One of the major problems with living in the Deep South is that algae grows almost everywhere, given our high humidity. Case in point: we had a shed built in our backyard a little over a year ago...and now the the white siding on it is starting to turn green and yellow with algae.
Pictured: not my shed.
It's easy to clean...we just use a little bit of bleach and a pressure washer.
But...how do they manage to keep algae off all of the "snow" surfaces (Expedition Everest, Blizzard Beach, Hogsmeade rooftops, etc) at WDW and Uni?
Unlike Space Mountain's roof, which is low and large enough that crew will strap on climbing gear to clean it every so often, a lot of these attractions are built in such a way that it would seem that instead of mere cleaning, an all-out refurb and new paint job would be in order, ala the Matterhorn.
Is there some type of coating they use to prevent algae from growing in the first place? Or do they actually have an overnight crew in climbing gear every so often to keep everything bright and white?
"Excuse me, sir? But would you mind laying back on this brush while you go down? Thanks."
