What's the fastest and least expensive way to learn about soft washing render? (video)

Would a fully illustrated, step-by-step guide to practical soft washing make a difference to your business?

For many contractors, the hardest part of soft washing isn’t buying equipment — it’s understanding how and why the system works, and how to apply it correctly on real jobs.

That’s exactly why we created the Benz Soft-Washing How-To Manual: a printed, van-friendly paperback designed to explain soft washing clearly, practically, and without fluff.

The manual is written in plain English and backed up with real photographs showing soft washing in action — not diagrams, not stock images, and not theory for theory’s sake.

It’s based on years of hands-on experience, trial and error, and real-world jobs carried out across Ireland and the UK.

What’s inside the Benz Soft-Washing Manual?

The manual starts with the fundamentals of soft washing, then moves into step-by-step techniques for cleaning render using professional softwash systems.

Each process is supported by before-and-after photographs so you can see exactly what’s happening at each stage — making it easy to understand whether you’re completely new to soft washing or looking to sharpen your technique.

While the primary focus is render, the principles covered apply equally to:

• paths and patios

• driveways and concrete

• brickwork and blockwork

• tarmac and play areas

• tennis courts, roofs, and more

From theory to real-world application

This isn’t a theory book.

It’s a practical field manual designed to live in your van and be referenced on site.

The guide explains how the Benz Clean & Maintain softwash approach works in practice — using two professional biocide products approved for use in Ireland and the UK — to first clean surfaces and then keep them cleaner for longer.

Used correctly, this approach allows contractors to offer long-term results, not just short-term cosmetic improvement.

Understanding the equipment matters too

Good results don’t come from chemicals alone — they come from understanding how your application system works.

That’s why we’re also expanding our free educational content, including a new deep-dive video explaining how a softwash backpack system works, using the Zap-Pack as an example.

The video breaks down:

• how the pump, battery, and flow rate work together

• why low-pressure delivery matters

• where backpack systems fit compared to larger softwash setups

Used alongside the manual, this gives contractors a clearer picture of both the method and the tools behind professional soft washing.

Health, safety, and compliance (the unglamorous but essential part)

Health & Safety isn’t exciting — but it is unavoidable.

H&S inspectors have the authority to shut down non-compliant businesses, which is why the manual includes essential guidance on:

• safe working practices

• chemical handling

• technical product information

• compliance requirements for professional soft washing

It’s not the most thrilling section — but it is one of the most important.

So, in short…

If you want to understand softwashing properly, apply it with confidence, and avoid learning the hard way through costly mistakes, the Benz Soft-Washing How-To Manual gives you a solid foundation — backed up by practical guidance and real-world experience.

And with supporting videos now available alongside it, learning how softwash systems actually work has never been clearer.

Tl helpful and sincerely wish you great success in your soft washing business,
