Is softwashing safe for pets, dogs and children?

During the softwash cleaning process its important that your pets and children at kept out of the way while the professionals are applying a softwash treatment to your home. Once the organic straining is removed by the softwash treatment, porous and flat surfaces are rinsed thoroughly making the area safe to walk on for your pets and children. 

The Importance of Keeping Your Pets and Children Inside the Home While the Professionals are Cleaning

Softwashing is safe for pets and children following best practices, but it's still important to keep them inside the home while the professionals are cleaning. The cleaning solutions used in softwashing can be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or touched, especially in their concentrated form.


The equipment used for softwashing allows for a control amount of softwashing solution to be applied using low pressure pumping equipment that can still pose a risk of injury if mishandled or accidentally sprayed on someone. 


It is best to keep your pets and children away from the area being cleaned until the cleaning process is completed, and please respect the professional completing the work by giving them space and control of your home while they're are completing the cleaning. 

 

Porous Surfaces May Hold Residual Softwash Solutions, so these Surfaces are Rinsed Thoroughly After Treating

Porous surfaces, such as concrete and wood and render, may hold residual softwash treatment after the cleaning process is complete. This residual treatment can leach from the surface and be harmful if ingested or touched by pets and children.


This is why its important your contractor understands the surfaces that are being cleaning and those porous surfaces are rinsed thoroughly after treating to remove any residual treatment. The professional softwashing company you hire should be aware of this and take the necessary steps to ensure that all surfaces are rinsed thoroughly after treatment.

THE conclusion

Softwashing is safe for pets, dogs, and children following best cleaning practices,  but it's still important to take precautions to minimise any potential risks. The most important measure to reduce risk is to keep pets and children inside the home while the professionals are cleaning. Additionally, any porous surfaces should be rinsed thoroughly after treating to remove any residual softwash treatment. A contractor that is following these simple principles will ensure that your pets and children remain safe and healthy while your home or property is being cleaned using a safe and effective softwashing techniques.
