ABOUT
BACKGROUND
With over 25 years experience in the exterior cleaning industry, we know that customers are broadly happy with the cleaning results achieved with pressure washing. What they don't like is the damage it can sometimes cause and the mess it leaves. We looked for an alternative and found soft washing: using biocidal solutions that dissolve stains instead of blasting them away. None of the products on the market gave good enough results for us, so we developed our own.
THE SMART SOFTWASH DIFFERENCE
Our strong yet gentle Smart Softwashes dissolve organic stains within thirty minutes without damaging the surface being cleaned. The staining can then be simply hosed away. No cracked render, no dislodged mortar or block paving sand - and the outstanding results last up to 5 times longer than you get with pressure washing. Our solutions carrying on working long after application. They penetrate surfaces on a microscopic level. protecting them and inhibiting the re-growth of lichen, algae, moss and so on.

YOUR GUIDE TO SMART SOFTWASHING
HEALTH & SAFETY
We want you to be safe at all times. Like other powerful household cleaners, our products should be handled with care and kept out of reach of children. When using our Smart Softwashes, we recommend that you wear suitable gloves, goggles, overalls, a mask and Wellington boots. Everything but the wellies is in our Smart Safety Gear pack, available here in our store.
APPLICATION METHODS
WHICHEVER METHOD YOU USE, DECANT THE SOFTWASH SOLUTION INTO THE CONTAINER CAREFULLY USING A SUITABLE FUNNEL.
FOR SMALLER PATHS, PATIOS & DRIVEWAYS. Use a suitable watering can (do not use at height).
FOR SMALL & INACCESSIBLE AREAS Use a chemical-resistant spray bottle (available in our store).
GETTING THE BEST RESULTS
LEAVE SOFTWASH ON THE SURFACE FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. If the surface dries quickly, dampen slighly with a light spray of water.
WORK THE SOFTWASH INTO HEAVILY SOILED AREAS WITH A STIFF BROOM. A light scrubbing is all that's required to help the softwash penetrate stainining.
USE A GARDEN HOUSE TO THOROUGHLY RINSE THE AREA. Set the nozzle to spray, not jet, to avoid splash back. Re-apply Smart Softwash to stubborn areas as necessary.
GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
You'll find specific directions and precautions on the rear label of each Smart Softwash pack.
GROUND LEVEL CLEANING:
Check all equipment is safe and ready to use, no leaks or damages.

Remove or cover all pots, plants, ornaments and foliage.
Add solution to applicator (either low pressure sprayer or watering can) and place on a soiled or protected area (in case of spillages)
Saturate area and allow to dwell for up to 30mins before rinsing.
For stubborn stains or heavy soiling, agitate with a stiff broom or brush. Re-apply if necessary.
In hot conditions slightly dampen area, do not saturate or leave standing water as this will dilute the solution.
Apply Smart Softwash to area and keep damp with light spray if the surface is drying too quickly.
If rain is expected, Smart Softwash cleansers can be used up to 1 hour before it falls (rain will aid rinsing)
Be careful to avoid splashback whilst rinsing.

Like most household cleaners, our products can discolour clothing if it is not protected.
