Power Washing & Soft Washing
We provide high pressure power washing and biocide soft washing across Cork and the surrounding areas.
Surface Cleaning Solutions
Maintaining the exterior of a property in Ireland can prove difficult due to unfavourable weather condition and requires professional intervention to manage the rapid growth of algae & moss. Our professional cleaning services provide a comprehensive solution for homeowners & businesses across Cork City and the surrounding county. We use industry-leading techniques to ensure every surface is cleaned safely and effectively.
Our Cleaning Services
Our team of professionals will evaluate your project and recommend the best solution. We never use power washing as a solution for vulnerable surfaces. If you have any questions please contact us.
Power Washing
In our power washing services we only use the best equipment that uses high-pressure water to strip away stubborn grime & deep seated dirt from durable surfaces. This method is the most efficient way to restore hard landscaping that has been neglected for several years.
Soft Washing
Our soft washing approach involves manual moss removal followed by a biocide wash, ensuring moss & other growth are removed & the spores are neutralised (slowing the speed of future growth). This method will not damage your roof tiles or strip the protective layers from your wall render.
The difference between Power vs Soft Washing
Choosing the correct cleaning method depends on the durability and vulnerability of your properties materials and the type of contamination present on its surface. Using the wrong technique can lead to permanent surface damage or ineffective results.
High Pressure for Durable Surfaces
Power washing is the optimal solution for external hard & non porous materials such as concrete driveways, natural stone patios & brick boundary walls. The high-pressure water stream effectively blasts away stubborn oil stains, compacted mud and marks that a gentle wash cannot shift.
Low Pressure for Delicate Materials
Soft washing is essential for sensitive areas like roof tiles, coloured wall render and timber decking where high pressure would cause cracking or erosion. This method relies on specialised biocides to do the cleaning work rather than force, maintaining surface integrity.
Targeted Solutions for Organic Growth
If your primary issue is the presence of moss, lichen or red & green algae, soft washing is the best long-term solution. While power washing removes the visible growth, soft washing neutralises the root system & spores, providing a finish that lasts significantly longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Is soft washing safe for my garden plants?
Yes. We pre-wet all surrounding vegetation & rinse everything thoroughly after the biocide application to ensure your garden remains protected.
How long does a biocide treatment last?
A professional soft wash treatment typically keeps surfaces clear of red and green algae for twelve to twenty-four months depending on the property location.
Will power washing damage my driveway?
Do I need to be home during the cleaning process?
As long as we have access to an external water tap and the areas needing cleaning, you do not need to be present at the property.
Is power washing effective for oil stains?
High-pressure washing combined with specific degreasers can significantly reduce the appearance of oil stains on concrete and brickwork. Our experts will evaluate and determine the best approach for each specific project.
