We've noticed considerable misinformation being published online regarding the effect of some softwash chemicals.
What happens and what does not happen when we apply softwash chemicals to a surface is vitally important for every contractor to know, particularly when soft washing the relatively delicate surface of a rendered wall.
At Benz Softwash we do our best to research the facts, truth, and reality of the chemical processes involved in soft washing.
We want our customers to have the best possible understanding of our softwash products, so they can have total confidence in using them on their customer's properties.
Watch this short video in which Ben destroys the myths surrounding the production of hydrochloric acid when Benz Lightning Cleanze is applied to a rendered wall.
(Note that the video refers to the old name of Lightning Cleanze, "Blackwash")
We hope you found this information helpful and sincerely wish you great success in your soft washing business,
Ben, Leo

Soft washing can be carried out all year round when the temperature is not freezing or near freezing. The main thing to consider is that softwash chemicals will take longer to produce their full effect in cold conditions.

It's a free resource for people wanting to learn about the soft washing industry, to expand an existing business, or build a new business.
Soft washing reduces, or even eliminates, the need to use high-pressure washing.
Instead, once the build up of algae, lichen, fungus and mould – the root causes of properties looking "dirty" – has been treated, the natural "self-cleansing" of sun, rain and wind removes the surface residue through time.
By educating the cleaning trade and public about soft washing we are helping develop an industry that offers sustainable treatments to clean and maintain exterior hard surfaces.
