attleej Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Dear All, We are re-commissioning my 'big' trailer in order to be able to transport the Conqueror ARV from the REME Museum to MOD Lyneham. Unfortunately, there os quite a bit of green algae on it. Some of it will scrub off. I am reluctant to pressure wash as this might damage the paint, although I might try. Does anyone know of a product that will tale off green algae? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Domestos (diluted) will shift off brickwork , but if a sand or wired texture - then dead stuff remains , wire brish removes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a try with warm water and a soft brush and/or rag. Hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The bodyshop that repaired my car, cleaned it like new. (it is parked under trees so lots of green on it everywhere.) They used a product called Cartec. It dissolves organic matter. They spray it on and a few minutes later it is washed with warm water. Ready. I don't know it they did pressure wash it.

Oh Five Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 For taking green growths off wooden steps my wife uses non-bio soap powder and a brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Herbert Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I have found that ordinary cheap washing up liquid works well but it will take the shine off paint. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
