Title: Pressure Washing - How would you clean this?
Post by: waynebarry on August 09, 2012, 02:15:01 pm

Hi There

I need to clean the black marks off a white painted house apex wall, I was going to use a fungicidal spray and then pressure wash it down is this correct or does anyone have any other suggestion on what chemical to use?

Cheers Wayne

p.s I have tried to upload a photo to show you but I am afraid it is saying it is to big.

yeah, a fungicide and try some TFR.
But painted walls are sometimes stained and need to be repainted.

Render/stucco.

Some staining eats into it. Here's a small section we did on an apartment block last Sunday. We brushed on some hypo, although there's still some faint stain that won't budge. They considered painting over it!! I told them to see it clean first, now they want a price for all the areas on the buildings.

Looks like the outside of the bin store is probably worse than the inside!  :o

If you're pressure washing K render be careful not to get to close to it or you will etch out the surface, it will look terrible.
K render needs a soft cleaning approach rather than just high pressure. And stay away from pencil jets!
