Softwashing is one of the most effective and gentle methods for cleaning concrete surfaces, delivering a thorough clean without the risks associated with high-pressure washing. Whether you need to clean concrete facades, slabs, driveways, or patios, Softwashing UK is your trusted partner for safe, efficient, and long-lasting concrete cleaning.
Why Choose Softwashing for Concrete Cleaning?
Concrete surfaces can accumulate significant dirt, grime, mildew, and algae over time, which requires careful cleaning to avoid damage. While high-pressure washing can sometimes be effective, it carries significant risks, including surface erosion and damage to surrounding landscapes and delicate materials. At Softwashing UK, we use softwashing techniques that ensure a deep clean without the high-pressure risks. Softwashing uses low pressure, biodegradable cleaning solutions to remove bacteria, fungi, and surface contaminants while protecting the integrity of the concrete.
Benefits of Softwashing for Concrete Cleaning:
Gentle Yet Effective: Softwashing effectively removes stains, mildew, and organic growth, while maintaining the structural integrity of the concrete.
Cost-Effective: Unlike high-pressure washing, softwashing requires minimal water usage and reduces the risk of costly damage to your concrete surfaces and surrounding areas.
Long-Lasting Results: Our softwashing solution penetrates deeply, offering longer-lasting results compared to traditional cleaning methods that only remove surface stains.
Safe for Surroundings: Unlike high-pressure cleaning, our method doesn’t risk damaging surrounding garden areas, plants, or delicate materials.
The Softwashing Process for Concrete Cleaning:
At Softwashing UK, we tailor each concrete cleaning service to suit the specific type of concrete and its condition. Here’s what you can expect from our concrete cleaning process:
Risk Assessment & Surface Preparation: We conduct a thorough risk assessment to ensure your property is fully protected during the cleaning process. This includes cleaning and preparing flat surfaces using blowers or brooms to remove loose debris.
Surface Treatment: For untreated concrete, a light softwash solution will typically remove mildew and organic growth. Coated surfaces may require additional preparatory work to ensure effective cleaning. We take extra care when cleaning concrete exposed to high temperatures, such as those in industrial settings, and cool the surface if necessary.
Special Treatments: For specific issues like rust stains or chewing gum removal, we use manual brushing or targeted softwashing solutions. Our eco-friendly, antibacterial, and fungicidal cleaning products work effectively to eliminate stains and harmful contaminants without damaging your concrete.
Protecting Borders and Landscaping: We take precautions to protect surrounding areas such as windows, trim, and landscaping. All borders are safeguarded before applying our softwash solutions to ensure no damage occurs during the cleaning process.
Minimal Pressure, Maximum Results: Our softwashing system uses the lowest pressure necessary to achieve exceptional cleaning results while protecting your concrete surfaces.
Eco-Friendly Concrete Cleaning
All of our cleaning solutions are 100% biodegradable, safe for the environment, and gentle on the surfaces being cleaned. We aim to provide high-quality results while ensuring that our methods have minimal impact on the environment and surrounding areas.
Types of Concrete Surfaces We Clean:
Untreated Concrete: Ideal for a light softwash treatment to remove mildew, algae, and staining.
Epoxy-Coated Concrete: Requires additional steps to ensure coatings are not damaged during cleaning.
Industrial Concrete: Surfaces exposed to higher temperatures, oils, or grease will require special preparation and tailored cleaning solutions.

Concrete is a fundamental material in commercial environments — from walls and pathways to car parks, loading bays, and forecourts. Over time, these surfaces accumulate grime, algae, moss, oil stains, tyre marks, and pollution buildup. Left untreated, this not only affects appearance but can also create slip hazards and lead to surface degradation. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.
We provide professional concrete cleaning using our advanced soft wash technology — a safe, effective, and long-lasting alternative to high-pressure washing.
1. Safe, Non-Damaging Soft Wash Technology
High-pressure jets can etch or weaken concrete over time. Our low-pressure softwash system, combined with powerful biodegradable agents, removes deep-set grime without damaging the surface.
2. Remove Oil, Algae, Moss, and Surface Contaminants
We treat the surface with specialist biocides and degreasers to lift stubborn stains, organic growth, and industrial grime. This includes moss, algae, lichen, oil patches, tyre marks, and environmental pollution.
3. Improve Safety with Slip-Prevention Cleaning
Algae and moss on concrete walkways or loading zones pose a serious slip hazard, especially when wet. Our cleaning removes these risks and helps maintain compliance with health & safety standards.
4. Extend the Life of Your Concrete Surfaces
Contaminant buildup can accelerate wear and surface erosion. Regular softwash cleaning protects and preserves your concrete, reducing repair costs and extending usable life.
5. Fully Trained & Insured Commercial Technicians
Our team is highly trained in softwash systems, surface care, and commercial site safety. We’re fully insured and experienced in working across sectors including retail, logistics, education, and healthcare.
6. Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions
Our cleaning agents are biodegradable, pH-neutral, and environmentally safe. They’re suitable for use around people, landscaping, and drainage systems — no toxic runoff, no disruption.
7. Minimal Disruption to Your Operations
We offer flexible scheduling to suit your business, including early mornings, weekends, or planned shutdown periods. Our efficient, quiet methods ensure minimal impact on daily operations.
8. Restore a Clean, Professional Look
A clean concrete surface enhances your property’s image, reinforces professionalism, and creates a welcoming environment for clients, staff, and visitors.

We’ve used Softwashing a number of times over the past few years to clean the exterior of our house, gutters and patio. Every time it has been a fantastic service, always going above and beyond, whether it’s attacking a stubborn rust stain or taking time to explain the process. We have recommended them to friends and neighbours and using them every year is testament to how happy we are with the work they do. Thanks! Andrew Covell2025-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service was great, Gavin arrived on the dot of eight o’clock and he then talked me through the process before starting. He worked diligently using a range of different techniques to address the various issues. At the end the render looked like new! Would definitely recommend and will have them back again when it needs doing again! Peter Grant2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a director of and on behalf of Wardour Court Management Company and residents I wish to record our thanks to Gavin and his team. The property is a sensitive building constructed of Chilmark stone, it had not been cleaned for some time and was looking the worse for wear. They were all extremely efficient and professional as well as very pleasant and easy to talk to despite the difficulties they encountered, which included having to work 17 hours on one of the days. All the residents I have spoken to have expressed how pleased they are with the result, as are the directors of Wardour Court Management Co. We would happily use this company again and are equally happy to recommend them to others. Ann Grant Jewellery2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gavin and his team recently cleaned the Chilmark stone courtyard mews where I live. The stone was in dire need of cleaning and proved to be a very difficult job including one 17 hour day. Despite the difficulties he and his team remained pleasant, friendly and very professional leaving us with what I can only describe as a transformation ... our ugly duckling has become a swan. I can't thank them enough for their dedication and would happily recommend him and his company. City Stays sw Ltd2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of our properties, which is a rental, was a complete eye sore on the exterior surfaces, which needed rectifying before it was able to go back on the rental market. After ringing around different companies, Softwashing UK stood out and understood our requirements. Softwashing UK Soft wash cleaned 15 years' worth of bad organic staining from our K-Rend render, brickwork, and all rain water goods to the property. We honestly could not believe the results that were achieved. The render now looks like the day we had it rendered. On the day of the work ne carried out, the guys turned up on time and carried out the job respectfully and professionally. It's great to see good tradesmen still exist. We highly recommend the soft wash service they offer, and we will be sure to recommend Softwashing UK our friends and family's.
