Did a few Softwashing jobs on Friday. The monoblock and Indian Sandstone went well but the Decking one was a bit of a nightmare. The decking was 20 years old and now had little spaces between them. Found out it was pooling at points because laid nearly on the grass. Anyhow, sprayed it, scrubbed it and sprayed again. The pooling bits were still dark when I left. In the end I had to go back the next day and spray neat hypo to make it look good. Think I made a few bob and only did it because its one of my windy customers.

Just a heads up to anyone considering Softwashing decking that's been down for decades. You will need a 25l of SH at least and not worth the hassle.

Well thanks for the tip, the lesson i will take away from it (which only confirms what i and many others already thought ) is stick to window cleaning, its a much safer bet. (earnings wise).

Indeed. I went on the Softwashing course and it was really good. What you must remember, you have a network of good customers and they would prefer you to do other cleaning jobs. Once I took the leap then the money continually came in meaning I could buy more equipment and become more efficient.

Dont use sh on wooden decking, its not the correct way to tackle a job like that. Sodium percarbonate for wood.

This is a window cleaning forum.

Not supposed to softwash it really but if it's an old deck they don't really care if you bleach it they just don't want it green.

Good money to be had I've found but definitely easier, consistent money comes with window cleaning without the risks.
