Stained Cladding
« on: September 22, 2012, 02:09:59 pm »
Really stuck with a job and need some help ASAP!

Doing a large cladding clean, similar to jobs we have done previously, however we have come unstuck.

Cladding is powder coated aluminium, with rubber dividing strips.

There is run marks/staining from the rubber, which just doesn't shift with tfr and water fed poles, so tried pressure washing, no difference!

Lee from BlastAway suggested some caustic with TFR, and that made a difference but required a LOT of pressure, and simply would not be possible to clean the 1500sq/m of cladding using this method. Even from a cherry picker it would take weeks to complete.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

have you any pictures of the surface, i have a couple of suggestions but only try on a small area as a trial as some chemicals may react badly with the aluminium, i will email you my suggestions
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

I would recommend to use microcleaning hand pads to deep clean and remove the ingrained black marks or use Power soap with damp terry microfiber cleaning cloths which will remove the toughest black marks safely. never use tfr or caustic to remove blackmarks as they will cause detrimental damage to the surface, if i can be of any further assistance, just let me know.
Kind regards
