How to clean roughcast rendered wall contaminated with Trentepohlia algae, mould, bacteria and organic biofilm by softwashing.
One of the main advantages of a soft wash or as it's known softwashing is that it is applied at low pressure, which ensures that even delicate surfaces aren't damaged. This makes it the perfect cleaning method for those who want to maintain the look of their property without causing any harm to surface.
It's different to Pressure Washing or Jetwashing in that it utilises low pressure to apply chemicals and rinse with hot water.
Softwashing kills the living spores of algae, mould, bacteria and organic biofilm that cold water pressure washing cannot remove.
Painting over the living biofilm of algae and mould will result in it striking through the paint after a short period of time.

Trentepohlia is a genus of filamentous algae that can grow on a variety of surfaces including rocks, bark, and building exteriors. It is characterized by its reddish-orange color, which is due to the presence of pigments called carotenoids. Trentepohlia is commonly found in humid and shaded environments, and its growth can be influenced by factors such as temperature, moisture, and nutrient availability.
Trentepohlia is known to cause aesthetic damage to buildings by staining them with its characteristic orange color.
