FAQs

How long should I leave the product on the surface?

You should leave the solution to work for 2-4 hours. Do not allow it to dry completely on the surface. Always rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Can I use this on my wooden deck?

Yes, it is suitable for decking. However, it's always recommended to test on a small, hidden area first to ensure compatibility and to rinse thoroughly afterwards.

What protective equipment should I wear?

When applying this product, wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection to avoid skin and eye contact.

Is this product safe for the environment?

Sodium hypochlorite can be harmful to aquatic life. Avoid allowing the product or rinse water to enter drains, streams, or ponds. Rinse thoroughly to minimize environmental impact.

Can I use this on painted surfaces?

It is suitable for UPVC surfaces. For painted surfaces, it is crucial to test on a small, inconspicuous area first, as it may affect some paint finishes. Always rinse thoroughly.

How should I store the product?

Store the cleaner in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.

What is the best way to apply it?

The product can be easily applied using a standard garden spray bottle or a watering can for even coverage.

Troubleshooting

Product not removing moss/algae effectively.

Ensure the surface was dry before application and that the product was left for the recommended time (2-4 hours) without drying out. For very stubborn growth, a second application might be needed.

Surface appears discoloured after use.

This can happen if the product was left on for too long or not rinsed thoroughly. Always rinse completely with clean water. Test on an inconspicuous area first for sensitive materials.

Product has spilled on surrounding plants.

Immediately flush the affected plants with copious amounts of water to dilute the solution. Sodium hypochlorite can damage vegetation.

Rinse again thoroughly with plenty of clean water. Ensure all product has been washed away.
