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.
