Soft washing is a method of cleaning exterior surfaces such as roofs, siding, decks, and patios using a mixture of low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions.

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and grime, while soft washing uses a mixture of low-pressure water and cleaning solutions to remove dirt and stains without damaging the surface.

Soft washing can be used on a variety of exterior surfaces, including roofs, rendered walls, and weatherboards.

The time it takes for a soft wash to take effect can vary depending on the type of surface being cleaned and the severity of the dirt and stains. Generally, the cleaning solution needs to sit on the surface for a period of time (usually 10-15 minutes) in order to fully penetrate and break down the dirt and stains.

The frequency of soft washing will depend on the location and exposure of your property. On average, it is recommended to have your property soft washed once a year to maintain its appearance and prolong the lifespan of the surfaces.
