Older brick and stone properties in Greater London need gentle low-pressure cleaning, as soft bricks and lime mortar are easily damaged by high pressure.

What chemicals are used in soft washing?

Most soft wash solutions are based on sodium hypochlorite, the active ingredient in bleach, diluted to a strength that suits the surface, with a surfactant to help it cling. Some jobs use quaternary ammonium biocides instead, which work more slowly over days or weeks and are often used on roofs and delicate stone. The solution is matched to the surface and the type of staining.

  • Move cars, furniture and pots away from the walls and keep pets indoors on the day
  • Take photos of each side of the property, the roof and any outbuildings you want cleaned
  • Note the type of surface, such as silicone render, painted render, brick, stone or concrete tiles
  • Ask which product will be used on your surface and request the safety data sheet
  • Confirm the work will be done at low pressure, not with a pressure washer on render or roofs
