Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and property managers seeking an effective solution for removing green organic growth from external hard surfaces. The StoneCare4U Essential Green Away offers a powerful, yet safe and biodegradable, microbiological biocide to eliminate algae, lichen, fungi, mould, and bacteria. A key benefit is its ability to be applied locally to problem areas, and while effective, it requires careful application near sensitive aquatic life.

FAQs

How long does the protection last?

The protection typically lasts for up to 12 months. Reapplication may be necessary if green growth begins to reappear.

Do I need to rinse the product off after applying?

No, you should not wash the product off. Allow it to dry completely on the surface; the green growth will disappear on its own.

What is the coverage rate?

With a 1:5 dilution, approximate coverage is 60-100m² per litre of mixed solution. Coverage can vary based on surface contamination and application method.

Can I use this on indoor surfaces?

Essential Green Away is designed for external hard surfaces and is not recommended for indoor use.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear gloves, suitable protective eyewear, a face mask, and clothing. Avoid applying near fish ponds or sensitive plants. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

What should I do if it rains soon after application?

If rain is imminent, it is best to postpone application. If rain occurs shortly after application and the product has not dried, its effectiveness may be reduced, and reapplication might be necessary.

Can I use this on wood or plastic surfaces?

The product is designed for 'external hard surfaces'. While some wood and plastic surfaces may be compatible, it is recommended to test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure no adverse effects.

Troubleshooting

Green growth is not disappearing after several days.

The concentration may be too low, or the growth is very stubborn. Try a stronger dilution (e.g., 1:3 or neat) or reapply after a week. For very stubborn growth on surfaces like roof tiles, manual dislodging with a hose or sprayer might be necessary.

Product seems to have washed away or lost effectiveness.

This can happen if rain occurred shortly after application. Ensure the product is allowed to dry completely on the surface. Avoid application if rain is imminent.

Slight damage or discoloration on a test area.

The dilution rate may be too strong for the specific surface. Try a weaker dilution or test on a different, less visible area.

Concerns about nearby plants or aquatic life.

Apply with extreme caution. Use a barrier if possible. Rinse off any accidental contact with plants immediately with clean water. Do not apply directly into or near fish ponds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure you wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves, protective eyewear, a face mask, and suitable clothing.
  2. Remove any loose debris from the surface to be treated.

Dilution and Application:

  1. Dilute Essential Green Away with clean water. A 1:5 ratio is recommended for low to moderate contamination, while a 1:3 ratio or neat application can be used for heavier contamination.
  2. Always test the chosen dilution and dwell time in a small, inconspicuous area first.
  3. Apply the mixture using a pneumatic garden sprayer or a watering can. Aim for a flood coat, applying in a sweeping motion to ensure complete coverage.
  4. A second pass may be needed for full saturation.
  5. Allow the product to dry completely on the surface; do not wash it off.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for external hard surfaces.
  • Exercise extreme caution when applying near fish ponds or delicate plant life. If accidental overspray occurs on plants, rinse them immediately with clean water.

Care:

  • Store the product in a cool, dry place.
  • Do not apply when rain is expected, as this will reduce the product's effectiveness.
  • After application, the treated area will naturally clean itself as the green growth disappears over days.
