Brick Cleaning with Softwashing Solutions

Softwashing UK specialises in professional brick cleaning, offering a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for cleaning brick walls, houses, and building facades. Unlike traditional high-pressure cleaning, softwashing protects the integrity of your brickwork while delivering superior cleaning results.

Why Choose Softwashing for Brick Cleaning?

High-pressure cleaning should never be used on masonry, as it can cause permanent damage to the surface and mortar. Whether you're cleaning new builds or established brickwork, softwashing is the preferred method for cleaning brick surfaces without causing harm. On newly constructed buildings, it is essential to remove lime, mortar, cement, and other construction debris to maintain the brick's appearance and protect its longevity. Over time, older buildings may also develop unsightly stains caused by organic growth, atmospheric pollutants, and other contaminants, which softwashing can effectively remove.

Protecting the Longevity of Your Brickwork

Softwashing is the best way to cleanse brickwork without damaging or eroding the surface. Using water, regardless of pressure, can be hazardous to buildings if misdirected. At Softwashing UK, we take every precaution to ensure that water does not enter vulnerable areas of your property. We use temporary guttering and seal potential entry points before cleaning, and we conduct a thorough inspection of your brickwork to identify any necessary repairs or re-pointing.

On newly constructed brickwork, smears caused by lime, mortar, and cement pointing can leave behind unsightly marks that take months to weather away naturally. Softwashing removes these residues with designated cleaning agents that break down brick acids, followed by a gentle low-pressure rinse with clean water, restoring the brick’s original appearance.

The Benefits of Softwashing Over High Pressure Cleaning

While high-pressure washing may temporarily remove surface stains from brickwork, it can cause significant long-term damage. Over time, high-pressure jets erode the surface of bricks and mortar, leading to structural weakness and an increased risk of future staining and contamination. Softwashing, on the other hand, is designed to protect the integrity of your brickwork, removing stains without causing erosion or damage.

Our softwashing techniques use pH-neutral chemical formulas that penetrate the porous surface of the brick to kill mildew, algae, moss, and other atmospheric pollutants that thrive deep within the material. Unlike high-pressure washing, which only removes surface-level contaminants, softwashing provides a deeper clean that lasts far longer, ensuring that your brickwork remains protected and visually appealing for years.

Preserve the Appearance and Structural Integrity of Your Brickwork

Softwashing is the ideal solution for brick cleaning because it is safe for both appearance and structural integrity. It not only protects the surface from erosion but also ensures that mortar joints remain intact, preserving the long-term strength of your brickwork. Softwashing UK uses carefully selected cleaning agents and low-pressure water to restore the appearance of your brick surfaces without causing permanent damage.

Eco-Friendly and Effective Brick Cleaning

Our softwashing solutions are eco-friendly and biodegradable, making them safe for the environment while still offering exceptional cleaning results. Whether you need to clean new or older brick surfaces, softwashing provides a more sustainable and long-lasting solution compared to high-pressure washing.
