The Power of Soft Washing Biocides: How They Revolutionize Exterior Cleaning 🌿

When it comes to exterior cleaning, maintaining the aesthetics and integrity of a building is paramount. One approach that has been garnering attention is soft washing, a gentle yet effective cleaning method. At the heart of this process are soft washing biocides, key players in maintaining clean, beautiful, and long-lasting surfaces. In this article, we will delve into the significance of these biocides and how they are transforming the world of exterior cleaning.

Understanding Soft Washing and Its Benefits 🧼

Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning technique that uses a combination of water and specialized cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, mildew, and other contaminants from surfaces. The [Soft Wash Chemicals](https://www.softwashing.uk/collections/softwash-chemicals) are specifically designed to sanitize and clean without causing damage.

The Role of Biocides in Soft Washing 🔬

Biocides are crucial in the soft washing process because they kill microorganisms that cause stains, odors, and deterioration. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that might only rinse away dirt, biocides target and eradicate the root causes of surface blemishes.

  • Pure Cleaning Power: Biocides, such as the [Softwash Biocide 50% DDAC](https://www.softwashing.uk/products/soft-wash-pro-50-professional-grade-50-biocide), penetrate microbial film layers on surfaces, ensuring a deep clean.
  • Long-lasting Effects: Residual power means biocides continue to work long after application, prolonging cleanliness and reducing the frequency of maintenance. Explore Do Biocides Have Residual Power?
  • Environmentally Friendly: The degradation of biocides is harmless to the environment, making them a safer choice for both properties and nature.

The Evolution: How Biocides Have Impacted Exterior Cleaning 🏢

The integration of biocides in cleaning solutions has revolutionized the industry by offering a sustainable way to maintain buildings. They reduce damage risk by decreasing dependence on high-pressure systems.

Softwashing calculator is an indispensable tool for juggling complicated chemical mixes. It helps reduce wastage and keeps operating costs down by giving accurate proportions

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!.
- It can also remix your leftover softwash to a new stronger or weaker recipe.
- all controls in one place for see at a glance operation
- ease of input via pre-loaded dials. no more calculator style typing
- instantly responds to changes of complex combinations
- works in both Litres and US Gallons
- tested for Protan and Deutan colourblind users
- links to SoftwashingUK website

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.
If you have little knowledge of how to remix a soft wash recipe then this app is for you.
If you want to save money when mixing a soft wash recipe then this app is for you.

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.
