Today we were in Blackawton which is 5 miles west of Dartmouth in South Devon cleaning a motorhome (including the roof).
The motorhome did not look too dirty, but when we saw the roof we knew it was going to be difficult to clean.
See below photo of lichens on the roof.
First impressions when we arrived on scene was that it was going to be a relatively easy job to make this motorhome look like new.
However when getting on the roof, even though it looked quite white, we noticed large lichens on the front, the roof was covered in small black spots and moss was growing out of all the sills.
We quickly got set up and applied snowfoam to the roof and started brushing in with a water-fed pole brush to attempt to removed the lichens and black spots. We heated our water to 60 degrees Celsius to help with the removal of the biofilm.
With a lot of hard work and scrubbing, I managed to remove most of the black spots from the roof, however the lichens still remained.
The lichens were soo hard to remove. Even though we do not like to use a pressure washer on the roof of any motorhome or caravan, we decided this was the only way to attempt to remove the lichens (without biocides). Being careful not to pressure wash close to any roof vents or sills, we managed to remove the lichens from the roof. (Lichens can leave a mark by growing into the surfaces and leave permanent damage).
See below final results of the clean. Took us both 2.5 hours to clean and 1.5 hours travel.
