At Atlantic Clean, we love a satisfying transformation – and our recent full softwash clean on a painted sand and cement render property in Cornwall delivered just that. Covered in algae stains from months of coastal exposure, the building’s exterior was looking dull, tired, and far from its best.
A few hours later? It was practically glowing.
This is the power of professional softwashing – a gentle yet highly effective method that brings stained surfaces back to life without harsh pressure or damage.
🌿 Why Softwash for Painted Render?
Painted sand and cement render is common throughout Cornwall, but it’s also prone to:
- Algae and lichen staining
- Salt spray build-up
- Dirt from stormy coastal winds
Pressure washing might seem like the answer – but it can strip paint, damage surfaces, and leave patchy results. That’s where softwashing shines:
✅ Low-pressure application ✅ Specialist cleaning agents break down algae and biofilms
✅ Post-treated with HSE-approved biocide to kill spores and delay regrowth
✅ Safe on paint, eco-conscious, and long-lasting
🧽 The Atlantic Clean Process
Here’s what went into this satisfying transformation:
- Pre-Inspection – We checked the surface for damage, cracks, and vulnerable areas.
- Application of Softwash Solution – Using low-pressure equipment, we applied a tailored mix of biodegradable cleaners.
- Dwell Time – We let the solution work into the algae and stains naturally.
- Gentle Rinse – With minimal water pressure, we rinsed the surface clean.
- Biocide Treatment – An eco-safe post-treatment to keep spores at bay and the render cleaner for longer.
The result? A clean, uniform finish with no damage, no paint loss, and a finish that looks like it was freshly painted.
