Soft Washing and Its Environmental Impact: What You Need to Know 🌍

Soft washing is becoming an increasingly popular method of gently and thoroughly cleaning home exteriors. However, with this rise in popularity, there's one question that has become common among homeowners and environmentally concerned individuals-"What is the environmental impact of soft washing?" In this article, we're deciphering this issue, laying down all information on how soft washing interacts with our environment and how you can contribute to eco-friendly cleaning practices.What Is Soft Washing?

Understanding Soft Washing 🧐

Soft washing is an efficient way of cleaning exterior surfaces such as roofing tiles, sidings, patios, and driveways. Unlike pressure washing, it utilises low-pressure plans and special cleaning solutions for scrubbing off grime, moss, and mildew. This gives you a deep clean without risking any damage to your property's surfaces. SoftWash UK Ltdoffers all necessary Soft Washing Equipmentto ensure proper soft washing and optimum results.

The Environmental Perspective of Soft Washing 🌳

One major concern undoubtedly revolves around the chemicals used in soft washing. These solutions often include compounds such as Sodium Hypochlorite, an effective mould and mildew killer. But does it harm our environment? The good news is it breaks down into salt and water, causing no harm to the eco-system. With the Sodium Hypochlorite Mixing Guide, you can learn more about proportionate use of these chemicals while limiting their footprint.

Environment-Friendly Soft Washing Practices 🌱

While soft washing doesn't inherently harm the environment, certain practices can contribute to more eco-friendly cleaning. Consider products like Clever Wash Surfactant and Safewash Super Concentrate Cleaner, specially designed to be tough on dirt but gentle on the environment. Moreover, ensuring that run-off from washing doesn't get into water streams directly contributes to protecting local flora and fauna.

Take this scenario
You started with a 1% soft wash recipe of 50 gal (or litres) for a deck clean and you’re left with 13 gallons.

You get a call from a prospective customer to clean their roof. Past experience tells you a 4% soft wash recipe is needed, but what about your leftover mix at 1%?.

Do you waste time and effort driving back to base to transfer into a standby tank?
You could consider the 13 gal as just water, top up the tank and start again.
But that’s throwing away the value of the mix and raising your overhead.

Soft Wash Calculator App to the rescue.

You get to the new job and it requires 100 gal / litres.
Switch into remix mode , confirming the 13 gal already in the tank
Move the dials to your new recipe and the app immediately updates the different amounts to add in front of your eyes including the correct amount of extra surfactant.

You now have a 100 gal / litres tank of 4% soft wash recipe ready for your roof clean job!

Not forgetting you’ve saved money too, all without stress and uncertainty . Don’t underestimate what confident calmness has on your customer putting out referrals.

The same applies if you have a 4% recipe left in your tank and you need to dilute it down to 2%. Again the app will tell you how.

Softwashing calculator will also work for any chemical recipe. For instance you can use it for Sodium Hypochlorite, Bleach, Biocide , TFR traffic film remover and degreaser. Even the mathematically-challenged rocket scientist can top up their booster tanks to new fuel mixes after launch delays caused by changing weather conditions.

Using this app you will know exactly what chemical strength to put on any surface giving you the confidence and the knowledge of a professional soft washer and you’ll save money as well.

So if you have little knowledge of how to mix a soft wash recipe then this app is for you.

The app also has a guide to what percentage for what surface. And if you are the lucky owner of a Clever Injector it will remind you the correct setting for the job.
However you should always consider and risk assess what soft wash recipe you need to clean the surface.

** A major iOS code-base change may require a re-purchase. The appiverse at the time will confirm our promise that we won't do so unless the necessity is apparent.
