Cleaning Pebble Dash

Many homeowners, and even clenaing professionals, do not know how to correctly clean pebbledash walls. Pebbledash, sometimes called roughcast, can become very stained and mouldy as the years and decades pass. This make clenaing pebbledash a challenge. High pressure cleaning is far too aggressive to treat this surface effectively, as it risks removing most of the pebble and damaging the dash. The pebble can be easily blasted off the render in which it is embedded. At Softwashing UK we use our pH Neutral formulas to clean pebbledash, to both protect and maintain pebbledash exteriors, while removing the staining infectants that accumulate over time. We have cleaned pebbledash the length and breadth of the country.

Prior to cleaning, we’ll give your pebbledash wall a thorough inspection. If we notice any holes or glaring cracks we’ll advise to get these repaired beforehand, as cleaning will likely cause holes and cracks to widen.

Once we’ve established that the wall is safe to clean, we’ll remove the surface dust and grime with a low pressure water rinse without chemicals.

Next is where the magic happens- this how we we clean pebbledash walls; depending on the level and nature of your wall infection, we’ll use warm water and the appropriate PH neutral softwashing detergent. Light soiling will require a low pressure rinse, but more ingrained infections will require our designated render cleaning soaps which we’ll apply all over with a brush as required. These softwashing products will eliminate the infection at root.

A warm water low pressure rinse then removes any soaps and detergents remaining, and is left to dry in the air.

While high pressure washing will cause damage and lead to regrowth and expensive further treatments, a softwash will leave your pebbledash wall totally clean and intact!
