Have you tried getting a softwash service for your driveway?

Hi! Have you tried getting a softwash service for your driveway? My concern is that we have a lawn on the left side and another patch of grass on the right side from our neighbors. I’m worried that the solution might kill the grass. Is there a way to avoid damaging the grass?

I’d never heard of it but a quick google suggests it’s what I thought it might be - pressure washing, detergent and sodium hypochlorite (very strong bleach). I can’t comment on the detergent but I use sodium hypochlorite on my patio slabs without issue with the grass. This is what I use: Liquipak Sodium Hypochlorite 5L... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089B5BKMR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share As long as you thoroughly water the grass first it doesn’t do any damage.

Thanks for your response. I have no idea what solution they will use. I can ask, but when they did our roof, our plants died but slowly recovering now. I hope the solution that they'll use in the driveway is a milder one.
