Soft Washing
Soft Washing is an essential cleaning system for treating roofs with organic growth such as algae, mould, mildew and lichen. Unlike pressure washing, soft washing uses a low-pressure flow to spread specially formulated cleaning agents that penetrate and eliminate organic growth at its root.
This method is gentle on roofing materials and avoids damage caused by high-pressure systems.
Key Features:
- Low-Pressure
- Specialised nozzles to adjust spray angles.
- Pump box to pump the solution- did you know? Our Pump Box has a dual-entry port option, which allows two operators to use it simultaneously!
A good soft wash system will let you operate safely from the ground. Our innovative stop/start univalve provides complete flow control during cleaning. The Soft Wash system ensures a safe cleaning solution for various roof types, including shingles, metal, and tiles.

Chemicals and biocides
In addition to your equipment, you might need roof cleaning chemicals and biocides. These are necessary for soft-washing and treating roofs post-cleaning to prevent regrowth of moss, algae, and lichen.
It’s important to choose biodegradable, environmentally safe chemicals that won’t damage the roof or surrounding plants and wildlife. Many biocides are designed to provide long-lasting effects even after cleaning, ensuring persistent results.
Our Soft Wash Biocide Pro is available on our website.

Why roof and gutter cleaning go hand in hand
After your roof cleaning, you may notice that the moss and algae you removed have ended up in your customer’s gutter. To leave the property spotless, you may need a gutter vacuum to clear the gutter and help remove dirt from your customer’s patio or driveway.
Health and Safety on the job
Cleaning a roof involves risks, so it’s essential to have the proper safety gear:
- Hard hats and eye protection to protect you from any falling debris or chemical spray
- Gloves for handling chemicals and cleaning equipment
- Hi-vis will defend you when you’re working in low-light conditions or near traffic
- Waterproofs- not necessarily essential, but waterproofs will keep you warm and dry!
In conclusion, the right combination of high-quality equipment not only makes your job easier but also boosts your business’s reputation and client satisfaction!
