Today’s job is a longer video at around 5½ minutes because we wanted to show a bit more of the actual process.

This old driveway hasn’t been used or cleaned for years. Tree roots have grown underneath it, leaving cracks, hollows and ridges, so after our property assessment we decided pressure cleaning wasn’t the best option.

Instead, we cleaned it up manually, removed the loose material and heavy organic growth, thoroughly pre-wet the area and then treated it with Stomp Algaecide.

We’re showing the process because we get a surprising number of questions about how to actually apply algaecide effectively. From our experience, plenty know what an algaecide is, but fewer understand how to get the best out of it.

It’s not just mixing some up and spraying it everywhere. Preparation, dilution, pre-wetting, even application and giving the product time to work all make a difference.

For this job we used Stomp at 5L per 125L of water onto the pre-wet surface.

Stomp is our 9.9% BAC (benzalkonium chloride) algaecide, commonly called “Benzo”. We keep it under 10% because it gives us the performance we need while remaining safe for transport without the dangerous-goods requirements that come with stronger concentrations.

So there you go — a little “How to Algaecide” from us.
(FYI BENZO's shouldn't be applied to Colourbond, section 10.5 of their SDS for reference.)

Judging by the number of questions we get, there’s obviously plenty of interest in the subject. And knowing salesmen and social media, we might have just started a whole new run of algaecide videos. 😂 At least everyone might learn something along the way.

It all depends on how the fishing is this weekend but DADS Algaecide could possibly be ready by mid next week, we'll keep you posted, either with fish pics or sad algaecide posts 😆

And for our own little David Attenborough's, stick around for some bonus FNQ nature footage of green ants at the end.

Thanks for watching. It’s Friday, so the fishing gear is coming out!

We’ll be back at this property in a few weeks as the project continues.

Until then — tight lines and good times!

Ultrasoft® — it’s all in the name.

Well… I knew this was coming. 😂

The moment we announced we were going to start supplying chemicals again, I said we'd probably get a little shade from some of the usual corners.

But WOW!!

On Tuesday I received what would have to be a serious contender for Toxic Hater of the Year.

Pages of messages from someone claiming to pressure clean around the Cassowary Coast—attacking me, my family, my friends and pretty much anyone associated with Ultrasoft.

Apparently our ultra-low chlorine cleaning is “impossible”, complete BS, and I should be ashamed of myself for “lying to the industry”.

I've heard versions of this for years.

The funny part is that many of the ideas we were criticised for are increasingly being talked about and adopted elsewhere.

I think what really gets under some people's skin is that we don't just talk about it, we've been doing it on real properties for years.

Yesterday I was back in Mission Beach washing another repeat customer's home. I've been travelling into the area for around six years now, and many of those properties have been cleaned repeatedly using the same Ultrasoft philosophy: the right chemistry, the right concentration and the right pressure for the surface.

We don't need everyone to agree with us, don't actually care either....

If someone wants to use stronger chlorine concentrations or different cleaning methods, that's their business. We'll continue doing what we've been doing.

But attacking someone's family and friends because you disagree with how they clean a house?

Mate… that's probably a sign the conversation has gone a little off the rails.

Fortunately, after Tuesday's performance, we've realised there may be an entirely new market we've been overlooking.

So we've developed a very special new product for those moments when someone else's cleaning method causes unexplained anger, frustration, fear, rumours or an uncontrollable urge to send several pages of angry messages to somebody they've never actually met.

Introducing…

COPIUM™ 😂

Full product reveal at the end of the video.

Available in 1L, 5L, 20L…

…and for particularly severe cases, the industrial 200L drum.

Please use responsibly. 😂

Cleaning products to return.
After a heap of emails and enquiries over the last couple of weeks, it’s become pretty hard to keep saying no.

Since moving to FNQ I've been enjoying the new lifestyle, doing a bit of fishing and work mixed together. Although we haven't posted much work I have been busy behind the scenes.

