Colourbond Roof Cleaning

Pressure cleaning, excessive chlorine, aggressive algaecides, so-called biocides, and other harsh chemical treatments can damage COLORBOND® roofing by prematurely wearing the protective coating and paint finish. Over time, this can lead to oxidation, a chalky or powdery surface, reduced coating life, and unnecessary deterioration.

Professional roof cleaning follows BlueScope's Technical Bulletin 27, using approved cleaning methods that remove organic growth without relying on high-pressure cleaning. High pressure not only risks damaging the roof surface but also fails to effectively kill the mould, algae, lichen, and bacteria causing the staining, allowing growth to return quickly.

Ultrasoft uses ultra-low pressure and carefully controlled treatments to safely remove organic growth while helping preserve the integrity and appearance of your roof. If you'd like independent confirmation of BlueScope's cleaning recommendations, we encourage you to contact Steel Direct or BlueScope directly regarding their current cleaning directives.

Even heavily oxidised roofs that have become chalky or powdery can be safely cleaned using the Ultrasoft system. Our ultra-low-pressure cleaning and controlled chemical treatment process follows BlueScope's Technical Bulletin 27 recommendations, including avoiding pressure cleaning and carefully managing chemical strength, application rates, and dwell times. We've invested heavily in specialised equipment and training to ensure every roof is cleaned thoroughly while minimising the risk of damage. By following manufacturer guidelines, we help protect the long-term performance of your roof while supporting warranty and insurance requirements. Every Ultrasoft roof treatment and clean is backed by our standard 12-Month Warranty.

Pressure Cleaning reduces service life of colourbond roofs.

High-pressure cleaning can permanently damage COLORBOND® roofing by accelerating wear of the protective coating and paint system. While some operators claim they simply reduce the pressure on a pressure cleaner, the reality is that most pressure cleaning equipment cannot consistently operate at the low pressures specified by BlueScope's cleaning recommendations. At these low pressures, traditional pressure cleaning and surface cleaner attachments become ineffective for removing organic growth at a practical rate.

Be cautious of marketing claims that suggest otherwise. Manufacturer guidelines exist for a reason, and there is no substitute for using the correct equipment, chemistry, and technique. UltraSoft has invested thousands of dollars in specialised equipment and years of development to ensure our system aligns with BlueScope's recommendations. This includes carefully controlling chemical strength, limiting sodium hypochlorite concentrations, managing dwell times, and avoiding the use of damaging high-pressure methods.

Proper roof cleaning requires knowledge, experience, and purpose-built equipment. Shortcuts may save time for the contractor, but they can come at the expense of your roof's appearance, performance, and longevity. That's why UltraSoft follows manufacturer recommendations to the letter, delivering a thorough clean while helping protect your investment for years to come.
