Had some problems with my machine & had to come up to Softwash Australia for repairs from Sydney. Nick, Tom & Harry are always super helpful & diagnosed the problem quick smart. I tried to do it myself but it’s cheaper to have the pros do it. Thanks guys, back into work mode again without a worry now.

Softwash Australia custom built me a rig and gave me the guidance and confidence I needed to get going in the business. The package was described as a business in a box and it is exactly that. I have hit the ground running and straight out of the gate, my business is flourishing. Great gear, service and support.

Product details

About SWAM

Coining the phrase "wet and forget", SWAM is a concentrated, non-caustic, non-acidic detergent sanitizer designed for the one-step removal of moss, mould, algae, and grime. In short, a biocide. Its biodegradable formula reactivates with rain to provide long-lasting surface protection. It is suitable for a wide range of exterior surfaces, including roofs, concrete, natural stone, timber, and painted surfaces. One of our most popular products to date. Great for both cleaners who want to provide longer-term maintenance and post-treatment options, or for homeowners looking to treat organics and suppress mould growth. 

Application Ratio

General recommendation is to dilute at 10:1 (or 5:1 if treating severe staining) 

Estimated Coverage

Coverage varies based on surface porosity. 

Surface Type Est. Coverage per Litre (RTU) Total Coverage (220L)
Non-Porous (Metal, Siding) 5 m² 1,100 m²
Semi-Porous (Pavers, Brick) 4 m² 880 m²
Highly Porous (Concrete, Sandstone) 3 m² 660 m²

Frequently asked questions

Got questions about SWAM? We've got answers.

What is SWAM and how does it work?
SWAM is a professional-grade biocide treatment specifically engineered for eliminating organic staining, moss, mould, and mildew on hard exterior surfaces. It is designed as a 'set and forget' style application, meaning there is no need to rinse it off after spraying; it bonds to the surface and is continually reactivated by weather events to keep surfaces clean for up to 12 to 18 months.
What types of surfaces is SWAM suitable for?
SWAM is ideal for treating organic growth on a wide variety of hard surfaces, including stucco, rendered walls, concrete driveways, paths, pavers, and roof shingles.
Does SWAM require the addition of an external surfactant?
SWAM is formulated with a built-in surfactant to ensure good surface wetting. While adding an additional high-cling surfactant like SWAG (Gecko) is not strictly necessary, it can safely be added to the mix if you require extra cling and extended dwell time on steep vertical surfaces or walls.
Can runoff from SWAM enter rainwater tanks?
Absolutely not. SWAM is an active chemical biocide containing quaternary ammonium compounds, which are harmful if swallowed and toxic to aquatic environments. If you are treating a roof or surface that feeds into a collection tank used for drinking, household use, or garden irrigation, the rainwater tank collection system must be completely disconnected or bypassed prior to application and remain disconnected until the roof has been thoroughly flushed by subsequent rainfall.
Is SWAM safe to use around garden plants and lawns?
Because SWAM is highly effective at killing organic matter, it can cause chemical burning or defoliation if oversprayed onto lawns, shrubs, or delicate garden foliage. To protect surrounding plant life, heavily pre-rinse nearby gardens with clean water before application, protect them during spraying, and rinse them thoroughly again afterward to dilute any residual overspray.
