Why Softwash?
It is time to treat your home to a Softwash spruce up for all those summer BBQ parties. Softwash is the original, authentic, low-pressure cleaning process. “It’s a unique system that is not harsh on your home’s exterior,” says manager Stan Wilkins. “We don’t water-blast because that can damage the paint or surface of the building, allowing water to enter the wall cavities and lead to dampness and mould.” Instead the Softwash process gently neutralises and removes the mould, algae and other grime that’s harmful to paintwork, leaving your home looking like new again. Softwash also specialises in roof treatments and gutter cleaning. Decks, patios, paths, driveways and shade sails are transformed by the Softwash treatment too. Bothered by spiders and flies and the unsightly mess they leave behind inside and outside your home? Our technicians are licensed to treat indoor and outdoor areas for flies and spiders – eliminating those unsightly cobwebs and hordes of pesky flies. Customer satisfaction is our highest priority. “We offer a fast, efficient service that’s preceded by a free quote so you know exactly what the job will cost. There are no hidden costs.”
