Why the whitewashing? Is it just paint?
Well, whitewash is essentially hydrated lime mixed with water. Some people add salt and other things, but it’s mostly lime. When it’s sprayed, it’s more on the translucent side, but as it’s exposed to the air and dries, it calcifies and turns white. It’s kind of an old fashioned thing. Due to its PH being highly alkaline, it makes for a great disinfectant for barns. It helps with any bacteria, viruses, ammonia, fungus and mold. It is also effective at fly control and other critters like mites. This is important because our calves are housed in the barn year round. Things like ringworm can live in the wood and this will kill it. Will also help with preserving the wood. Neutralizing ammonia in the barn helps with overall air quality which is also essential for healthy calves and cows. In addition to all these hygienic reasons, it looks good. Old barns can tend to get a little on the dark side, and whitewashing truly brightens up the space. Certainly doesn’t last forever though!
You can totally make this yourself and paint it on. A recipe to follow is: 8 cups of lime and 2 cups of salt, to 1 gallon of water. We much prefer to hire a professional, but it’s totally possible to DIY it.
