smashed egg stains off apartment walls
« on: January 28, 2011, 09:29:31 pm »
tried to jet wash egg stains off an apartment wall today as kids threw loads of eggs at the walls cos they dont like the woman who owns them. tried to use fan and turbo nozzles but the stains were not shifting. the actual egg residue came off but had greasy stains left on the walls.  anyone removed egg stains before?

Think I've read this on http://www.pressurenet.net in the past.

Either vinegar warmed up or vinegar mixed with hot water.

Never experienced having to remove this myself.

The residue won't be grease, it will be the albumin of the egg that has soaked into the brick slightly.

If you have removed as much as you can with cold water then try scrubbing it with a salt water solution, this shoudl break down the protein chains and make it available for rinsing with the cold pressure washer.

Good luck

Hi

Bio logical persil (liquid) neat or diluted and a scrubbing brush.
