Actiwash is an effective, Irish-made all-in-biocide which works to clean & preserve outdoor surfaces.
Actiwash is an efficacious and nearly pH neutral biocide suitable for the removal and control of unsightly organic staining (algae, lichen, fungi, mould & mildew) found on many outdoor surfaces. The powerful anti-microbial properties exhibited by the Actiwash formula slow down recontamination, thus providing lasting results.

How does Actiwash work?
Actiwash affects the proteins and cell membrane of microorganisms, consequently causing the release of nitrogen and phosphorus from cells. Where an apply and leave application is used, the processes of natural weathering work to eliminate the dead biofilm staining.
How long does the self-cleansing process (spray/brush & leave) take?
(1) Green algae stains should disappear within a week. (2) Red algae stains should disappear within 2-3 weeks. (3) well established dark staining can take several months to disappear. Gradual lightening of the surface contamination should be noticeable within the first few weeks and months following treatment. Note: Severe biofilms may require an additional application. However, this is not typically necessary. A brush agitation of the Actiwash solution is advisable on heavily contaminated areas.
