SOFTWASH PRO – Gentle Sandstone Cleaning
Sandstone Softwash
Noticeably brighter and even finish
Gentle, low-pressure sandstone cleaning that restores colour and removes grime
Our sandstone softwash service is expertly designed to lift built-up dirt, algae, mould, and organic staining using a controlled, low-pressure method that’s safe for sandstone surfaces. This approach, similar to house softwash techniques, minimises the risk of etching and surface wear while providing a noticeably brighter, more even finish.
We specialise in soft-wash house cleaning for a wide range of sandstone features, including walls, retaining walls, fences, columns, footpaths, driveways, and other sandstone details throughout your property. Our team is trained for safe operations at heights and can handle higher or difficult-access areas with the appropriate procedures and equipment. Regular sandstone cleaning can also help reduce long-term build-up that may contribute to staining and surface deterioration.
Restore the natural beauty of your sandstone with a gentle, professional softwash clean.

Our Sandstone Softwash Process
Initial Inspection
- We assess the sandstone surface before cleaning.
- We check the condition, staining, mould growth, drainage, nearby plants, and surrounding areas.
- This helps us choose the safest and most effective cleaning approach.
Surface Preparation
- We remove loose dirt, leaves, cobwebs, and debris where needed.
- Nearby plants, lawns, and sensitive areas are pre-wet with water before applying any softwash solution.
- We also check areas where water or solution may run off.
Low-Pressure Application
- A softwash solution is applied using low pressure.
- This helps treat mould, algae, mildew, and organic growth without blasting the sandstone surface.
- Low-pressure cleaning is ideal for delicate and porous materials like sandstone.
Dwell Time
- The solution is left on the surface for a short period to break down organic growth.
- This allows the cleaning solution to work properly instead of relying on harsh pressure.
- The dwell time depends on the condition of the sandstone.
Gentle Rinse
- The sandstone is rinsed carefully using low pressure.
- This helps wash away loosened dirt, grime, and treated organic growth.
- Our aim is to clean effectively while reducing the risk of surface damage.
Plant and Property Protection
- Plants and surrounding areas are watered before and after cleaning.
- We take care around gardens, lawns, painted surfaces, windows, and nearby fixtures.
- Proper rinsing and runoff management are part of our process.
Final Check
- We inspect the cleaned sandstone after rinsing.
- Some deep stains, rust marks, mineral stains, or older marks may not fully disappear in one clean.
- We always aim for the best possible result based on the condition of the surface.
