Cleaner Saver’s Softwashing Insurance


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

Softwashing is a gentle yet effective cleaning method that’s gaining popularity in the UK. It uses low-pressure water combined with specialised cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, and other contaminants from various surfaces. While softwashing is less abrasive than traditional pressure washing, it still comes with its own set of risks and challenges for cleaning professionals.

At Cleaner Saver, we understand the unique needs of softwashing specialists. Our tailored insurance solutions are designed to protect your business from the specific risks associated with this cleaning technique. With over 40 years of experience in the cleaning industry, we offer comprehensive coverage that gives you peace of mind, allowing you to focus on delivering exceptional service to your clients.

Why Do Softwashing Professionals Need Specialist Insurance?

 

Softwashing may seem less risky than high-pressure cleaning methods, but it still presents several potential hazards:

  1. Chemical exposure: Softwashing solutions often contain bleach or other cleaning agents that can cause harm if mishandled.
  2. Property damage: Accidental overspray or improper technique could damage delicate surfaces or landscaping.
  3. Slip and fall accidents: Wet surfaces created during the cleaning process pose a risk to both workers and passersby.
  4. Equipment malfunction: Specialised softwashing equipment can be expensive to repair or replace if damaged.

Without proper insurance coverage, these risks could lead to significant financial losses for your business. That’s why it’s crucial to have a policy that specifically addresses the unique aspects of softwashing.

What Does Cleaner Saver’s Softwashing Insurance Cover?

Our comprehensive softwashing insurance package includes:

Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance is essential for any cleaning business. It protects you if a member of the public or a client makes a claim against you for injury or property damage caused by your work. For softwashing professionals, this could include:

  • Slip and fall accidents on wet surfaces
  • Damage to client property from chemical overspray
  • Allergic reactions to cleaning solutions

Our public liability cover starts from £1 million, with options to increase up to £5 million for larger contracts or high-risk environments.

Employers’ Liability Insurance

If you employ staff, even on a casual or part-time basis, employers’ liability insurance is a legal requirement in the UK. This cover protects your business if an employee becomes ill or injured due to their work. For softwashing businesses, this could include:

  • Respiratory issues from prolonged exposure to cleaning chemicals
  • Slips or falls while working on wet surfaces
  • Injuries from handling heavy equipment

Cleaner Saver provides £10 million employers’ liability cover as standard, ensuring you’re fully compliant with UK regulations.

Tools and Equipment Insurance

Your softwashing equipment is vital to your business operations. Our tools insurance covers the cost of replacing or repairing your equipment if it’s lost, stolen, or damaged. This includes:

  • Softwashing pumps and systems
  • Specialised nozzles and attachments
  • Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Personal Accident Insurance

As a self-employed cleaner or small business owner, your income depends on your ability to work. Personal accident insurance provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to an accident. This cover can help with loss of income and medical expenses.

Product Liability Insurance

Product liability insurance is crucial for softwashing professionals who use or supply cleaning products. It protects you if a client suffers injury or property damage due to a product you’ve used or supplied. This could include:

  • Allergic reactions to cleaning solutions
  • Damage to surfaces from improperly mixed chemicals
  • Environmental contamination from runoff
