The Green Side of Soft Washing 👩‍🔬🌍: The Low-Down on Environmental Efficacy

The Dichotomy Between House Cleaning and Environmental Safeguarding 👁

In a world that spins even faster every day, finding effective and efficient ways to clean homes and buildings is becoming increasingly significant 💰. We value spotless driveways and pristine roofs, but what cost does this hold for our environment 🌍? Enter soft washing, a cleaning method that merges potency with eco-friendly practices. In this blog post, we'll delve into the green side of soft washing and its environmental efficacy.

An Eco-Friendly Cleaning Method 🌿

Soft washing stands contrasted to its counterpart, pressure washing. The latter involves high pressure systems that can damage surfaces and contribute to water wastage 🚿. Softwashing versus pressure washing podcast goes into detail about how the soft washing technique uses less water, drastically reducing its environmental impact.

Examples of Soft Washing in Action 🏠

Do you have an unsightly rusty stain on your exterior wall? The solution is not a bucket of water and high-pressure hose, but a mixture of Rust X Pro Render Rust Stain Remover applied via a water fed pole softwash nozzle. This method swiftly and efficiently removes stains without damaging the surface or wasting water.

Are they an Environmental Hazard? ☣️

One question frequently asked is: "Isn't using chemicals bad for the environment?" The answer is not quite so straightforward. Yes, most chemicals pose a threat to the environment when misused or overused. However, Sodium Hypochlorite,, a primary chemical in Soft Wash, when applied correctly, is a safe and effective cleaning agent. A handy sodium hypochlorite mixing guide can help you prepare the right concentration.

Protecting Yourself and Your Environment 👷

If you are having difficulty getting your head around the maths, trying to work out what percentage of softwash you need, how much chemical, surfactant and water to add, then this is the App for you.

The Soft Wash Calculator App allows you to work out your soft wash recipe by telling you exactly how much chemical, how much water and how much surfactant to add to get the desired soft wash recipe.
It doesn't stop there!.

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.

This app is also backward compatible to devices running iOS7. We've done this so you can re-purpose an old iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 5 for what could be hazardous work environments. Just toss one in your cleaning van's toolkit.

Once you learn the methods and procedures of how to apply the soft wash to the different surfaces that need cleaning you’ll be unstoppable!

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.
