Product to remove moss from patio and walls??

Jeyes fluid which might not be eco friendly either but personally ICGAT

Pressure washer. No chemicals. Make sure the spray hits at an angle, and from not too close, to avoid the risk of cleaning your pointing out as well.

Jeyes Fluid kills it dead, although EC regulations now forbid them from promoting it on tin. Like Curprinol it does what it says on the tin & MORE!

That's the one. Quick, easy, eco-friendly and cheap.

... and anyway, water play's fun..... :-)

thanks guys

pressure washer would take ages , and use so much water that you can really call it eco freindly . I heard somewhere that caustic soda is effective , but not sure abou its effects on the area , staining for instance

SHH!

I didn't want people to think I could be so undignified as to play :-)

Wear wellies. If they're mucky when you start they can be clean when you finish ...

I just checked back on the thread; Jeyes is very effective, and, I understand safe; I'm told it degrades into fertiliser, hence it's main use as weedkiller.

Why not patio cleaner, from a shed. It's only acid, so will wash away without residual toxicity.... I theeeeenk.

(Its also a good bog cleaner)

As in Washing, Ironing, F...ing, Etc.?

It doesn't. You'd be surprised t how fast it is.

It leaves no deposits and doesn't harm the ecology.

If you don't want to make any impact leave the growth alone ...

Nasty stuff.

Your wife fishes ?

In my wallet usually :-)

I always thought it wa Washing, Ironing, Food, Etc.... (with your version of F included in the "etc").

Presumably the Jeyes fuid need diluting ?

To what concentration ?

Used pressure wash my patio, takes ages and you get wet. Now use the Thompson Patio Cleaner around March time. Sprinkle on, brush in, leave a bit, cup of tea, brush a bit more, another cup of tea and wash it off. Also doesn't remove the suface of the patio like the pressure washer does. With the pressure washer the water run off was the same colour as the patio stones, which can't be good.

Hi,

Have you tried a 'Dirtblaster' (rotating) jet? A lot better than the standard one.

cheers, Pete.

Got a three "lances" with my pressure washer, straight single point jet, fan and rotating point jet. I was using the rotating point jet as it covers the largest area, but still takes ages on a large patio. The instructions for the patio stones (Bradstone I think, left by the builders as part of their care package, nice !!!) say you can pressure wash but not too vigorously and not too often (every couple of years !!). I found the pressure washer was definately removing the surface of the stones, the run off water was same colour as patio, which is why I switched to the patio cleaner which is easier, quicker and less wet (for you) than the pressure washer.
