Seven ways we protect and refresh your exterior

Exterior house washing
Dust, mould and algae slowly dull and break down your paintwork. A low-pressure softwash lifts it all and kills the growth at the root, bringing your exterior back to its original colour, often for a fraction of what a repaint would cost.
Driveways & paving
Dirt, tyre marks, moss and algae build up on concrete, brick and paving, and make it slippery when wet. We clean it back to a safe, presentable finish.
Solar panel cleaning
Dirty panels quietly cut your output. We clean with purified water and a dedicated solar cleaner for a spot-free finish that's safe for your panels.
How we clean solar panelsWindow cleaning
Glass, frames and sills cleaned with purified water, so they dry streak- and spot-free and the rest of the wash actually shows.
Wall cleaning
Boundary walls, brick, block, plaster and cladding. We lift mould, dust and grime without damaging the finish underneath.
Pre-paint washing
Painting anyway? Paint over dirt and mould and it won't last. A thorough wash first clears the surface so new paint bonds properly and lasts longer.
Weed killing
Treatment for weeds along driveways, paths and paving joints, keeping them clear for longer between visits.
Why softwash?
The safer, longer-lasting way to clean
Here's how softwashing works, why it's gentler on your home than high pressure, and why it often saves you a repaint.
Before
After
What is softwashing?
Instead of blasting your home with high pressure, softwashing applies a specially mixed, environmentally friendly cleaning solution at low pressure. It breaks down dirt and kills mould, algae and lichen at the root, then everything is gently rinsed away.
Nothing is forced off the surface, so there's no damage to paint, plaster, glass or seals. And because the growth is killed rather than just knocked back, your home stays clean far longer than after a pressure wash.
What's really making your house look old
None of this is your paint failing. It's sitting on top of the paint, and it washes off.
Not sure if your house needs a wash or a repaint? Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll give you an honest answer. If it does need paint, our pre-paint wash gives the new coat the best possible start.

Dirty panels cost you power
Your panels can only turn the light that reaches them into power. Dust, pollen, bird droppings and grime build up fast, and every bit of it is power you've paid for but aren't getting.
Hose, mop & tap water
- ✕Tap water carries minerals that dry into spots and a film on the glass, blocking light
- ✕Mops, household brushes and detergents can scratch the surface or leave residue behind
- ✕Climbing onto the roof yourself is a real safety risk
The Atlas solar clean
- Reverse-osmosis purified water, with nothing in it to leave behind
- A dedicated solar and glass cleaner that's safe for panels and coatings
- A spot-free finish that lets the most light through to your cells
Reverse osmosis filters out the minerals and fine particles in ordinary tap water. With nothing left in it, the water dries completely clean: no spots, no film and no scale building up on your panels over time.

Our story
Experienced hands, professional equipment
We've been softwashing homes since 2021, starting out in New Zealand, where exterior washing is a routine part of looking after a house. That's where we perfected the trade and built up our professional softwash equipment, and this year we brought both to Gauteng.
We'll always explain exactly what we'd do, and why, before you spend a cent.
We're owner-run and fully covered by public liability insurance. We match the technique to the surface: softwashing for paint, plaster and cladding, and controlled pressure for concrete and paving. Every product we use is environmentally friendly and safe for gardens, lawns and pets.

Softwashing, explained
The questions we're asked most often, answered.
What's the difference between softwashing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing relies on force, which can strip paint, etch plaster and push water where it shouldn't go. Softwashing uses low pressure and lets a cleaning solution do the work, killing mould and algae instead of just blasting the surface. On hard surfaces like concrete and paving, we use controlled pressure where it's safe and effective.
Is it safe for my paint, plants and pets?
Yes. Every product we use is environmentally friendly and pet-friendly, and the low pressure means no damage to paint, plaster, glass or seals.
Why not just repaint?
Most of the “old” look on a house is dirt and growth sitting on the paint, not paint that has failed. A wash costs a fraction of a repaint and helps your existing paint last longer. If your paint genuinely is past it, we'll tell you, and wash it properly first so the new coat lasts.
How long will my house stay clean?
Because softwashing kills mould and algae at the root, results last much longer than a rinse or a pressure wash. Most homes benefit from a wash every one to two years, depending on shade, trees and how exposed the property is.
Can't I just hose my solar panels down?
You can, but it often makes things worse over time. Tap water leaves minerals behind that dry into spots and a film on the glass, and mops or household brushes can scratch the surface and its coating. We use reverse-osmosis purified water and a dedicated solar cleaner, so your panels dry spot-free and stay protected.
