At Softwashing UK, we have successfully used the Doff Steam cleaning system to restore and clean hundreds of buildings and monuments across the UK.
Known for its exceptional results, Doff Steam cleaning is the benchmark for stone substrate cleaning and restoration. Used to maintain some of the UK’s most historic buildings, Doff is the ideal solution for delicate and tough cleaning tasks alike.
Highly recommended for many restoration projects, Doff uses high temperatures that often eliminate the need for chemical treatments, providing an eco-friendly and effective solution.
The Doff Steam cleaning system heats water to temperatures of up to 150 degrees Celsius. At these high temperatures, it effectively eradicates organic growths such as moss, algae, lichen, and fungi. Doff can also remove paint and graffiti, eliminating the need for harsh chemical cleaners in many cases. The high heat targets and kills organic growth at its root system, ensuring more thorough and lasting results.
Unlike traditional pressure washing that relies on high pressure to force contamination off surfaces, Doff uses steam generated at 150°C. This method uses heat rather than raw power to clean. The steam is discharged at low pressure, in small amounts, allowing surfaces to dry quickly. This combination of heat and low pressure reduces the risk of damage and often eliminates the need for chemical cleaning treatments, making it a gentler and more eco-friendly option for restoration.
Doff is incredibly versatile and can be used on a wide variety of substrates. It is ideal for stone, ceramic tiles, concrete, and wood, making it a great choice for both outdoor and indoor cleaning. Doff is particularly effective for cleaning and restoring render surfaces, though it is always advisable to consult with us before using Doff on certain render types to ensure it is suitable.
One of the main benefits of Doff Steam cleaning is its eco-friendly nature. Since no chemicals are used, there is no need to collect or segregate run-off water. The steam-based system is safe to allow to flow back into the environment, making it a highly sustainable cleaning method. In addition, Doff is energy and water-efficient, using minimal resources while delivering powerful results.

Stone, brick, render, and other delicate surfaces on commercial buildings can become tarnished by pollution, algae, moss, graffiti, paint, and general weathering. Cleaning these materials requires care — especially for heritage sites or fragile façades. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.
We provide professional DOFF steam cleaning — a highly effective, low-impact method using superheated water to remove grime, biological growth, and coatings without damage.
The DOFF system uses high-temperature steam (up to 150°C) at low pressure, making it ideal for sensitive materials. It removes dirt, paint, and organic growth without harming the substrate, making it perfect for heritage and listed buildings.
Unlike other methods, DOFF cleaning often requires no chemical use. The intense heat alone kills moss, algae, and fungi spores, offering a natural and eco-conscious solution for building restoration and maintenance.
DOFF is ideal for removing graffiti, oil stains, chewing gum, bitumen, bird fouling, paint, biological growth, and general soiling — even from intricate or porous surfaces like stone carvings and decorative brickwork.
Because it uses steam rather than high pressure or harsh chemicals, DOFF cleaning prevents damage to mortar joints, stonework, render, and brick. It’s widely approved by heritage and conservation authorities.
Our team is fully trained in DOFF operation, surface sensitivity, and conservation best practices. We’re experienced with both modern and historic commercial properties — from office blocks to churches and period architecture.
With little water usage and no need for chemical agents, DOFF is a sustainable choice. Run-off is minimal and safe, making it ideal for urban areas, schools, retail spaces, and environmentally sensitive zones.
We plan our work around your operational hours — early mornings, evenings, or weekends — to ensure minimal interference with staff, tenants, or customers. Cleanliness without compromise.
DOFF cleaning restores masonry, render, and natural stone to their original appearance — brightening your building façade, enhancing curb appeal, and reflecting positively on your business.
We provide professional concrete cleaning using our advanced soft wash technology — a safe, effective, and long-lasting alternative to high-pressure washing.
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.
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.
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.
Contaminant buildup can accelerate wear and surface erosion. Regular softwash cleaning protects and preserves your concrete, reducing repair costs and extending usable life.
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.
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.
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.
A clean concrete surface enhances your property’s image, reinforces professionalism, and creates a welcoming environment for clients, staff, and visitors.
