Two main reasons you might want your render cleaned

The problems when cleaning any rendered or pained surfaces arise when using High pressure. High-pressure cleaning is NOT the best way to clean render.
Softwashing and often a combination of low pressure hot water cleaning is the only way to clean delicate surfaces without damaging silcone based render and painted surfaces.
In the UK's damp and wet climate, K-render and painted wall products make for great breeding ground for algae, and fungus. Often found in the more shaded areas of your home lacking prolonged direct exposure to sunlight allows the algae to multiply and grow... Often accompanied with slippery patios and mossy driveways.
Why Does Render Get Dirty?
- Lack Of Direct Sun Light - Does you home receive many rays of sun? Algae loves damp and shaded areas, so the shady sections of buildings are an ideal spot for this organic staining. It finds its location in the pores within the render and begins to grow and multiply.
- Environment - Are there trees and big bushes nearby? Overhanging trees and heavy green foliage can encourage moss or algae growth on many surfaces. But its not natural foliage, poor drainage and surfaces that hold moisure significanly encourance agae to grow on rendered and painted surfaces.
- Leaky Gutters
- A not so common reason render becomes dull and faded is from over flowing and blocked guttering. The overflowing rain makes the render damp and encourages further staining.
The recommend process to cleaning render is a process called soft washing. This watery solution is applied to the surface with gentle agitation using a soft brush somewhat similar to the process of window cleaning.
Soft washing is a safe and ecofriendly way to sanitises the surface that gently begins to emulsify the surface algae that's growing into the render.
Within about 30 minutes the soft wash process begins to take effect and the algae and biofilms that are making the render appear dull and faded start to disappear revealing the underlying clean render.
