Youtube video

SCRUBB Render and Painted Masonry Algae Remover and Inhibitor is an advanced formulation perfect for removing algae, mould, lichen, and green films from rendered walls and exterior painted masonry. It’s a fast working solution that can be sprayed onto the surface and left to work without the need of scrubbing.

This is a ready-to-use formulation, so it does not need to be diluted, and you can either apply it with a bucket and brush or with a low pressure sprayer. Before applying it, you want to remove any loose debris from the surface. This can be done with a brush or even a pressure washer. If you are using a pressure washer, allow the surface to dry fully before you apply the algae remover.

When applying the algae remover, you want to apply it at roughly 200 ml per square meter and leave it for 36 hours to work. Note, there may be some discolouration of the algae in the following days and the product will
continue to work for the coming weeks and months.

This is pet safe once dry and avoid contact with ornamental plants and lawns. It’s a fast and easy to use solution as you simply spray it on the surface and leave it. You don’t need to rinse it off and you don’t need to scrub it.
