It’s now 25% off, and can be used on everything from patios, roofs, bricks and paving stones, to artificial grass, tarmac and decking
It’s been a wet winter, but with spring on the horizon, now’s an ideal moment to get our outdoor areas ready for spending more time outside. If your paving slabs or patio are showing signs of green mould, lichen and algae, an effective cleaning product can help, and we’ve spotted one currently discounted on Amazon.
The Wet and Forget outdoor patio cleaner is a bleach-free solution described as “one of the best outdoor cleaners ever” by Nottinghamshire Live. It’s currently available on Amazon, reduced from £35.99 to £26.68 for a five-litre container, though if that’s too large, there’s also a two-litre bottle discounted from £21.99 to £14.99.
According to the manufacturer, users simply need to mix one part of Wet and Forget with five parts water, spray it onto the surface and leave it to work its magic, with no need to scrub, rinse or pressure wash.
The brand states that one 5L container can create up to 30 litres of cleaning solution and treat a surface area of 100-300 square metres. It’s also described as super versatile as it can be used on everything from patios, roofs, bricks and paving slabs, to artificial grass, tarmac and decking.
Customers have praised the outdoor cleaner, which boasts a 4.4-star rating from over 27,000 reviews. One buyer commented: “Wet and Forget is honestly one of the best outdoor cleaners I’ve ever used. I applied it to my patio, fencing, and the side of the house where mould and green algae always build up”, reports the Express.
Another was impressed with how quickly it worked, noting: “I just mixed this as per the directions and sprayed with a garden sprayer onto the surfaces affected. That was Sunday. By Friday, the green was completely gone! I had expected a far longer wait or to have to scrub the surfaces, but no. Very happy indeed.”
A third reviewer said: “This product is the best on the market and worth the cost. My fences have looked great for years with a treatment every five to seven years or so. Plus, unlike high-pressure cleaning, it doesn’t remove the pine wood treatment, meaning it is clean but not exposed to termite damage.”
However, some customers remained unconvinced. One wrote: “Did not find this sufficiently effective on removing algae from Indian stone flags.”
Elsewhere, the Wet & Forget Rapid Mould & Algae Remover Spray 2L is £49.99 at Lakeland. This is another product from the same brand, available in a two-litre bottle that claims to cover up to 200 square metres. It can be used on patios and garden paths and simply attached to your garden hose.
Another alternative is SCRUBB Exterior Liquid concentrate Algae & mould remover, £13 at B&Q. This five-litre bottle might be suitable if you need to cover a larger area, as it’s super concentrated and can be diluted up to a 1:10 ratio depending on the area to be cleaned.
It is said to work on any surface, from decks to tiles, plastic, glass and even roofs. The brand also says it’s fully biodegradable and surface safe.
