FAQs
How long should I leave the fungicidal wash on the surface?
The contact time can vary depending on the severity of the growth and the surface type. Generally, allow it to work for 15-30 minutes, but always refer to the specific instructions on the product label for the most accurate guidance.
Do I need to rinse the surface after application?
For most external applications like drives and walls, rinsing with water is recommended after the contact time to remove loosened growth. For some internal applications or specific surface types, rinsing may not be necessary or advisable; consult the product label.
Can I use this on wooden decking?
Yes, it can be used on wooden decking to remove algae and mold. However, it's crucial to test on a small, hidden area first to ensure it does not affect the wood stain or finish. Always rinse thoroughly.
Is it safe to use around plants?
While the product is designed to kill algae and fungi, it can also harm plants. Protect nearby plants by covering them or watering them down before and after application. Avoid direct spray onto foliage.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection (goggles or face shield), and a mask. Ensure good ventilation when using indoors. Avoid breathing spray mist.
How does the preventative action work?
The wash leaves a residual film on the surface that inhibits the re-establishment and growth of algae, lichen, and fungi, helping to keep surfaces cleaner for longer.
Troubleshooting
Green growth remains after application.
For stubborn or deeply ingrained growth, a second application may be necessary. Ensure the product was left on for the recommended contact time and that adequate scrubbing was performed if required.
Surface appears discolored after use.
This can occasionally happen on sensitive surfaces. Always perform a patch test in an inconspicuous area before full application. If discoloration occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and consider a gentler cleaning method.
Product is not spraying effectively.
Ensure your spray nozzle is clean and not blocked. If using a pump sprayer, check that it is properly primed. For brush application, ensure the brush is clean and in good condition.
