FAQs

Every 5 litre pack yields 30 litres of product to spray. Using one of our garden patio sprayers you will get coverage of between 100 – 300 square metres. Some surfaces e.g. painted surfaces will use less but porous surfaces readily absorb the product and therefore coverage could be in the range of 100-150sq m.

Yes. For instance if the contamination is extreme, increase the strength for a quicker reaction. However, if you have cleaned the surface previously with Wet & Forget and you want to give it just a maintenance spray, you can decrease the strength if the contamination is light. The cleaning process will still be as effective.

Wet & Forget can be used on an extensive range of outdoor surfaces including tarmac, concrete, decking, roof tiles, Astroturf, bowling greens, bricks and paving, canvas tents, caravan awnings, conservatories, fibreglass boats, greenhouses, golf greens, limestone, sandstone, marble, outdoor furniture, outdoor pots, outdoor painted surfaces, pool surrounds, shade sails, slate, tennis courts, yacht sails.

Ideally, remove any excess debris. We don’t recommend washing the surface prior to application as Wet & Forget must be applied to a dry surface.

On a cool dry windless day, when no rain is expected for 4-5 hours. Often the evening is best when evaporation of the product is minimal. This will ensure that the surface to be treated stays wet with Wet & Forget for an extended period.

Once the surface is clean and dry, you can paint or stain over Wet & Forget. Wet & Forget is great for extending the life of the painted surface as it not only removes moss, mould, lichen and algae, but also the surfactant action helps remove dirt and other residue that could cause fading or chipped paint. Spraying your outdoor house surfaces annually with Wet & Forget will extend the life of your paint and keep paving looking fresh and new.

Thoroughly saturate the surface with Wet & Forget on a cool, dry day. Late in the day is best. Leave the growth to start decomposing for 2-3 weeks (the longer the better!) then prior to painting or staining, gently pressure wash the surface – growth, dirt and residue will come off faster and easier. The surface will also be sterile reducing possible contamination of the new paint with algae and fungi.

No, Wet & Forget is fine if left in the spray container as it does not deteriorate or go off when it has been diluted. Plus it will not damage your garden sprayer as the product is not corrosive.

Although Wet & Forget doesn’t contain bleach or ammonia we recommend keeping your animals off the treated surface until it is dry, to ensure they don’t ingest any of the product. If they accidentally walk or sit in the product wash their feet and bottoms with fresh water as a precaution.

Not unless you are directly spraying it onto the plants. If you accidentally do this, then rinse the plants down with water from the hose, or better still, protect them with paper or plastic to avoid overspray.

Wet & Forget has an unlimited shelf life so it will last forever in its container! Natural light does not damage the efficiency of the product. For safety, always keep the cap on tightly and the container out of reach of children.

How long Wet & Forget takes to work is totally dependent on the intensity of the contamination of mould, algae or lichen. For mild contaminations, results can be seen in days. For more stubborn infestations Wet & Forget can take approximately 2-3 months to see improvements. In very severe cases of contamination it may take 6-12 months to work. The good news is that when Wet & Forget is used again the following season, the clean up results will occur within weeks!

Most definitely! But if your deck is older and has never been cleaned, it may be noticeably blackened with the contamination. In this case, it would be advantageous to wait a month after the application of Wet & Forget and give the area a light brush with a broom or scrubbing brush with warm water to remove it. The good news is that you should only have to do this once and then the maintenance becomes so easy.

Generally, for most applications you want to get a good mix between water and Wet & Forget. A ratio of 5 parts water to 1 part Wet & Forget will usually suffice.
