love the bit that showcases the machine and the dial labelled bleach!
so where do you get the figures that soft washing last 4 to 6 times longer than pressure washing ??

Ah, so generally not really an independent statement based on testing then,
As always very slick video - well done

i know you didn't make it up - but I'm not a fan of generalised statements that rubbish other services
in essence soft washing would last longer than 'just' pressure washing, but that really is only half a story - we would pressure wash those steps because the use of soft washing on that surface leaves a residue ( thats just bleached clean ) but if you run your hand across it the next day you'll find you get covered in dead algae - this is particularly true on cladded surfaces
after pressure washing we treat with Hypo - heavy black spot via a pump sprayer direct to the lichen of a light solution via x jet
so my pressure washing would last as long as your soft wash system but stay cleaner longer as I've removed mush of the algae first allowing the chem to work even better ;D
its all a sales pitch and a manipulation of how things are done

In the picture we just cleaned the walls not the steps. We did the resin steps about a year ago using a doff system, and they still don't look too bad- the resin drive way is looking worse due to the amount of cars driving over it- they need white tyres!! ;)

When you SoftWash, after you have finished it is a good idea to rinse off with water or Final Wash which neutralises bleach.
What I like is the Bulk Rinse Module as it really applies a lot of water quickly and easily, often a great alternative to pressure washing as it applies a great flow of water quickly.
I look forward to showing you guys a top end system at the window cleaning show 9th of September - the system I will bring has a full water purification system, plus Blend and Rinse module and a pressure washer - all attached as one system with loads of sexy electric hose reels.
Pull up - Work within seconds, pack away within seconds - move to next job!
