Extreme Clean Moss & Algae Remover is a professional-strength patio and driveway cleaner designed to tackle the toughest outdoor growth. Formulated with 14–15% sodium hypochlorite, the same active ingredient used by professional exterior cleaners, this high-concentration solution rapidly breaks down moss, algae, green film, and surface lichen on various exterior materials. Suitable for concrete flags, block paving, brickwork, render, roof tiles, decking, and even garden furniture, it delivers deep cleaning results in minutes with minimal effort.

Supplied undiluted, this powerful cleaner gives you complete control over application strength. For stubborn black lichen spots or heavy moss build-up, it can be applied neat for maximum impact.

For regular maintenance, simply dilute with clean water (up to 6 parts water to 1 part cleaner) to keep patios, driveways, and paths fresh all year round. Visible results often appear within 5 to 15 minutes, brightening outdoor surfaces without heavy scrubbing or repeated pressure washing.

Manufactured in the UK under ISO 9001 quality standards, Extreme Clean Moss & Algae Remover is packaged in tamper-evident, UN-approved containers to ensure safe handling and storage. Contractors and homeowners trust the professional-grade formula to restore tired patios, paths, and hard landscaping to their original clean finish.

  • Flexible dilution: Use neat for heavy infestations or dilute up to 6:1 for lighter maintenance cleans.

  • Fast results: Visible cleaning begins in as little as 5–15 minutes.

  • Low-effort cleaning: Minimal brushing is required; simply apply and rinse.

  • Wide surface compatibility: Safe for most outdoor hard surfaces, including concrete, brick, stone, render, tiles, decking*, and garden furniture*.

  • Made in the UK: Produced to ISO 9001 standards and supplied in UN-approved, tamper-evident containers.

Ideal Uses

Extreme Clean Moss & Algae Remover is perfect for cleaning and refreshing:

  • Patios and paving slabs

  • Driveways and block paving

  • Brick and stone walls

  • Concrete paths, steps, and yards

  • Decking and garden furniture*

  • Roof tiles and exterior render✝

Always test on a small hidden area first. Follow local regulations and capture run-off where required.

Dilution & Coverage

The solution can be applied neat or diluted, depending on the severity of the growth. Coverage rates vary with surface porosity and texture.

  • Heavy black lichen or thick moss: 1:0 (neat), approx. 4 m² per litre

  • Moderate algae and moss: 1:3, approx. 7 m² per litre

  • Routine maintenance or light green film: 1:6, approx. 10 m² per litre

These figures are based on average-porosity paving at 10 °C. Very rough or highly absorbent surfaces require more product.

Storage & Shelf Life

  • Store in a cool, dark place below 24 °C. Heat and sunlight can release chlorine gas and weaken the solution.

  • Shelf life is 6 months unopened. After this period, potency may be reduced. Test older stock on a small patch and extend dwell time if needed.

Safety & Environmental Notes

  • Do not mix with acids or other cleaners cause toxic chlorine gas may be released.

  • Wear suitable PPE, including gloves, goggles, long sleeves, and waterproof footwea,r during use.

  • Rinse application equipment thoroughly with fresh water after use to prevent corrosion.

  • Divert or collect substantial run-off away from fishponds, water features, or natural watercourses and neutralise with plenty of clean water.

  • Classified as a reportable substance (>6% NaClO) under UK Explosives Precursors Regulations (2023). Trade users must retain purchase records.

Surface Preparation

  • Personal Protection: Wear gloves, goggles, long sleeves, and waterproof footwear before handling the product.
  • Pre-Wet Surroundings: Dampen grass, plants, and garden borders with clean water to protect them from splashes or overspray.
  • Cleaning Area: Remove loose debris, leaves, or heavy dirt to allow the cleaner to penetrate fully.

Mixing & Dilution

  • Heavy Growth: For thick moss, algae, or black lichen, apply the solution neat for maximum cleaning power.
  • Moderate Soiling: Dilute 1 part product to 3 parts water.
  • Routine Maintenance: For light green film or regular cleaning, dilute 1 part product to 6 parts water.
  • Stir Thoroughly: Mix the solution in a clean container to ensure even strength before application.

Application Method

  • Apply Evenly: Use a watering can, low-pressure sprayer, or stiff brush to coat the surface completely.
  • Dwell Time: Allow the cleaner to sit for 10–15 minutes. Do not let the surface dry out during this period.
  • Agitation: Light brushing on rough or heavily soiled areas can help lift embedded growth.
  • Rinse: Wash thoroughly with a garden hose or pressure washer to reveal a bright, clean finish.

Coverage

  • Heavy black lichen or thick moss: approx. 4 m² per litre when applied neat.
  • Moderate algae or moss: approx. 7 m² per litre at 1:3 dilution.
  • Routine maintenance: approx. 10 m² per litre at 1:6 dilution.

Drying & Reuse

  • Keep treated areas dry for at least 6 hours after application.
  • Light foot traffic can resume once the surface is fully dry, typically within 12 hours.
  • Keep children and pets away until the area is completely dry, ideally for 48 hours.

Pro Tips

  • Always test a small hidden patch first to check compatibility and strength.
  • Maintain a wet edge and work in manageable sections to avoid streaking.
  • Repeat treatment may be required for stubborn black lichen or long-neglected surfaces.
