Protecting and maintaining your render

Overview

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential to preserve the new look of render. Similar to other external products, render requires periodic upkeep. The recommended frequency for cleaning is generally every six to 12 months, although it may vary depending on factors such as sun exposure, local land developments, and weather conditions.

Dirt acts as a nutrient for algae growth, which can deteriorate the texture of the render over time. Therefore, it’s crucial to remove dirt regularly to enhance the longevity of the product.

There are various methods available for cleaning render but using a domestic grade pressure cleaner on a low setting is recommended. It should be held approximately 30 centimetres away from the surface at a 45-degree angle. This method helps effectively remove dirt without causing damage.

In cases where stubborn dirt and grime are present, a scrubbing brush can be used along with warm water and a mild detergent. For more challenging cleaning tasks, especially those involving upper storeys, it’s advisable to seek assistance from a specialist.

Finally, it’s important to adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding cleaning and reapplication processes. Following these guidelines ensures that the cleaning is done appropriately, and any necessary reapplication of products is carried out correctly.
