Your Local Soft Washing Service

Project Overview

At Mr. Clever Clean, we are experts in providing high-quality exterior cleaning services across the United Kingdom. Recently, a customer approached us regarding their K-Rend, silicon-based render, which had developed unsightly organic stains on the gable wall and the north side of their property. This case study details how we restored their render to its original pristine condition using our advanced softwashing techniques.

Customer Challenges

• Severe Organic Staining: The silicon-based K-Rend had become heavily stained with organic contamination, particularly on the gable wall and the north-facing walls.
• Porous and Soft Render: Silicon-based render is known for attracting organic growth due to its porous nature, and it typically becomes unsightly within four years. The softness of the render also necessitated a gentle cleaning approach to avoid damage.

Our Approach

Upon being contacted, we conducted a thorough site survey to assess the extent of the staining and to determine the best cleaning strategy. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We visited the property on an agreed date and inspected the K-Rend. We noted extensive organic contamination and explained to the customer the need for a soft wash application to effectively clean the render and prevent future growth. We also discussed the option of applying a biocide post-cleaning for prolonged protection.

2. Quotation and Agreement: We provided the customer with a detailed proposal and free quotation for the softwashing service, including the optional biocide treatment. After considering the benefits, the customer agreed to proceed with both the softwashing and biocide application.

3. Scheduling and Preparation: We scheduled the cleaning at a convenient date for the customer. On the day of service, we set up our softwashing equipment and prepared the cleaning solutions.

4. Softwashing Application: Using our advanced softwashing system, we applied a specialized soft wash solution to the contaminated areas of the render. The solution was applied using our water-fed pole system to ensure a thorough yet gentle application, which is crucial for the delicate silicon-based render.

5. Dwell Time and Rinsing: The soft wash solution was left to dwell for an appropriate amount of time to break down the organic contaminants. After this period, we used the water-fed pole system to rinse off the solution, revealing the clean and restored render beneath.

6. Biocide Application: After the initial cleaning, we applied a biocide solution to the render. This treatment provides residual protection against organic growth, helping to keep the render clean for the next couple of years.

7. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: After completing the cleaning and biocide application, we invited the customer to inspect the render. They were extremely pleased with the results and amazed by the transformation. The render looked as good as new, and the customer was delighted with the outcome.

8. Maintenance Plan: We recommended that the customer have a biocide treatment applied every two years to maintain the render’s cleanliness and prevent future contamination. The customer agreed and asked us to contact them to arrange future treatments.

Results

The transformation was outstanding. The K-Rend, previously marred by organic staining, was restored to its original clean and beautiful condition. The biocide treatment ensured long-lasting protection, giving the render a fresh look for years to come.
