What is the Best Way to Clean Cladding in the UK?

When you own or manage a commercial building, you know how important it is to keep the exterior looking clean and presentable. Cladding is a popular choice for many buildings in the UK, but over time, it can become dirty, discoloured, or stained. So what is the best way to clean cladding?

The answer depends on a few factors, including the type of cladding and the degree of staining or discoloration. Here are some of the best ways to clean cladding:

  1. Soft Washing: Soft washing is a gentle cleaning method that uses low-pressure water and cleaning solution to remove dirt and grime from the surface of the cladding. This method is ideal for delicate or sensitive cladding materials, such as wood or composite materials.
  2. Pressure Washing: Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and grime from the surface of the cladding. This method is more aggressive than soft washing and is best for more durable cladding materials, such as metal or concrete.
  3. Chemical Cleaning: Chemical cleaning involves the use of specialized cleaning solutions to break down and remove stains and discoloration from the surface of the cladding. This method can be effective, but it requires careful handling to avoid damage to the cladding.

When choosing a cladding cleaning method, it’s important to consider the type of cladding, the degree of staining or discoloration, and the potential for damage to the cladding material. It’s also important to choose a cleaning service that has the necessary experience, equipment, and expertise to carry out the work safely and effectively.

What our Clients Think


See all testimonials
  • We would confirm Purple Rhino undertook the cleaning of ten large internal courtyard areas at the above hospital. As may be expected with hospital work complications did arise particularly from The Trust who had concerns with regards to patients in individual wards all of which were adjacent to the working areas. Not withstanding these problems Purple Rhino worked quickly and diligently with all parties so as to mitigate the issues and were able to complete in a timely and expeditious manner. All parties, including The Trust, were most appreciative with the quality of the completed works. In view of these experiences with Purple Rhino, we would not hesitate to recommend them for any future works relating to cleaning facades.
