Unleashing The Power of Soft Wash Render Cleaning

Render's aesthetically pleasing finish makes it popular amongst homeowners and commercial property owners alike. Despite its resilient nature, there's no denying that exposure to elements can cause discolouration and moss growth. In this post, we delve deep into an effective solution to this issue – Soft Wash Render Cleaning. We'll decode what it is, why it’s the favourite of many property maintenance experts, and how you can get the best out of it.

What is Soft Wash Render Cleaning?

Think of soft wash render cleaning as a gentle, yet highly effective approach to cleaning rendered surfaces. Unlike power washing, which relies on high-pressure water to blast dirt away, soft washing utilizes a mixture of low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions to do the job. It is less invasive, making it a safer choice for delicate rendering.

Why Choose Soft Wash Over Other Cleaning Methods?

The efficacy of soft wash makes it an attractive substitute to the traditional cleaning methods. Here's why:

Retains Structural Integrity: Soft wash puts less stress on your render, preserving its structural integrity. It’s gentle yet undeniably efficient.
Long-Lasting Results: The soft wash chemicals not only clean the render surface but also inhibit the future growth of moss and algae, awarding you a long-lasting, pristine finish.

Soft Wash Render Cleaning - Best Practices

As with everything else, success with soft wash render cleaning lies in knowing the tricks of the trade. Here are some pointers on how to maximize its benefits:

Choosing the Right Equipment: Adequate tools are integral to the outcome of a soft wash render cleaning job. Opt for specialized soft washing equipment that allows flexibility and thorough cleaning.
Mastering the Process: Understanding how to effectively soft wash render demands skill and training. Soft wash training courses can be of great help and worth considering.

Concluding Thoughts

The benefits of soft wash render cleaning are too significant to ignore. It is a win-win with its gentle effectiveness on your render and long-lasting finish. By hiring professionals or by educating yourself about the process and the right tools, you can unlock the true potential of this efficient cleaning method.

Remember, it’s not just about keeping your property looking clean and attractive; it’s also about preserving its value for years to come.

If you are having difficulty getting your head around the maths, trying to work out what percentage of softwash you need, how much chemical, surfactant and water to add, then this is the App for you.

The Soft Wash Calculator App allows you to work out your soft wash recipe by telling you exactly how much chemical, how much water and how much surfactant to add to get the desired soft wash recipe.
It doesn't stop there!.

Take this scenario
You started with a 1% soft wash recipe of 50 gal (or litres) for a deck clean and you’re left with 13 gallons.

You get a call from a prospective customer to clean their roof. Past experience tells you a 4% soft wash recipe is needed, but what about your leftover mix at 1%?.

Do you waste time and effort driving back to base to transfer into a standby tank?
You could consider the 13 gal as just water, top up the tank and start again.
But that’s throwing away the value of the mix and raising your overhead.

Soft Wash Calculator App to the rescue.

You get to the new job and it requires 100 gal / litres.
Switch into remix mode , confirming the 13 gal already in the tank
Move the dials to your new recipe and the app immediately updates the different amounts to add in front of your eyes including the correct amount of extra surfactant.

You now have a 100 gal / litres tank of 4% soft wash recipe ready for your roof clean job!

Not forgetting you’ve saved money too, all without stress and uncertainty . Don’t underestimate what confident calmness has on your customer putting out referrals.

The same applies if you have a 4% recipe left in your tank and you need to dilute it down to 2%. Again the app will tell you how.

Softwashing calculator will also work for any chemical recipe. For instance you can use it for Sodium Hypochlorite, Bleach, Biocide , TFR traffic film remover and degreaser. Even the mathematically-challenged rocket scientist can top up their booster tanks to new fuel mixes after launch delays caused by changing weather conditions.

Using this app you will know exactly what chemical strength to put on any surface giving you the confidence and the knowledge of a professional soft washer and you’ll save money as well.

This app is also backward compatible to devices running iOS7. We've done this so you can re-purpose an old iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 5 for what could be hazardous work environments. Just toss one in your cleaning van's toolkit.

Once you learn the methods and procedures of how to apply the soft wash to the different surfaces that need cleaning you’ll be unstoppable!

The app also has a guide to what percentage for what surface. And if you are the lucky owner of a Clever Injector it will remind you the correct setting for the job.
However you should always consider and risk assess what soft wash recipe you need to clean the surface.

** A major iOS code-base change may require a re-purchase. The appiverse at the time will confirm our promise that we won't do so unless the necessity is apparent.
