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.

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.
