The process begins with a careful assessment of the wood surface’s condition and the extent of contamination or staining. This evaluation helps determine the appropriate course of action and involve safety measures which are paramount in soft washing. Technicians take precautions to protect themselves and the surrounding environment, which may include covering nearby plants, furniture, or structures.
A specially formulated, eco-friendly cleaning solution is prepared to break down contaminants like algae, mildew, dirt, and stains on the wood surface. This solution is gentle on the wood but highly effective. The cleaning solution is applied to the wood using a low-pressure spraying system or handheld sprayers, ensuring even coverage across the surface.
After applying the solution, it is allowed to sit on the wood surface for a specified period, typically around 10-15 minutes. During this time, it works to break down and loosen contaminants. Following the dwell time, a low-pressure water stream is used to rinse away the cleaning solution and the loosened contaminants. This step is carefully controlled to prevent any damage to the wood while ensuring thorough cleaning.
Soft washing effectively removes stubborn stains, mold, mildew, and algae from wood surfaces. The cleaning solution not only cleans the surface but also addresses the root causes of contamination. A final rinse with clean water ensures that no residue from the cleaning solution remains on the wood. This step prevents streaking and leaves the wood looking clean and refreshed.
Technicians may conduct a final inspection to ensure that the wood has been thoroughly cleaned and that no areas were missed during the soft washing process.
910 Softwash employs these methods to clean wood materials effectively while maintaining the wood’s integrity and appearance. It’s a safe, eco-friendly, and gentle approach that removes contaminants without the risk of damage often associated with high-pressure washing.
