Sorry my definition of soft washing is low pressure cleaning - I bow to your extensive knowledge and experience as shown on your website  ;)

As you know I'm still learning this trade, particularly the semantics of the lingo you use, I must try harder to use the exact world recognised terms in future

Why thank you Mr rhino, praise indeed coming from your good self.

I genuinly like Smudge and if he is doing something not quite right, then why not just point it out and we can all learn ?

Well said,

The forum would be a better place if those with experience and knowledge partook in threads with advice...
Alas, those in the "know" would rather nit pick and ruffle up their self important feathers than, heaven forbid contribute and actually post information  :(

I ain't holding back info. The brick work I would have pressure washed and applied a biocide. The render I need to know a little more about the stain before I would comment.
"Eco friendly bacterial detergent then soft wash" …what is it and who sold it you ?

I have cleaned  a bit of render.I just want to know why it was done this way it does not make sense . Nobody seems to be able to give me a rational explanation why this method/product was used.
But saying that I am always really interested  in new  methods. It's how we progress. I have been wrong many times before.
It's mainly the "Eco friendly bacterial detergent" I am not comfortable with ….maybe a dodgy supplier? It sounds like labelling for Fairy liquid. Kills germs and breaks down grease on dishes.
Can you send me the MSDS sheet for the product?

Chris - I would have sent my lads to do it  ;D

We seem to be mainly using Hypo and the Doff - which really seems to get brilliant results
We get our third Doff next week.......

3rd DOff impressive ... You have too much money.Maybe you should run a cleaning coarse for all us lot who struggle daily to make a living? Then we would not be subject to being sold dodgy products and we would have "clarity" in the teqniques used.

Doffs are only £5.5K so no point financing them - Vans - now that's another story..........

Never tried it on tyre marks

150 degrees C would work well on your boxers especially if you were wearing them at the time

A JOSS/TORC systems system would probably work better than just superheated water to try removing tyre marks on kirb stones.

Just spray them with Miracle Epoxy Grout Film Remover, wait 10 minutes and pressure wash it off as normal

  Hi Matty, a simple solution is a bucket of water and a stainless steel scouring pad, its best to use 40grm or 60grm s/s pads for this application, just dip the s/s scouring pad into the water and proceed to scrub the tyre marks which will completely disappear from the kerb, these scouring pads are more effective than using a 3000psi hot pressure washer in solving your problem.
