Hi, new to this forum. I'm looking for help with a stucco house.
I have a job at 3 story residential stucco house coming up. Its definitely stucco. The stucco has dirt and algae on it. The house is old and the stucco is too. I would describe the stucco as rough compared to the stucco I've cleaned on newer homes. I usually increase (add) the strength of the SH in my mix for stucco. My mix for stucco is a five gallon bucket with 2-3 gallons of SH, half cup of liquid laundry detergent, half cup of Mr. Clean and 3 gallons of water. None of the stucco houses I've cleaned in the past have been this dirty and they are usually only stucco in the front and the rest vinyl.
Can I discolor, lighten or harm the stucco by going too strong with the SH in my mix? By strong I mean,3 or more gallons of SH and rest of five gallon bucket water.
Would I be better off using Elemonator in my Mix instead of laundry detergent and Mr. clean?
I've searched this and other forums to find the answer to my question with no luck. I would appreciate any advice, tips or warnings you guys/girls have on cleaning stucco.
I am using a 4 gpm belt driven cold water machine.