I now have the time and energy to give the products another go, properly this time. Mondays and Thursdays will be set aside for orders, so no more 4am packing or late-night order filling.

One of the other reasons we stopped supplying was that a small number of guys were buying our products and then trying to associate their businesses with Ultrasoft. Most customers never did this, but we needed to protect the group.

So the products are coming back under their own completely separate brand - D.A.D.S. We can now supply anyone who wants our products while keeping Ultrasoft protected.

We've also sorted the shipping nightmare. Missing boxes, orders sitting hundreds of kilometres away and longtime customers whose addresses suddenly “didn't exist”. We've left that company behind and gone back to old faithful Australia Post.

First up will be our House Wash Surfactant (the old BGW House Honey) and the lemon-scented Surface Cleaner — formerly BBC, before I discovered that apparently meant something completely different!- a change has been made! also a few exciting additions in the pipeline.

We're aiming for around $90 per 5L including shipping and GST with Australia-wide shipping, delivered to your door. The mixing rates should make a few people pretty happy too. and some not so happy ;)

A couple of comments from Rob really helped change my mind:
“After 12 years in business the customers are getting harder and I'm losing so many quotes now to the cheap and nasty guys.”
And:
“Your soaps were the best, the other guys' soaps are not good and leave white spot marks. I did like your products and how you brought the SH levels down. Thanks for what you have brought to the industry and all the best with your new move and life.”

After getting messages like that — and plenty of others over the last two weeks — it's pretty hard to just let it go.

So I'm giving it another go. Same quality and performance, new brand, sensible pricing and this time enough time to do it properly.

DADS — always there when you need a helping hand.

This morning we finally got started on a project we mentioned a few months ago.

We offered to help a couple who are no longer physically able to keep up with the maintenance around their home. It’s a project we’ll be working through over several weeks, and it’s already proving to be an interesting one.

There are multiple surface types here, and each one needs a different approach. The goal isn’t simply to make everything look clean for a few minutes — it’s to get the best possible result while preserving as much of the existing surface as we can.

The roof is another challenge. The carport and rear deck have COLORBOND® roofing, while the main section of the house has a high-pitched tiled roof. The tiles have years of organic growth built up, and the owners understand that the finish may be patchy once cleaned.

Our approach will be to remove as much of the growth as possible while maintaining as much of the existing coating and surface as we can, without excessive chemical exposure or pressure.

Then there’s the second driveway.

That one is going to be a challenge on Friday. It has never been cleaned and has years of leaves and organic matter built up, including moss in places around 1cm thick. It’s going to take some patience!

Once the exterior surfaces are complete, we’ll finish with the house wash. When the furniture and equipment have been cleared from the rear deck, we’ll return and take care of that as well.

There’s also one part of this project where we could use a little help from the community.

The exterior cleaning work on this property would normally attract a sizeable fee, which Ultrasoft is donating as part of this project. We’re also aware that the yard is going to need a fair bit of work to bring it back under control.

We’re hoping someone in the gardening or landscaping industry might be able to donate some time and give these folks a hand.

If we can’t find someone who is able to donate the work, we’d still love to make it happen. If anyone in the community would like to contribute towards the cost of getting a gardener or landscaper in, we’ll put those contributions together and use them to pay someone to do the work.

No pressure, no obligation — just a community coming together to give someone a hand when they need it.

Just over 3 years ago, I found myself with very little and had to start again from scratch. There was nobody around to help me out, and I honestly can’t imagine how much harder that would have been if I’d also been physically unable to look after things myself.

Sometimes you just need someone to give you a hand.

If you’re a gardener, landscaper, or simply someone who’d like to help, please send us a message.

We’ll keep working away at this one over the coming weeks.

Giving back to those who need a helping hand.

House hunting through a cleaner’s eyes 👀

Our house-hunting expeditions over the weekend became a bit of an occupational hazard.

When you're a cleaner, you don't just see a house… you see the roof, driveway, screens and all the little things that make you think:

“Oh look… what have they done here!”

