Cleaning EIFS Synthetic Stucco on Your Building or Home
Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, commonly regarded as EIFS synthetic stucco, is a kind of insulation and exterior finish applied to buildings. It is constructed from foam insulation board that has been given a synthetic stucco surface. A step-by-step procedure for cleaning EIFS synthetic stucco is provided below:
Step One
Begin by gathering the required tools and supplies. A pressure washer, a soft-bristled brush, a light detergent, and safety equipment like goggles and gloves are required.
Step Two
Start by using a soft-bristled brush to sweep away any loose dirt and debris from the synthetic stucco’s surface.
Step Three
Next, follow the manufacturer’s directions when combining water and a mild detergent. The detergent needs to be made especially for synthetic stucco.
Step Four
Starting at the top and working your way down, pressure wash the Exterior Insulation and Finish System with the cleaning solution. To prevent harming the surface, be careful to use a low pressure setting.
Step Five
Give the cleaning solution some time to penetrate and loosen debris and grime by letting it rest on the stucco.
Step Six
Remove all traces of the cleaning agent by carefully rinsing the surface with clean water and a pressure washer (200 psi or less is recommended).
Step Seven
Before using any additional treatments or finishes, let the Exterior Insulation and Finish System completely dry.
Note
It’s vital to remember that this method might not be successful in eliminating stains or discolouration from synthetic stucco finish that have penetrated deeply. When this happens, it could be necessary to seek the advice of a professional for more sophisticated cleaning techniques.
