I have a 80 year old stucco house I am giving a quote on. I did a test patch with a detergent I would normally use. It worked well. But needed to be worked in with a soft brush, it still left a little mildew in the pores.
I want to use as little pressure and brushing as possible. The surface is strong, the good old true stucco. But it's design is very wavy with a sandy like outer surface. If you rub your hand across it some of the sand particles come loose, which seems normal.
I was considering a chlorine test patch, figuring it would get into the pores and get the mildew out with very little pressure or brushing.
Any ideas?
Also I was talking to Craig from PW/Unlimited and he brought up a good idea! However with out a solution yet. Is there a way to add a scent to the chlorine mix to ease the smell. I was thinking something like a strong citrus.
Even if it does not get rid of the smell all together it may alter it to the point of bearable.
