Moss Killer - Clean painted, rendered or pebble dash walls

Textured wall coatings or even smooth painted areas tend not to become coated with moss but normally either an algae or lichen the colour and type of growth can depend greatly upon the area of the country. However the treatment remains almost the same just differing slightly depending upon the surface coating.

If you have a textured coating or Pebble dashed walls then you can undertake exactly the same processes just be careful with the amount of pressure you apply wither during washing, application or rinsing.

PREPARATION

With all surfaces preparation is the key to a successful job. With this type of surface cleaning the old growth is quite straight forward there are a number of options:

OPTION 1 - Depending upon the type of growth you may find that wetting the area and brushing will remove a vast majority or even all of the growth. It may sound simple but sometimes this can be the most effective method.

OPTION 2 - Brush the area to remove any loose growth and dirt then spray with CONCENTRATED MOSS & ALGAE KILLER - Batimoss CR as detailed in TREATMENT below.

OPTION 3 - Wash the area with MHN-F SURFACE CLEANER. Dilute 1 part with 10 parts water, spray or brush onto the surface before working the area with a soft brush. After 10-15 minutes rinse with a hosepipe or small pressure washer.

OPTION 4 - If the area has hard lichen growth then more forceful measures may be required therefore spray the area with RAPID MOSS & ALGAE KILLER - Batiface. This kills the growth on contact and should be left on the surface for between 30-60 minutes. After which the area should be washed with either a hosepipe and brush or, ideally, a SMALL pressure washer. The pressure washer not only rinses the product but also removes the dead growth from the surface.

TREATMENT

Once the surface has been cleaned and is dry apply a coat of CONCENTRATED MOSS & ALGAE KILLER - Batimoss CR. This will kill any remaining growth and the invisible spores but is then designed to be left upon the surface where it can inhibit re-growth. Please remember that Batimoss CR should only be sprayed on to a DRY surface.


FUTURE

The effective lifespan of CONCENTRATED MOSS & ALGAE KILLER - Batimoss CR depends upon the area in which it is being used. If surrounded by trees and / or constantly in shade then you may see fresh growth within 10 - 18 months however if on an open wall there may be no re-growth for many years.

When fresh growth is visible simply brush the area and apply a new coat of CONCENTRATED MOSS & ALGAE KILLER - Batimoss CR.
