render, cladding, patios, driveways, fencing, decking, and more — restoring surfaces without risk of damage or degradation.

Why Softwashing is the Right Choice.



Gentle yet powerful.

Because softwashing uses low-pressure application, it avoids the risk of damaging delicate surfaces (e.g. roof tiles, renders, cladding, wood decking, tarmac, block paving) that can occur with high-pressure washing.



Deeper, longer-lasting clean.

The cleaning solutions don’t just wash away visible grime; they treat and neutralise algae, moss, fungi and spores at the root. That means the clean lasts much longer than a standard pressure wash.



Safe for a wide range of materials.

Softwashing is suitable for roofs (tile, slate, slate-type, etc.), exterior wall render and cladding, patios, driveways, fencing, decking, and similar surfaces often found on both residential and commercial properties.



Environmentally considerate & efficient.

Many softwash systems use eco-friendly, biodegradable detergents, and use significantly less water than traditional pressure washing. This makes softwashing a more sustainable and lower-impact choice.



Cost-effective maintenance.

Because the results last longer and organic growth is treated at its source, surfaces need cleaning less often — reducing long-term maintenance costs and hassle.

What Oakwood’s Softwashing Service Delivers

At Oakwood, our softwashing service is designed to bring you clean, durable, and damage-free results — whether you need a one-off clean or a scheduled maintenance programme.

Assessment & Surface Survey

We begin with a detailed review of your property’s exterior surfaces — roof, walls, render, cladding, paving, driveways, decking, etc. — to identify areas that require cleaning or treatment.

Tailored Cleaning Solution

Based on the surface material and type of contamination (e.g. algae, moss, mildew, staining), we apply a carefully blended, eco-friendly cleaning solution that targets the root cause of grime and biological growth.

Gentle Application

Using low-pressure spray equipment, we apply the cleaning solution so there’s no damage risk to tiles, renders, stonework or other materials. This gentle method preserves the integrity and appearance of your property.

Dwell Time & Treatment

The solution is allowed to work, breaking down organic growth, spores, stains, and contaminants at their source rather than just removing surface dirt.

Rinse & Final Inspection

After treatment, surfaces are gently rinsed and inspected to ensure even cleaning and a uniform finish.

Optional Ongoing Maintenance & Protection

We can provide a maintenance plan to re-treat and protect surfaces periodically — helping prevent regrowth of algae, moss, or mould and keeping your property looking clean year-round.
