If we are being completely honest, no one looks forward to cleaning the patio. We do not wake up on the weekends, after a tough week in the office, and immediately look for a wire brush.
We all love relaxing with friends over a BBQ, but patio cleaning is no one’s favourite task. The frequency with which this task needs to be completed can really grind too. Slippery and unsightly weeds, mosses, lichen, and fungi can persist and return just days after cleaning, or even after a professional high pressure wash (which incidentally may damage the stones over time), because the root systems of the infectants are deep and tenacious. Softwashing is designed to remove these growths and leave a patio spic and span, perfect for your BBQ, party, or relaxing in the sunshine! We are proud of our pation cleaning services.
Our softwashing patio service is far more effective than DIY. The cleansing system we use is designed to clean the surface, and penetrate into the porous sub-surface, sanitising in the cracks and gaps between the slabs. We can also replace sand between slabs with sterile kiln dried sand when this has been blown away or removed by high pressure washing, which further inhibits the regrowth of moss and weeds. High pressure washing often removes sand between slabs, leaving to loose blocks, and increasing the chance of weed growth.
It is important to keep the regrowth of the infectants down to an absolute minimum. To do this we will investigate and analyse the organic, atmospheric growths. We will then cordon and protect any green or vegetative borders that may be impacted by our initial detergent treatments. We will remove obvious growth and stains, and use our softwash treatment to prevent their recurrence, with no need of re-sanding.. Our satisfaction is in seeing prim again patio slabs, leaving you free to enjoy the summer on your patio!

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.
Patios are a popular feature in UK homes, offering outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining. However, over time, patios can become discoloured and slippery due to algae, moss, lichen, and general grime. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.
We offer professional patio cleaning using specialist soft washing technology — a safer, longer-lasting alternative to pressure washing.
Unlike pressure washing, which can damage pointing or loosen slabs, our low-pressure soft wash system uses biodegradable cleaning solutions that penetrate deep into porous surfaces. This method safely kills algae, moss, and organic growth at the root — without dislodging or eroding your patio.
Our soft washing doesn’t just make your patio look clean — it stops the problem at its source. By removing spores and biofilm, we help prevent the quick return of moss and algae, so your patio stays cleaner for longer.
We don’t just clean — we treat. Our biocidal softwash solution eliminates moss, algae, and lichen from your patio surface and joints, offering long-term protection against slippery, unsightly growth.
High-pressure methods can damage mortar and surface finishes. Our soft wash approach is gentle on stone, brick, and concrete but powerful against years of grime, restoring your patio’s appearance without the risks.
With Softwashing UK, your patio is in expert hands. Our team is fully trained, insured, and experienced in patio care — from chemical handling to appropriate softwashing methods.
Our cleaning solutions are pH neutral, biodegradable, and environmentally safe. They’re safe for pets, children, and surrounding plants when applied correctly, giving you a clean outdoor space with complete peace of mind.
We’re proud to offer a professional experience from start to finish. From your initial enquiry to final inspection, we deliver clear communication, punctuality, and high-quality results every step of the way.
