Softwash

joebloggs123

Looking to clean up some of the green/red algae growth around the house and prevent it coming back. Looking to hit it with some hypo initially and then later come back with an occasional biocide wash to help prevent it coming back.

What are the popular products for this kind of thing in Ireland and where can I source them?

did you every get anywhere with this? looking into doing similar, professionals are quoting me 1000euro + for what's probably less than a days work

I have done this myself. It's a bit of work and a bit of cash.

Sodium hypochlorite is cheap from farmers providers etc. Nasty stuff, need gloves, glasses and old clothes. It will kill your grass, shrubs if you get it on them.

I bought Benz bio cleanse direct from the website.

Now the expense kicks in. You need to apply it.

I bought a long water fed pole from a UK place. Window cleaning warehouse. The pole I got was cheap but heavy. FACELIFT® RENEGADE

Then you need a noozle to spray the chemical. CHEMICAL APPLICATION NOZZLE

And you need a pump AQUATEC® 12V CHEMICAL PUMP. And a car battery to run it.

A lot of work....but the results are awesome. I done the entire house. Pebbledash and roof. It's a different house. It went from looking awful with lichen, red algae, black etc.

The chemical is rough on the pump tho.

I looked at videos on YouTube, Benz software were the most helpful to me. It looks like he is in Cork. His videos show some very tradional new build style houses here.
