Looking for rust stain removal for stucco in your area? We look at the surface first, choose the right method and pressure for it, and give you a price before any work starts. For stucco, that means soft wash.
Method and pressure
Cleaning solution: A diluted house-wash solution with surfactant, given time to dwell, then a gentle rinse.
What to know about cleaning stucco
Traditional stucco is porous and holds moisture, which is why it streaks green and black in humid and shaded spots. Hairline cracks are common, and high pressure can force water into them or break off the finish coat.
Avoid: High pressure, which can etch the texture, blow out patches and push water behind the wall.
How often: Every 1-2 years.

Do you use high pressure for rust stain removal for stucco?
For stucco: soft wash only, typically under 500 PSI. What we avoid: high pressure, which can etch the texture, blow out patches and push water behind the wall. The cleaning solution does most of the work, followed by a gentle rinse.
Is rust stain removal for stucco safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule rust stain removal for stucco?
Every 1-2 years. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do, and sealers and stains need dry weather to cure. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
