We have completed many projects cleaning concrete slabs for domestic and commerical customers alike.
Footfall, weather, and general wear and tear means that concrete slabs benefit from regular maintenance. Regular brushing fortunately works well for day to day needs, but over time stains and organic growths can accumulate. In such circumstances, softwashing is recommended. Power Washing, which can range up to an epic 2000 psi, is far too aggressive in most circumstances. The effects of a softwash will last for longer too.
For the purposes of effective cleaning, it is first important to establish what kind of concrete slabs require cleaning. While there are many varieties which all require niche treatment, it is important to consider whether the slabs and the floor they form part of are porous or non-porous, so that they receive the right treatment. Mild detergents with the appropriate biocide, depending on the infection, are best the best option for cleaning concrete slabs.
When cleaning non-porous slabs we will first inspect for any damage, as repair is vital if the non-porous surface is to be maintained over time. We will give dedicated treatments to the infected areas, before delivering a rigorous clean to remove stains and obvious infectants. The biocide will then be left to work its magic and prevent reinfection over the coming weeks and months.
Porous concrete slabs will be given a similar inspection and treatment, but we will concentrate on steam cleaning to really penetrate the surface and ensure a deep clean. Softwashing concrete slabs cleans them both inside and out. All our softwash products are mild, 100% safe and biodegradable. The immediately positive effects of a softwash will usually last three times longer than the equivalent high pressure wash. So when sweepring is not enough to clean concrete slabs contact Softwashing UK for a conversation and quotation.
Softwashing Uk treats every job as its own individual project, as such, the most suitable method will be proposed in our quotation. Over the many years we have been restoring render, we have found that the cleaning of it falls in to five categories:
This service is used when the render has not been cleaned for many years and the render is heavily stained with black mould, blackspot and lichens, as per the sliding photograph.
This method requires every square inch of the render to be low-pressure washed, or steam cleaned and treated with stain remover, multiple times to achieve the desired finish.
This service is our render restoration service above, followed by our biocide render
treatment service, below in point 5.
This service is for your day-to-day cleaning of render, that has average organic staining i.e. green, red and some black staining in areas. An example of this is showed in the
photographs.
This service is for your day-to-day cleaning of render which is followed by a biocide
treatment, to help keep the render cleaner for longer.
The application of a high quality HSE approved professional use only biocide. A biocide
treatment will help keep render looking clean, while reducing the need for more intensive
and expensive render restoration cleaning, at a later date.
Specialist biocide treatments for render are essential for maintaining the appearance and durability of render. Homeowners often underestimate the impact of weather on render. Over time, harsh conditions can lead to cracks, discolouration, and mould growth.
Applying anti-fungal solutions, prevents mould and algae growth. It’s crucial to address these problems early, as they can worsen over time.
Our professional-grade biocide acts fast against biological growth on all external hard surfaces, breaking the reproductive cycle of microbial surface contaminants.
Concrete slabs are a popular choice for patios, paths, and driveways due to their strength, clean appearance, and long-lasting nature. But over time, they can become stained with algae, moss, lichen, and grime. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.
We provide professional concrete slab cleaning using advanced soft washing technology — a safer, longer-lasting alternative to traditional pressure washing.
Unlike high-pressure washing, which can damage concrete and wear down surfaces, our low-pressure soft wash system uses biodegradable cleaning solutions that safely penetrate deep into the surface. This method kills algae, moss, and organic growth at the root — with no harsh blasting or surface erosion.
Our soft washing doesn’t just improve surface appearance — it prevents regrowth by eliminating the spores and bacteria that cause staining. That means cleaner concrete slabs for months rather than weeks, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
We don’t just clean—we treat. Our biocidal application kills moss, algae, and lichen at their source, making it much harder for them to return quickly. This proactive approach protects your slabs while keeping your property looking fresh.
High-pressure cleaning can strip away the top layer of concrete, exposing aggregate and leaving an uneven finish. Our soft wash method is gentle enough for older or weathered slabs, but powerful enough to tackle deep staining, oil marks, and organic build-up.
When you hire Softwashing UK, you get skilled, certified professionals. Our team is trained in the latest soft washing techniques, health and safety standards, and chemical handling. We’re also fully insured for domestic and commercial projects.
We only use biodegradable, environmentally safe products. These solutions break down naturally after use and are completely safe for your garden, pets, and children when applied properly. We prioritise safety and sustainability on every job.
Our reputation is built on reliability, results, and respect for your home. From first contact to final inspection, we offer clear communication, punctual service, and a satisfaction guarantee on every clean.
