Pressure Cleaning and House Washing Mackay | Hotwash Mackay

Softwash Mackay. Professional
Low Pressure Chemical Cleaning

Softwash is the professional standard for cleaning roofs, rendered walls, painted surfaces and other delicate exteriors where high-pressure water would cause damage. Rather than relying on pressure alone, softwash uses low pressure delivery of professiona lgrade biodegradable cleaning solutions to kill organic growth at the source and rinse it away safely. The results last longer, look better and protect your surfaces  and when combined with a pressure clean, you get the best of both worlds.

What Is Softwash?

Softwash was developed specifically to address the limitations of pressure washing on sensitive surfaces. Pressure alone cannot kill lichen, moss and algae.  It disturbs them temporarilybut regrowth occurs quickly because the root system remains intact. Softwash chemicals penetrate and neutralise biological growth at its source meaning the surface stays clean for significantly longer. At Hotwash Mackay we use softwash as a post-treatment following a pressure clean, delivering the immediate visual result of mechanical cleaning with the lasting protection of a chemical treatment.
