Auckland House Washing questions.
In order to clean your home safely, The SoftWash Company’s Auckland house washing team will use a method of pressure washing called softwashing, this is a pressure washing service on a lower setting that ensures the safety of your home and surrounding plants and garden while still effectively removing and cleaning anything in the way.
Like all New Zealand Based House Washing Businesses, we use Sodium Hydrochloride (Liquid Chlorine/”Bleach”) along with a Bio-degradeable House Wash Mix which works as a surfactant.
We treat every house differently. Our technicians will evaluate the condition of your home, and then mix the detergent onsite. Our detergent is biodegradable, safe to human, pets, and plants, and proven to be effective.
If you are not a fan of Bleach, that’s fine! Unfortunately we will not be able to provide you with a SoftWash Service as this is the only reason we can provide a SoftWash in a way that does not harm your property with high pressure, along with being able to do it in a time-effective manner.

Depending on the Quality of your Joinery, Water Ingress can happen with a Home SoftWashed. Although we do everything we can to prevent this, in order to provide a great exterior finish sometimes some water will come in. Unfortunately as the age and quality is outside of our control, we are unable to provide a guarantee or the like that no water will come inside. This is why we suggest placing old towels near these places, especially if you have not had your Home SoftWash Before and may not know where the leak points may be when a SoftWash Occurs.
Due to the amount of risk, we do not clean any Cedar Homes. We suggest contacting a Cedar Maintenance Specialist in order to get your Cedar Home Washed.
