Restore and sanitize your home’s exterior surfaces without the risk of high-pressure damage. Led by Michael Barry with over 30 years of industry experience, Showpiece Cleaning applies certified Benz Softwash biocide treatments to eliminate moss, algae, and lichen at the root—backed by our written 3-Year Moss-Free Guarantee on all roof cleaning across Limerick, Clare, and Tipperary.
Softwashing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method designed for surfaces that high-pressure power washing can strip, gouge, or disfigure. Standard pressure washing only blasts away surface-level dirt, leaving microscopic biological spores behind to regrow within months.
Following strict Benz Softwash application guidelines, our chemical-trained crew applies specialized biocide sanitizers to the surface. These eco-friendly cleaning agents penetrate porous materials, dissolving biological growth—including green algae, severe red algae, black spot, and lichen—down to the root.
Once treated, the biocide continues working alongside natural rainwater to wash away dead organic residue over time, keeping your property clean for up to four times longer than traditional pressure washing.
Modern wall finishes such as K-Rend, Weber render, painted plaster, and uPVC cladding are highly vulnerable to Irish humidity, which causes dark red and green algae staining. Attempting to blast render with high-pressure water causes permanent scarring, force-injects water into wall cavities, and ruins the underlying finish.
Scraping roof tiles aggressively or using high pressure breaks slates, degrades tile coatings, and damages internal roof membrane underlayment. Our softwashing system treats slate, flat tile, and concrete roofs with zero mechanical force.
Complete Biological Kill: Benz biocides eradicate deep-rooted moss, algae, black lichen, and fungus growing inside the pores of your roof tiles.
3-Year Moss-Free Guarantee: Because we strictly follow manufacturer dilution and application guidelines, every complete softwash roof clean comes with our written 3-Year Moss-Free Guarantee.
Ongoing Maintenance Program: To keep your roof moss-free indefinitely, we offer a light preventative biocide retreat every three years, eliminating the need for heavy roof cleaning ever again.

High-pressure power washing can strip protective tile coatings, force water under slates, and gouge wall renders like K-Rend. Softwashing uses low pressure paired with Benz Softwash biocides to chemically kill algae and moss at the root, delivering a deeper clean with zero risk of surface damage.
Softwash treatments typically last 2 to 4 times longer than standard power washing because the biological spores are killed rather than just pushed around. Render cleans usually stay clear for 2 to 4 years, while our full roof softwashing service includes a written 3-Year Moss-Free Guarantee.
Yes. Our crew is chemical-trained and follows strict pre-wetting protocols. We soak all surrounding garden plants with clean water to prevent chemical absorption. Once the softwashed surface is completely dry, it is entirely safe for pets and children.
Red and green algae on wall render dissolve almost instantly during treatment. Heavy moss and black lichen on roofs die immediately upon application, turn white or brown, and naturally wash away with rainwater over the following weeks and months.
Because we use professional-grade Benz Softwash products, safety is our top priority on every job:
Landscaping Safeguards: Our crew thoroughly pre-drenches surrounding grass, garden plants, and shrubs with fresh water before and during application to prevent biocide absorption.
Plant-Neutralizing Rinse: Post-cleaning, we rinse surrounding areas to ensure your landscaping remains healthy and unaffected.
Family & Pet Safe: Once the treated surface has fully dried, it is 100% safe for pets, children, and property occupants.
