Cladding Cleaning with Softwashing

When it comes to cleaning cladding, Softwashing UK recommends softwashing over traditional pressure washing for a more effective and long-lasting result. Softwashing not only protects your building’s exterior but also provides a more thorough clean, especially when dealing with delicate materials such as wood, laminate, or composite finishes.

Cladding is the protective outer layer of a building, made from a variety of materials including wood, concrete, uPVC, aluminium, composite, stainless steel, and even glass. Over time, cladding can deteriorate due to organic growth, oxidation, atmospheric pollutants, and other contaminants. Softwashing is the ideal solution to clean and restore cladding, ensuring it stays in top condition for years to come.

Why Choose Softwashing for Cladding Cleaning?

Unlike pressure washing, which can cause damage to delicate surfaces, softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with environmentally friendly cleaning solutions. This method gently removes dirt, algae, moss, mould, and other organic stains, without risking surface damage. Whether your cladding is made of wood, laminate, or metal, Softwashing UK has the right approach to bring your building back to life.

Our cleaning process may involve the use of DDAC biocides for wood cladding, which effectively eliminate organic growth while preserving the integrity of the wood. For other materials like aluminium or uPVC, we use high-quality degreasers and traffic film removers to restore the cladding’s original appearance. We can also apply specialist restorative creams or surfactants to remove oxidation or hard water stains.

Cost-Effective Cladding Cleaning Services

At Softwashing UK, we understand the importance of keeping costs low while delivering outstanding results. Our low-pressure technology allows us to clean cladding from the ground level using water-fed poles, eliminating the need for costly scaffolding or cherry pickers in many cases. We can clean surfaces up to 60 feet high, saving both time and money, while ensuring the job is completed safely and effectively.

When cleaning wood and laminate cladding, we take extra care to assess the surface for cracks in varnish or paint, which could allow moisture to penetrate and cause further damage. We use the appropriate biocides or clement products to ensure a thorough, safe clean for your cladding surfaces.

Environmentally Friendly Cladding Cleaning Solutions

Our softwashing solutions are 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly, ensuring that your building is not only cleaned but also protected from harmful chemicals. Unlike high-pressure washing, which can sometimes cause damage and is not suitable for sensitive materials like wood, softwashing removes stains and eliminates the root cause of biological contamination, offering longer-lasting results.

Why Softwashing Is the Best Option for Cladding Cleaning

High-pressure washing can be effective for certain types of cladding, but it comes with significant risks, especially when working at height or on delicate materials. The force of high-pressure water can damage finishes, compromise structural integrity, and even worsen stains. With softwashing, we use a gentler approach, which not only protects the cladding but also delivers superior results that last longer.
