Render Cleaning Services in Kent and the South East
Professional Soft Wash Render Cleaning
Render Care by Nautilus provides safe and effective soft wash render cleaning for homes, apartments, schools, universities, and commercial buildings across Kent, Surrey, Essex, Sussex and South East London. We never pressure wash render, instead we use science-led soft washing that protects the surface while removing mould, algae and organic growth.
Types of Render We Clean
- Silicone render – marketed as “maintenance free” but prone to algae and mould. Requires periodic soft washing with low percentages and longer dwell times, often repeated for a full clean.
- Mineral or limestone render – natural and porous, best cleaned using lower strength solutions. These finishes often need multiple treatments to achieve excellent results.
- Polymer render – flexible cement-based blends that require controlled soft washing to avoid surface damage.
- Cement render – traditional sand and cement based finishes. These should never be pressure washed. Soft washing is the safest method.

Why Soft Washing Is Safer for Render Cleaning
Soft washing is the safe alternative to pressure washing. Instead of blasting render with force, we use a low-pressure system that blends sodium hypochlorite, water, and a biodegradable surfactant.
Unlike pressure washing, soft washing won’t damage delicate finishes or drive water behind the render. It sanitises the surface and breaks down organic growth at the root — meaning cleaner walls that stay clean for longer.
The most common mix we use is 97% water, 2% sodium hypochlorite, and 1% soap — carefully adjusted based on the render’s porosity.
At Nautilus Clean, we use certified soft washing equipment and follow strict preparation protocols for every render cleaning project.
