Product Information

Full details

The DIY Dave Fungicidal Wash is a powerful biocidal cleaner designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to tackle biological growth on various outdoor and indoor surfaces. Its key benefit is its potent formula that effectively removes mould, mildew, algae, lichen, and dirt, while also offering protection against regrowth for up to six months. A potential caveat is that it is a professional-strength formula and may require careful application to avoid damage to sensitive surfaces.

FAQs

How long does the protection last?

The DIY Dave Fungicidal Wash can prevent the reappearance of unsightly regrowth for up to 6 months.

Do I need to dilute the product?

No, the product is a professional strength formula and is ready to use straight from the container. No dilution is required.

Can I use this product indoors?

Yes, this product is versatile and can be used on internal walls and surfaces, provided there is adequate ventilation during and after application.

What surfaces can I use this on?

It is suitable for patios, brick, stone, mortar, paving, tiles, plastics, and wood. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate materials.

How should I apply the product?

Apply using a brush, roller, or low-pressure sprayer. Allow it to dwell for at least 15-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.

What personal protective equipment should I wear?

It is recommended to wear gloves and eye protection during application to avoid skin and eye contact.

Should I rinse the product off?

Yes, after the recommended dwell time, the treated area should be rinsed thoroughly with water.

Troubleshooting

Product not removing growth effectively

Allow a longer dwell time, or apply a second coat. For very stubborn growth, gentle scrubbing with a stiff brush may be necessary before rinsing.

Surface appears discoloured after use

This is rare but can occur on sensitive materials. Rinse the area thoroughly with water. Perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area before treating larger sections.

Product is difficult to rinse off

Ensure you are using sufficient water pressure for rinsing. Stubborn residue might indicate the product was left on for too long without adequate rinsing, or the surface is highly absorbent.

Regrowth appears sooner than expected

Ensure the surface was completely clean and dry after treatment. Environmental factors can also influence regrowth speed. Ensure the full 6-month protection window was not compromised by subsequent treatments or extreme weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the target surface is dry before application. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection. Apply the wash using a brush, roller, or low-pressure sprayer. Allow the product to work on the surface; a minimum of 15-30 minutes is recommended, or longer for stubborn growth. For best results, rinse the treated area thoroughly with water after the recommended dwell time. For internal use, ensure good ventilation during and after application.

Compatibility: This wash is compatible with most common outdoor and indoor surfaces including patios, brick, stone, mortar, paving, tiles, plastics, and wood. Avoid use on very delicate or porous materials without a patch test. Do not use on fabrics or carpets. Ensure surrounding plants are protected from overspray.

Care: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets. Ensure the container is tightly sealed. Clean application tools immediately after use with water.
