Oil Stains & Grime: How Contractors Can Restore Driveways with SoftWash UK Products
A clean driveway instantly lifts the appearance of any home or commercial property. But over time, oil spills, embedded grime, and algae can turn surfaces dull and slippery. At SoftWash UK, we provide the high-performance chemicals and equipment that help exterior cleaning professionals tackle these challenges head-on—especially for softwashing and treatments after jet washing.
Why Driveways Need More Than Just a Jet Wash
Pressure washing alone might blast away surface dirt, but it doesn’t always solve deeper issues—like ingrained oil stains or persistent organic growth. That's why many contractors turn to a combined approach, pairing traditional jet washing with softwash treatments for a longer-lasting, deeper clean.
This is where SoftWash UK’s specialist products come in—supporting professionals with results that keep clients happy and surfaces cleaner for longer.
The SoftWash UK Approach for Driveway Cleaning
We supply proven chemical solutions and equipment that fit seamlessly into a contractor’s workflow:
1. Tackle Oil Stains with Grenade Oil Stain Remover
Our powerful Grenade Oil Stain Remover is specially formulated to break down and lift oil and hydrocarbon residues from porous surfaces like concrete and block paving. Ideal before or after pressure washing, it penetrates deep to help restore stained driveways to their original colour.
2. Deep Clean with Sodium Hypochlorite
After pressure washing, apply our professional-grade Sodium Hypochlorite to eliminate algae, moss, and black spotting. It kills organic growth at the root level and whitens surfaces, delivering a noticeable transformation and helping prevent quick regrowth.
3. Boost Performance with Clever Wash Surfactant
Mix Clever Wash Surfactant into your softwash solution to improve cling time, reduce run-off, and enhance the effectiveness of your chemical treatments. It ensures even coverage and deeper penetration—especially useful on vertical surfaces or textured driveway finishes.
