FAQs
Does this product require mixing with water?
No, the Black Spot Remover is supplied ready-to-use and should not be diluted.
Can I use this on decking?
This product is specifically designed for porous surfaces like stone and brick. It is not recommended for wood or composite decking.
Is it safe for pets?
Keep pets away from the area until the product has been fully rinsed away and the surface is completely dry.
How much area will 5L cover?
Coverage varies based on the porosity of the stone, but a 5L container is typically sufficient for a standard patio or driveway.
Do I need to scrub the surface after applying?
No, the formula is designed to work without manual scrubbing, though a light brush can assist on extremely heavy buildup.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn spots remaining after one application
Heavily stained or long-standing areas may require a second application. Ensure the surface is fully dry before reapplying.
White residue left on the surface after rinsing
This is often caused by incomplete rinsing. Use a high-pressure hose to thoroughly wash the surface again until the water runs clear.
