Wet & Forget Concentrate Moss & Mould Remover

Description

The best outdoor moss, mould, lichen, and algae remover that is safe to use on any outside surface is the original Wet & Forget concentration. It helps prevent the premature renewal of undesirable biological growth and eliminates problematic spores.

What it does
The original Wet & Forget concentrate contains a special blend of biodegradable selective fungicides that attack lichen, algae, moss, mould, and other types of biological growth. It attacks the growth right away when applied to a dry surface after being diluted with water. These fungicides help to lift and loosen biological growth in combination with a well chosen variety of surfactants, and then Mother Nature takes over. Over time, the weathering process gradually eliminates the decaying growth without harming the surface it has colonised.

Features

Wet & Forget concentrate:

  • Is non-caustic, non-acidic and bleach free.
  • Is an easy, do-it-yourself application.
  • Requires no scrubbing or water blasting.
  • Has a pH of 8 (Water has a pH of 7).
  • Is biodegradable.
  • Dilutes into your garden sprayer.
  • 5L bottle covers a minimum of 100sq metres (it makes 30L of product).
  • Has an unlimited shelf life both in its concentrate form and when made up in a garden sprayer.
  • Kills problem spores at the source and helps prevent premature regrowth.

Instructions

How to apply Wet & Forget

  • Sweep all leaves, dirt and other debris off the surface before application to allow for maximum penetration of the active ingredients.
  • Dilute one part Wet & Forget to five parts water (1:5) in a garden or backpack sprayer.
  • Spray the affected area to the point of saturation. Do not hose off.
  • Apply during overcast, dry conditions to avoid accelerated evaporation.
  • Do not apply if rain is expected in the next 12 hours.
  • Lichen requires a second application within 15-20 minutes of the first.
  • Keep children and pets off the treated surface until dry (normally 1-2 hours).
  • If badly contaminated, apply a second application one month after the first.

When to expect results with Wet & Forget

  • Algae will disappear within days.
  • Moss will turn brown within a few days and other light growth will decompose within a few weeks.
  • Black mould will noticeably improve within 4-6 months, however if the area is heavily contaminated it will take 6-12 months.
  • Lichen requires two applications within 15-20 minutes of each other and will take 8-12 months to decompose.

Note: It is normal for some treated surfaces to turn an orange/brown colour after application. This discolouration indicates a good result, however it is not permanent and will soon disappear.

Safety Information

Important

Please note:

  • Wet & Forget is not an instant product as it relies on the weather to help decompose the dead growth.
  • You cannot use the original Wet & Forget concentrate (blue) with the Rapid Application hose-end nozzle (pink). It will not work as the dilution rates are different!

Frequently Asked Questions

If I am on tank water can i use wet and forget?

You sure can, however you must disconnect the water supply to your tank for at least 10mm of rain or 2 good downpours to remove the concentrate. Wet & Forget has been used for over 25 years to treat biological growth on roofs.

How much wet and Forget will I need to clean my roof?

The average 3 bedroom tile roof is approx 150 sq metres, because of the undulations of the tile profile the actual area is a lot bigger. Therefore an average tile/concrete roof would require 2 x 5 litre bottles, depending on how porous the surface is and how much biological growth is present. For an average 3 bedroom tile roof with lichen you would require 3 x 5 litre bottles depending on the total area covered with lichen. For best results mix the Wet & Forget and spot spray the lichen, leave for 15 minutes and then respray the lichen and the entire roof to ensure the lichen absorbs the Wet & Forget thoroughly. The first application is to dissolve the waxy surface and the 2nd spray will then penetrate the lichen. For green moss and black mould one application is normally sufficient. Your roof will normally take between 6-12 months to come clean.

Will Wet and forget affect my pets ?

Keep your animals off the treated surface until the product is dry to ensure that they don’t lick any of the product. If they accidentally walk or sit in the product before it dries, wash the affected areas with fresh water as a precaution.

Will Wet and forget affect my plants?

Wet & Forget is okay to use around plants provided certain protective steps are taken. When spraying the product near plants, make sure to either cover them with a tarpaulin (or something similar) or alternatively, wash the plants down with water before and after applying the product nearby. The leaves of the plant may experience a slight discolouration or spot burn if they come into contact with the product for an extended period.

Can I change the ratios given in the instructions for wet and Forget?

Yes. If the contamination is extreme, increase the strength or apply a second application a month after the first. 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 just as effective.

Do I need to use Wet and forget all at once?

You don’t have to spray the entire area at once, just remember where you have stopped and started. The product is fine if left in the spray container as it does not deteriorate when it has been diluted. It will not damage your garden sprayer as it is not corrosive.
