When we handle exterior mold & mildew removal for stucco in Cheyenne, WY, it comes down to three things: protecting your plants and property, cleaning with the right method, and walking the job with you at the end. For stucco, that means soft wash.
The right method for the job
Cleaning solution: A diluted house-wash solution with surfactant, given time to dwell, then a gentle rinse.
Cleaning stucco safely
Traditional stucco is porous and holds moisture, which is why it streaks green and black in humid and shaded spots. Hairline cracks are common, and high pressure can force water into them or break off the finish coat.
Avoid: High pressure, which can etch the texture, blow out patches and push water behind the wall.
How often: Every 1-2 years.