We noticed pavers where the surface showed signs of rounded edges and roughed-up areas, screens where the powder coating looked like it may have been affected, and a roof where the coloured protective coating appeared to have worn away in places, leaving the concrete exposed.

It was also a half job, with organic growth still left along the leading edges of the tiles. In Cairns, that roof probably won't stay looking clean for long.

And that's the important part — cleaning methods matter.

At Ultrasoft, our approach is pretty simple: use the least aggressive method that gets the job done properly.

We don't rely on high pressure to do the cleaning, and we don't believe in unnecessarily exposing surfaces, gardens and surrounding areas to excessive chemicals.

Different surfaces need different approaches. What works on one surface isn't necessarily the right method for another.

🏡 Buying? Look a little closer.

✅ Roofs — coatings, exposed areas and missed sections
✅ Gutters & drains — look for roof coating or residue that may have been washed away during cleaning
✅ Pavers — look for rounded edges or roughed-up surfaces
✅ Screens — check for changes to the powder coating
✅ Gardens — look for burnt plants or dead patches
✅ Ceilings — staining, mould or signs of moisture

With house prices as they are, the last thing you want is unexpected repair costs that may be associated with previous cleaning.

And this is where buyers can gain some bargaining power.

Finding potential cleaning-related issues doesn't necessarily mean don't buy. But it does give you something to investigate and potentially discuss when negotiating the price.

For us, this house wasn't a deal breaker — just another "con" in the pros and cons column.

🏡 There's a lesson here for vendors and real estate agents too.

Pre-market cleaning should be about maximising the presentation and value of the property.

The last thing you want is to spend money getting a property cleaned for sale, only for the cleaning work to leave something a potential buyer may question — or another point they can raise when negotiating the price.

A good pre-market clean should make the property look its best while taking care of the surfaces around it.

That's why our approach at Ultrasoft is based on understanding the surface first, then choosing the appropriate cleaning method.

The goal isn't to use the most pressure or the strongest chemical. It's to get the best result while being considerate of the property and everything around it.

Because when you're selling a property, the clean should help maximise the price — not give the buyer another reason to negotiate.

We'll keep looking. 🏡🔍

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT — YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW

Today’s Property Assessment was a great example of why a quick quote based on the size and location of a property doesn’t always tell the full story.

We identified:

• Rot and organic growth on timber deck supports
• Rust coming through rendered brickwork
• Roof screws requiring replacement
• Pavers previously pressure cleaned to the point of surface erosion and rounded edges
• Fungi, mould and cyanobacteria, all at different stages of growth and infestation

These aren't simply cleaning issues. They are property maintenance issues, and each requires the appropriate solution.

Our 12-page assessment report identifies the issues, explains what is happening, recommends solutions and provides a maintenance strategy to help prevent the property returning to this condition.

The proposed work is quoted, along with the future maintenance schedule.

The $125 assessment fee is deducted from the final invoice if the recommended work proceeds.

It also protects us as the contractor. We don't want to arrive at a job and discover issues that, in good conscience, we couldn't or wouldn't work around — even if the owner wasn't aware of them.

And this is something worth considering when booking online.

An out-of-town, Google-based franchise or business can take a phone booking, accept a deposit and provide a price without ever seeing the property.

They simply cannot identify what they don't see.

Approximately 3 hours including travel, inspection, assessment, reporting and professional advice for $125 is a fair investment.

A simple pressure cleaning quote may help the cleaner, but understanding the property properly helps the property owner.

Our job isn't just to clean it.

It's to understand it, identify the problems and provide the right professional solution.

That’s the difference.

Welcome to all our new followers! 🐸

If you’re new here, hit that Like and Follow button and stick around. We’ve got plenty coming your way.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be putting together videos from previous jobs to show exactly what makes Ultrasoft different from traditional softwashing and high-pressure water blasting.

From the outside, they can all look pretty similar. The difference is what’s happening behind the scenes.

