Our Softwashing Process
Inspect the Exterior Surfaces
We begin by inspecting the areas to be cleaned and identifying the type and level of contamination. This helps determine the most suitable softwashing method for the property.
Select the Appropriate Cleaning Method
The cleaning approach is selected according to the surface material, condition, level of organic growth, accessibility and surrounding environment.
Protect Surrounding Areas
Where necessary, surrounding surfaces, plants, windows, doors and other areas are considered and protected before cleaning begins.
Apply Suitable Cleaning Solution
A suitable cleaning solution is applied to the affected surface to help break down algae, moss, mould, lichen and other organic contamination.
Allow Solution To Work
The cleaning solution is given suitable contact time to work on the contamination. This helps loosen established organic growth without relying on high pressure cleaning.
Rinse & Final Inspection
Once cleaning is complete, the surface is rinsed and inspected to check the results. The surrounding work area is then left tidy.

About Crieff
Crieff ( ; Scottish Gaelic: Craoibh, meaning "tree") is a Scottish market town in Perth and Kinross on the A85 road between Perth and Crianlarich, and the A822 between Greenloaning and Aberfeldy. The A822 joins the A823 to Dunfermline. It had a population of 7,142 in 2022. Crieff has become a hub for tourism, famous for whisky and its history of cattle droving. Attractions include the Caithness Glass Visitor Centre, Crieff Hydro Hotel and Glenturret Distillery. The nearby Innerpeffray Library (founded about 1680) is Scotland's oldest lending library. St Mary's Chapel beside it dates from 1508.
Crieff has a varied built environment, with traditional properties and established housing alongside terraced, semi-detached and detached homes, flats, newer housing developments and commercial or managed premises. Local areas and nearby communities include Crieff, Hosh, Gilmerton, Mains of Callander, Milton of Cultoquhey, Monzie, Muthill, Milton of Abercairny, Caerlaverock, Knappilands, New Fowlis, Ladyston, Fowlis Wester, Drumness, Fendoch, Kinkell Bridge, St Davids, Madderty, Dalginross, Comrie, Gorthy, Tullibardine.
The wider area includes a mixture of green spaces, countryside and outdoor areas, with local parks, waterways, farmland, woodland or other geographical features contributing to the character of the surrounding landscape. The local character reflects a combination of established communities, residential areas, local businesses and surrounding countryside, with the balance varying between the built-up parts of Crieff and the nearby settlements.
Like much of Scotland, outdoor surfaces in Crieff are exposed to changing weather throughout the year, including rain, damp conditions, wind and periods of colder weather. Patios, driveways, paths, walls, decking and other external surfaces can therefore accumulate dirt, algae, moss, lichen and weather-related staining. Professional exterior cleaning can help keep suitable outdoor surfaces cleaner and better maintained throughout the year.

Crieff Softwashing FAQ
How much does softwashing cost in Crieff?
The cost of softwashing in Crieff depends on the size of the property, the surfaces being cleaned, their condition and the amount of algae, moss, mould or staining present. We provide free, no-obligation quotes based on the individual property.
What is softwashing and is it suitable for Crieff properties?
Softwashing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method that uses suitable cleaning solutions to help break down organic contamination such as algae, moss, mould and lichen. It can be suitable for many Crieff properties, including homes with render, roughcast, roofs, walls and other exterior surfaces.
What surfaces can you softwash in Crieff?
We can softwash a range of suitable exterior surfaces, including render, roughcast, brickwork, walls, roofs, UPVC, cladding and other external areas. The cleaning method is selected according to the surface material and condition.
Can softwashing remove green algae and black staining?
Yes. Softwashing can help break down algae, organic growth and surface staining that commonly develops on exterior surfaces. Properties in damp or shaded areas of Crieff can be particularly susceptible to this type of contamination.
Can you softwash render and roughcast in Crieff?
Yes. Softwashing can be suitable for many render and roughcast surfaces where a controlled, lower-pressure cleaning method is preferred. We assess the condition of the surface before deciding on the most appropriate cleaning approach.
Is softwashing better than pressure washing?
Neither method is suitable for every surface. Softwashing can be preferable where organic contamination needs to be treated without relying on high-pressure water. We select the cleaning method according to the surface and its condition.
Can you softwash commercial properties in Crieff?
How often should a property in Crieff be softwashed?
There is no fixed schedule because properties become contaminated at different rates. Factors such as exposure, shading, moisture, surrounding trees and the type of exterior surface can all affect how often cleaning is required.

Softwashing solutions can help break down organic growth such as moss and lichen. Where growth is heavy or established, additional manual cleaning may also be required depending on the surface.
