Mould… only a memory! House washing in St Lucia

Around Brisbane we see many buildings and homes with mould issues. You’ve probably heard of black mould but there are more than one hundred types of mould commonly found in and on homes, which can appear green, yellow, brown, grey or even white.  It can be hard to identify mould by its appearance as it can vary due to many factors including the surface it is growing on. It is often found growing on the roof, eaves, and interior or exterior walls of buildings. But never in your fridge 😉  Not only can mould look unattractive, it can do a lot of damage to your property too. Mould comes from the family of fungi. Some diseases of animals and humans can be caused by ingesting or inhaling mould spores or toxic compounds produced by moulds. Some symptoms can be skin rashes or respiratory difficulties and it is best to consult a doctor in this case. For this reason, our professional building cleaners & house washing experts at Get It Clean have a specialised treatment plan for removing this unsightly problem from your property.

  1. Using PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) including gloves and mask we spray on our mould removal cleaning solution and scrub your building with brushes to remove mould and other building dirt and grime.
  2. We thoroughly rinse to restore your building or home to a ‘mould free’ state!

Early intervention is definitely a key strategy when it comes to exterior building mould removal, and will save you money in the long run.  Call Get It Clean now to rid your property of mould and free expert advice on how to deal with this unpleasant and unwelcome guest!

Bat Dung Building Washing

Operation Bat Dung! Building Washing in Hamilton

Have you noticed piles of faecal material (like the one in the photo) around your building or home? If so then you probably have bats! You will notice also that the faeces may have a shiny speckled appearance (from all the insect wings) and will crumble like dust when touched.

Guano is another term used for bat droppings.  Bat guano carries fungal spores that cause Histoplasmosis which can be fatal to humans. Histoplasmosis is contracted as a result of inhaling faecal dust matter from the droppings.  Bat guano must be handled similarly to asbestos since the threat of disease is high. Our professional building cleaners at Get It Clean have a very specific plan of action when it comes to removing the guano.

  1. Use appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), including a HEPA filter mask.
  2. Wet down the affected area with a specially made microban germicidal cleaner concentrate and allow it to break down the guano.
  3. Our building washing team will wash away all the matter and thoroughly rinse all affected surfaces to restore your building to a bat guano free building!

Buildings where bats have resided in or around for years can suffer incredible damage from guano and urine left behind.  The key to minimal damage is regular cleaning and maintenance. Get It Clean, Brisbane’s premier house washing and commercial building washing company, is happy to advise you if you have a problem like this or provide you with a quotation to have it removed.

Shutters building washing

Shutters @ Nundah, A Great Option For Windows…And YES! We Clean Them

Want privacy, while still allowing air flow through your home or business? Shutters are a good looking, practical option for your windows. Best of all they are relatively low maintenance…. And that is where we can help you.  Every now and then they do need a good clean to get off accumulated dirt, mould and shot-gun algae, even dreaded bat poo. Our house washing professionals clean many types of shutters such as Thermoshield, Plantation, Vista, Timber and PVC. They also use several techniques depending on the type of shutters you have. In the case of these Thermosheild shutters in the picture our house washing professionals at Get It Clean have a two part shutter cleaning process:

  1. Spray on our custom made shutter cleaning detergent and leave it for 5 minutes to do its work.
  2. Brush and rinse thoroughly for an excellent result.

To remove shot-gun algae we used white sponge treatment which brings the shutters up beautifully. To reinvigorate and get your shutters to sparkle like new call us now on 0404 802 530 and we can have a house washing specialist visit you for a quote.
