Title: Cleaning algae stains off render. Complete house.
Post by: JackieW on January 26, 2016, 10:03:28 am
Before now, I've sprayed Virosol on a pvc clad exterior wall and then brushed off with a sill brush and water fed pole. Worked  on a smooth surface such as upvc but it was still hard going.

Is there a better way for cleaning algae off a rendered walled house as I don't fancy brushing such a large expanse with a sill brush and not sure how effective Virosol would be on such an area?

And is it possible to do all that from the ground?

I have sprayed walls with this in the past - you're supposed to hose it off the next day.

This is another way to do it like a pro http://www.renderclean.biz/
Yes you can treat walls from the ground all depending of the height of the building in question really as on tall large buildings a picker would be better suited.

Guys could I ask are both of those products pet friendly, I was thinking of using something similar on a job I need to do
but they have dogs and Im worried about the overspill getting on their feet.

Doubt it but they won't have mouldy feet.

Best practise is to get the owners to keep the pesky critters away from the area until it's dry surely?