Our technique is different. Our chlorine content is dramatically different. Our soaps are different too.

Ultrasoft soaps are non-hazardous and biodegradable, formulated without ingredients linked to cancer or reproductive harm, like some. They also help prevent spotting and water marks while allowing us to minimise chlorine and maximise cleaning performance.

The result? Less chemical, less pressure and a cleaning system designed around the surface being cleaned.

Clean. Fresh. Ready to impress.

I’ll also be creating longer videos for our new YouTube channel, showcasing Ultrasoft working in very different conditions around the country.

From Jason in Tasmania dealing with heavy lichen, moss and algae, to Brendan in South Sydney tackling pollution, biofilm and grime, and Paul in Townsville — where Ultrasoft was originally developed.

And of course, the odd job I get to do here in Cairns when I’m not out fishing! 😂

There are plenty of people now mimicking parts of what we do, and honestly, that’s fine.

But copying the appearance of a system is very different from understanding why it works.

Our licensed Ultrasoft operators understand the process, the chemistry and, most importantly, why we do things the way we do.

So if you’re new here, welcome aboard.

There’s a lot more Ultrasoft to come. 🐸

A little update from Townsville and Paul at Tropic Flow Exterior Cleaning. 🐸

So the other day Paul forgot to send through his photos, so naturally we had to come up with a few theories about what he’d been up to. 😂

Turns out, he was just too busy getting stuck into the work!

Paul came into the exterior cleaning industry with zero experience, and in my opinion, that has been a pretty good place to start with Ultrasoft.

He hasn’t had years of industry habits to unlearn, or been influenced by the “University of Social Media” and the endless stream of salesmen, opinions and information that comes with it.

There’s a lot of information out there these days. Some of it can be useful, while some can lead you down a rabbit hole of confusion and error.

Starting with a clean slate has allowed Paul to learn the Ultrasoft system, understand why we do things differently and develop his own experience without having to first undo years of habits.

He’s been busy, and he’s getting some great results around Townsville.

Our repeat customers can expect the same Ultrasoft approach they’ve received over the years, and new customers are in good hands too.

📞 Paul – 0433 473 029
Tropic Flow Exterior Cleaning

We’ll soon have a page on the new Ultrasoft website introducing all our licensees.

It’s interesting seeing how Ultrasoft is being applied across different environments. Different challenges, same principles.

🐸 Jason is dealing with bitterly cold conditions in Western Tasmania and some serious lichen growth.

🐸 Brendan is dealing with algae, pollution and higher-density housing in South Sydney.

🐸 Paul is tackling the tropical conditions in Townsville that helped Ultrasoft earn its stripes in the first place.

🐸 As for me, I’m now based in Cairns and FNQ and semi-retired, although I’m still working a few days a week. I’m still passionate about growing and improving Ultrasoft, but I’m doing it slowly and methodically. There’s still plenty to work on, particularly improving our systems, processes and admin — which has never exactly been my strongest area! 😂

The focus now is on continuing to develop Ultrasoft, refining what we do and making sure we keep improving along the way.

Different environments, different challenges — but the same Ultrasoft principles and the same commitment to doing things properly.

Here are some of Paul’s results from Townsville.

Ultra Low Chlorine. Ultra Low Pressure. 🐸

A quick apology for the confusion around our Property Assessments!

We’ve had a few people understandably assume that we no longer offer free quotes. We absolutely do! I was so focused on trying to explain the difference between a free quote and our more detailed Property Assessment that I completely forgot to explain the basics — including that free quotes are still available!

I’m a cleaner, not a website designer 😂 Sometimes I know exactly what I’m trying to say in my head, but getting it onto a screen in a way that makes sense to everyone else is a different story!

Hopefully this clears up any confusion. Every property is different, and sometimes a straightforward free quote is all that’s needed. Other properties can benefit from a more detailed assessment.

Thanks to everyone who raised the question — it gave me the chance to explain it properly! 👍
