Can dashed walls be cleaned without losing the chipping?

Yes. Dash is never cleaned at high pressure. It is softwashed with specialist detergents that remove fungal growth and red algae from marble chipping dash, Therling dash and other smooth or textured finishes, leaving the chipping intact.

How is moss removed from a roof?

The moss is scraped off first, then a biocide is applied to treat what remains in the joints and slow regrowth. The roof is then washed at low pressure. The method is suitable for all roof types.
