Clean It Up

I had a customer ask today could I powerwash some areas but not make them look brand new.
She's live in an old stone house and likes to keep the idea of it looking weathered but doesn't want the slippery moss. Also has some staining where water has run down the sides past the gutters.
Any ideas as to what I can recommend to remove the moss and staining but keeping the patina effect?
-
This will do the trick!

Lol, is that the 70bar version

Dunno mate, think there's more psi in me having a wee.

I have a product that i use for soft washing of listed buildings. Mix at 50:1 spray and walk away. Covers about 4/5 sqm per litre of mix depending on porosity of substrate . Algae and moss die within 12 hours and the cleaning takes place at is own rate over 3/4 months by the wind and rain...very gentle but also very effective.

That's sounds like what I'm asking. Its not a listed building (don't think) but I has similar properties.
What is this stuff, bought from?
-
I can send you some if you like £20 per litre plus post maybe a about £ 5 .That or you can collect
-
Kleeneze strikes again ;D

Yeah not going to happen at £20 per ltr, dont even know what the stuff is.
Also based in N.Ireland so collect is near impossible.
Whats the kleeneze gag?
-
£20 per litre . mix at 50:1 with water (very cheap) . Spray at 5m per litre. £20 =250sqm. Spray and walk away
How do you propose to do it if £20 is too expensive?
Smartarseal /Kleeneazeeeeee value for money! ;D

take no notice of them chris, liverpool, lancashire , next stop Manchester
-
I don't care! I have tried and tested products that make my life easy.The man had a criteria to be met ..i gave him a solution (literally!) to his problem. The cost was £20....it was too expensive !
-
£20 is not too expensive but I'm not prepared to pay out for a product that just you alone says it works.
Then a kleeneze gag is thrown in, which in my mind cast doubt, especially when someone like Blastaway (Lee I think) is saying it. Having met Blastaway and read his posts, i would be trusting his views first.
-
No problem ...no offence taken .Reading through the above posts i can see Lee has offered you some sound advice on products . Even offering advice on choice of equipment .;D ;D ;D
-
mwc, chris is only trying to help you out with his experience gained through his work,kleeneze and smartseal are just dealers in exterior cleaning sources. like ronseal , etc., these are companys that offer these cleaning solutions. you must have similar companys in ireland offering similar products saving on postage etc.

Bought the Brodex pole off you, met you at M6 services before I mover over to N.Ireland.
I've nothing against any advice being given but someone saying I have something for £20 and I have no idea if it will work or any other reviews to read, I'm not just going to try it on a whim.
I could put yellow snow in a cup and tell you its lemon flavor slushpuppie.

Have you got a mobile number? I'm working at this property tomorrow so will see what the lady wants to do. I've no probs with the price as long as the products works, hence if you offering a sample for her to try, that would be good. What I want to avoid is buying a product and selling it to a customer and it lets me down.
