Patio Magic! 16491 Concentrate: Ideal for Patios, Paths and Driveways (Kills Algae and Lichens), 2.5 Litres

Product Information

You’ll need to use a patio cleaner that specifically targets this type of mould. If it’s a concentrated product, you may have to use it neat to see results. Using a suitable patio cleaning fluid should also stop the mould from returning. To use this patio cleaner, dilute 1-part cleaner to 4-parts water, then apply with a garden sprayer or watering can. There’s no need for scrubbing or rinsing (which is always excellent news!). It’s not as concentrated as some, so five litres might not go as far as you think, but it gets rid of one of the main culprits of dirty patios exceptionally well. You will need to be patient, though – it can take up to four days to show the results. If your patio is in a very shaded and damp garden, I suggest you reapply Patio Magic once a year. If it’s in a sunny spot, apply between once a year and once every two years.

It is particularly ruthless on moss and algae and should spruce any drive or patio suffering from these. Based on my experience, mould, lichens, moss, and other similar organic matter won’t start to regrow for at least a year and possibly much longer if the patio is located in a sunny spot. It’s still abrasive to an extent, mind, so you’re going to want to protect your skin and clothing – and keep pets and kids clear.Lastly, there are products which don’t need rinsing. These can really save time and are so simple to use. After applying the solution, you simply wait for it to dry, and that’s it! No need to return to wash it off. This can be a great help if you’ve got other jobs to get on with. Cleaners with Long-Lasting Results Works on both hard and soft outdoor surfaces including plastic garden furniture, cushions and patios It reacts with other chemicals, where it can give off fumes. It can’t be mixed with weedkiller for example. It took about two weeks before I saw a noticeable improvement and about 45 days until the difference was striking.

A lot of product is needed for maximum benefit which makes this more expensive than others on the market Treat with a weed killer and/or a moss killer product (make sure they are allowed to dry before re-applying), ensuring the products soak into the patio and any gaps between the slabs.If there are stubborn spots that remain after treatment with our spray cleaner, try using an abrasive brush with Patio Magic powder sprinkled on it before washing well with cold water and soap. 6. Outdoor Furniture: Cleaning Tips Another of this product’s features is that it doesn’t specify sunny conditions to be essential for application. Although results might not be as effective, you can also clean your patio with this product in the winter if you want to. Patio Magic kills green mould and algae in 2-4 days and continues to clean the treated surface in the following months. As a result, the effects of the product last between six and twelve months after the initial application.
