Softwashing Services in Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot & Llanelli
At Clean to the Core, we specialise in safe, effective softwashing — the ideal method for cleaning delicate exterior surfaces such as render, pebbledash, painted houses, roofs, walls, driveways, and fences. Softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to gently remove moss, algae, dirt, and stubborn staining without causing any damage to your property.
Softwashing delivers a deeper and longer-lasting clean than traditional pressure washing, restoring the appearance of your home or business while protecting surfaces and extending their lifespan.
We provide reliable, professional softwashing throughout Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot, Llanelli, and surrounding areas — with every job tailored to your property’s unique needs.
What is Softwashing?
Softwashing is a low-pressure cleaning method designed specifically for delicate or porous surfaces. Instead of blasting water at high pressure, the softwash solution safely breaks down organic growth at the root, preventing it from returning quickly.
This method avoids issues such as:
- Damage to render
- Water forced behind walls
- Chipped paint
- Damaged mortar or pointing
- Marked or scarred brickwork
Softwashing protects your home while delivering outstanding results.

- Render (K-Rend, Weber, monocouche, etc.)

- Painted houses
