Before any cleaning process can begin, you first have to understand why the render on your external walls looks the way it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if yours are green, then you're going to need to understand why your rendered walls have turned green before you start render cleaning<\/a>. And the secret?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organic growth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And yes, it's about as unpleasant as it sounds. Still, with companies like Wash Your Walls<\/a> around, you don't need to worry about dealing with these organic growths yourself. Oh no, we can handle all that for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But before we talk you through how we can help, let us explain why your rendered walls are suddenly suffering from green staining...<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you render walls, you expect them to protect your property and remain looking their best for years. K rend, monocouche, pebble dash - they all promise to look after our property, and that's why so many of us opt for rendered walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So when green stains show up all over the surfaces of our render and start ruining its aesthetic appearance, it can become pretty annoying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And the reason for those stains? Organic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organic growth is simply a catch-all term that describes any biological matter that grows naturally outdoors. Things like algae, moss, fungi, lichen, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don't worry if you're not familiar will all of those things yet. Unfortunately, you will be by the end of today's post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Organic growth can form naturally on rendered walls, especially if you have issues with hairline cracks where algae and other biological matter love <\/strong>to create a new home for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ready to learn more about the unsightly organic growth affecting your building? Then let's get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although organic growth is the catch-all term that explains why you're suffering with visible green stains on your render, the specifics really are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So let's take a look at the most likely suspects that are ruining renders all over the country, so we can take back our properties from the clutches of the green stain army that's plaguing them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Algae growth is the number one suspect. Algae are becoming more and more common on rendered walls nowadays because our environment is cleaner than ever before and pollution is lower, so it's easy for algae to grow and stick around on any exposed surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Airborne algae spores simply land on outdoor surfaces and make themselves a new home, where they're able to reproduce and (most importantly for homeowners) ruin the look of your render.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you're dealing with leaks or blockages that might cause dirty water to stream down the outside of your building, then the next stage is almost certainly algae growth, so dealing with any building maintenance issues is important too, to prevent future problems. Once these structural issues are handled, then removing algae and render cleaning can begin. You can check out our post on how do you remove algae from render<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don't worry, though, algae growth doesn't threaten the integrity of the render or the building beneath it. Properties can be left untreated without risk of damage, but your kerb appeal will be all but ruined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To restore your render to its former glory, you will need to remove algae from the surface. But to remove algae is a complex thing, so we'll talk more about your options later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOrganic Growth Explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
