Chemical cleaning
As with water pressure cleaning, chemical solutions are available in a wide range of strengths
for cleaning. Substrates infected with special stains not removable with plain water can be
chemically cleaned. These cleaners include mild detergents for mildew removal and strong
organic cleaners for paint removal (Figs. 8.10 and 8.11). Chemical cleaning formulations
include three types, all of which include a manufacturer’s proprietary cleanser:
