Today's challenge - what might clean this staining off a rendered wall ???

[rshandyman]

Algoclear cost around £16 -1l and from mistralni 18.99 so not really cheaper.

 

[rshandyman]

Algoclear as far as I know is just 40% Didecyldimethylammonium Chloride http://mistralni.co.uk/products/didecyldimethylammonium-chloride

Smurf is right.for home users is 10% and for pro is 40%

 

[rshandyman]

Did You find prices Smurf?I need to do some research,might be good idea,nog many people use that.

Paint might peel off if used heavy concentrated

 

[Smurf]

Is that the price of algoclear pro or the weaker one as I can't seem to find the pro one on their website now.

Thats not

 

[rshandyman]

I tough that price on their website is for pro...

 

[rshandyman]

What do You think about that doff system or torc would you consider adding this to you services, top dollar for that kind of work I guess

 

[Smurf]

I know a chap that has both doff & torc systems and does very well out of specialist masonry cleaning.

Why you did not add that to your smurfy services.do you know how much each of them cost?

 

[Smurf]

I was on their site a long time ago and pro prices were listed seperate but can't find it anymore,

[rshandyman]

Maybe it is only one product now the same for public and pro

 

[Smurf]

I don't really want to spend 20 odd k on specialist kit when I'm probably going to fully retire at the end of this year.

[rshandyman]

20 k? So in that case It will not become one of my services

 

[rshandyman]

I will contact them anyway maybe it is cheaper.There is not many people offering these services,advertised widely might become gold mine

 

[Smurf]

Last time I had a price of them was a few years back was about 7k for just a doff if I remember rightly.

 

[Smurf]

I would get a quote from this one first as looks better than the others http://www.restorativetechniques.co.uk/

 

[rshandyman]

I can imagine that with doff yoy can do driveways patio and so on as well.why that one is better?

 

[Smurf]

The doff was said apparently to be unrealiable so the chap left the company and designed a better one

 

[SPCleaning]

I know little of this staining other than there is an estate close to me that has a very similar red/pink staining on almost all the houses. The blame has been placed on the fact that the contractors building the property sourced sand from a private beach. The sand has high levels of salt which has caused the staining. Some home owners have had the render removed and replaced. They no longer have the red stains returning after the walls are painted.
