Melbourne Soft Washing


Soft surfaces need a gentler approach. Based in Clayton, Hard Surface Cleaners provide professional soft washing services for commercial properties across Melbourne, Sydney, the Gold Coast and regional locations.


This low-pressure cleaning method is ideal for delicate materials like painted walls, signage and shade sails. Instead of force, we use biodegradable cleaning solutions that break down organic matter such as mould and airborne pollutants. The treatment is applied evenly, left to dwell and then rinsed with care, leaving surfaces clean without damage or streaking.


Our team is trained to assess your site and recommend the best approach to keep your building looking sharp and compliant with minimal disruption.

Targeted Cleaning Solutions

Every commercial site is different, and so is our approach. At Hard Surface Cleaners, our soft washing service begins with a site assessment to understand the surface type and condition. Once we know what’s required, we apply targeted cleaning solutions followed by a low-pressure rinse that gently lifts away contaminants.


We work with facility managers, property owners, body corporates and commercial developers who want a safe, sustainable clean without surface damage. With public liability and WorkCover insurance, a vetted crew and a clear process from start to finish, we make soft washing easy to schedule and even easier to maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is soft washing used for?

    Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method used to clean delicate surfaces like painted walls, cladding, signage and awnings. It removes mould, algae, dirt and mildew using biodegradable solutions. This technique is ideal for surfaces that could be damaged by high-pressure washing, offering a safer, longer-lasting clean without stripping paint or causing surface wear.

  • How is soft washing different from pressure washing?

    Soft washing uses low water pressure and specialised cleaning agents to treat surfaces gently, while pressure washing relies on high-pressure water to remove dirt. Soft washing is better suited for fragile materials such as render, timber and roof tiles, where pressure washing may cause damage. It cleans effectively without relying on force, making it ideal for more sensitive areas.

  • Is soft washing safe for all surfaces?

    Soft washing is safe for many surfaces, especially those that can’t handle high pressure. It’s commonly used on painted finishes, stucco, signage, solar panels and shade sails. However, it may not be suitable for every material. A surface assessment is usually done first to determine the best method. When applied correctly, soft washing is a safe, effective option for sensitive exteriors.
