Softwash Chemical Cleaning Kills & Controls:

Algae Growth
Algae growth can appear as green red or brown areas of powdery deposits that may be slimy under wet conditions.

Lichens & Moss
Lichens & Moss feed on minerals & require light to grow. Lichens look like leathery incrustations on the surface. Mosses are usually green cushions/tufts.

Mould
Moulds live off organic material and don’t need light to grow. They appear as spots or patches in grey, green, brown or black.

Bacteria
Bacteria live off various food sources and can’t be seen with the naked eye. They do sometimes create discolouration on stone or metal surfaces.
