Hi everyone, tried out my first softwash tonight at home on my own territory. 1 brick wall that was black, 6 paving slabs that were black and lichen infested, the masonry/concrete surround to garage door and below two window sills on exterior wall that had turned black. Did everything by the book, 5/1 mix. Let it dwell for an hour. I did have to get the power washer out for assistance at the end. The brick wall has come up very well but still has a few black lichen on it. The garage came up 80% better quite happy with that. Below the window sills not so good even with a power washer. And the paving slabs not really acceptable. White lichen killed but black ones still there. I’m pretty sure this chemical makes a good impact but is 5:1 really strong enough in other peoples experience? Everything was heavily bogged to be fair, but is it possible for this stuff to do its job without the aid of a power washer? I was kind of disheartened having to get it out having expected not to, as the idea of softwashing is to cut out the pressure washer right? Was tempted to have another go with a stronger mix but will leave it til tomorrow as its 8pm lol. Any tips from those with more experience? Should i do it again at 5:1? I have my doubts and feel like going more like 3:1 but am i missing something....feeling pretty amateur [emoji51]
