Rendered walls are extremely common in modern housing estates across Limerick and Clare, and they're particularly prone to green algae and black streaking in our damp Irish climate. Unlike power washing, which can damage render, crack surfaces, and force water into walls, soft washing uses low-pressure application of a specialist cleaning solution that kills organic growth at the root. This means results that last significantly longer, with no risk of damage to your exterior finish — making it the professional's choice for rendered homes in Limerick.

Soft washing uses low water pressure combined with specialist biodegradable cleaning solutions to kill and remove organic growth like algae, moss, and mildew. Power washing relies on high pressure to blast dirt off surfaces. For rendered walls, painted surfaces, and older properties, soft washing is far safer and produces longer-lasting results.
Yes — soft washing is specifically designed for rendered walls and delicate exterior surfaces. High-pressure washing can crack or dislodge render, but soft washing applies the cleaning solution gently and rinses at low pressure, causing no damage to the surface.
Because soft washing kills organic growth at the root rather than just removing visible surface growth, results typically last 2–4 years in Limerick's climate. Our Refresh bundle comes with a 6-month green-free guarantee, and our Restart bundle with 12 months.
We use biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning solutions and always rinse surrounding vegetation before and after treatment. Soft washing products are designed to break down quickly in the environment — but we take precautions to protect your garden regardless.
Soft washing works excellently on rendered walls, painted brick, PVC fascia and soffits, conservatory roofs, garden walls, and driveways with delicate stone. It's the preferred method for any surface where high pressure would risk damage.
