I use algo clear ...it's safer and I can supply method statements and risk assessments. It has also being approved by K-rend for cleaning (k-rend) render. It is also approved by the HSE and MAFF for the treatment of Algae and Moss..... therefore my public liabilty insurance will be valid in the event of an accident. ;D

Sorry mention apply !
You can apply Algoclear any way you see fit ...to any surface. It will not damage seals in pressure washers so can be applied at high pressure. Or even with a watering can. We use waterfed poles and a x-jet.

Yep ...then rinse with a weak mix so you have a residual effect.
