In this episode, Mark Cave, founder of SoftWash UK, explains why dwell time is one of the most important skills in professional softwashing. Mark breaks down what dwell time actually means, why poor contact time causes patchy results, and how contractors can improve performance without simply using stronger chemical. He covers weather, surface temperature, porosity, surfactants, section-by-section working, plant protection and safe site practice. This practical episode is aimed at exterior cleaning contractors, facilities managers and serious DIY users who want cleaner, safer and more consistent softwashing results.
