EXTERIOR HOUSE CLEANING
Exterior house cleaning, also known as softwashing, we call it a Housewash, is a process of cleaning the exterior of your home without the use of harsh pressure washers. Instead we gently apply chemicals to remove all red, orange, black and green discolouration from your home.
Your property will look like it’s just been painted for a fraction of the cost. Contact us today for your FREE quote!
What is a Housewash?
A Housewash is a revolutionary external cleaning chemical solution for cleaning buildings and exteriors, of algae, lichen, fungi, moss and mould without potentially damaging high-pressure techniques. It is much more beneficial than pressure washing as it has longer lasting results, uses less water, has little or no noise and is more cost effective. It is safe for all types of building materials and causes no damage to the surface. It also kills the spores left behind by pressure washing.
The Housewash Process
First we clear the inside of the gutters of all leaf and moss debris using a state of the art Nilfisk gutter vacuum. There is a camera attached to the suction point so that we can see what we are doing and show you the results!
Then we apply the Housewash to the render and to all the gutters, soffits, fascias, downpipes, window frames and doors etc.. If you have a conservatory, this will be cleaned in the same process. Then we let the mixture to soak in.
Next, we rinse all the uPVC with clean water and inspect it. We may then need to apply a specific uPVC cleaner and then rinse down. We then inspect the entire building. Some houses with a heavy staining will require an additional coat throughout, some may just need some local treatment.
If a final inspection passes muster, we then rinse and again clean all the windows and glass with pure water.
