Its key benefit is the powerful, no-scrub formula that restores natural beauty and inhibits regrowth.

FAQs

Do I need to scrub the patio after applying the cleaner?

No, the Dirtbusters Pro Patio Cleaner is a 'spray and leave' product. It is designed to break down algae, moss, and mould without the need for scrubbing or rinsing.

How much area can 5 litres of this cleaner cover?

The highly concentrated formula can treat between 100 to 300 square meters once diluted, depending on the concentration used for light or heavy cleaning.

Is the cleaner safe for plants and pets?

Once the treated surface is completely dry, it is safe for pets. It is advisable to protect nearby plants during application by covering them or rinsing them with water after the cleaner has had time to work. Avoid direct contact with plants when the solution is wet.

How long does it take to see results?

Visible results typically appear within a few days to a week, depending on weather conditions and the severity of the growth. The product continues to work over time, and its protective qualities help prevent re-growth.

Can I use this on my wooden decking?

Yes, the Dirtbusters Pro Patio Cleaner is suitable for use on most outdoor wood surfaces, including decking, to remove algae and moss.

What is the best way to apply the diluted cleaner?

You can apply the diluted cleaner using a standard garden sprayer or a watering can for even coverage across the surface.

Does this cleaner kill moss and algae, or just clean it off?

The formula is designed to kill and break down the algae and moss, making it easier to remove, and it also contains properties to help prevent future re-growth.

Troubleshooting

Product not visibly working after initial application.

The cleaner works over time. Allow several days for the algae and moss to break down. Reapplication may be necessary for very stubborn or old growth after the initial treatment period.

Uneven cleaning results.

Ensure the diluted solution was applied evenly. Overlap passes with the sprayer or watering can to cover the entire area thoroughly. Check that the correct dilution ratio was used for the level of cleaning required.

Surface remains discoloured after treatment.

Stubborn stains may require a second application. For severe cases, gentle brushing might assist after the product has had time to work, but avoid aggressive scrubbing.

Diluted solution is too weak or too strong.

Always follow the dilution guidelines on the product packaging. Adjust the amount of water based on whether the cleaning task is light or heavy. Too little concentrate may lead to poor results; too much may be wasteful.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Dilution: The Dirtbusters Pro Patio Cleaner is a concentrate and must be diluted before use. Mix the required amount of cleaner with water in a watering can or garden sprayer. Refer to the product packaging for specific dilution ratios, which vary based on the level of infestation (light, medium, heavy).
  2. Application: Apply the diluted solution evenly to the dry surface. Ensure good coverage of the affected areas (moss, algae, mould).

Compatibility:

This cleaner is suitable for a wide range of outdoor surfaces including:

  • Patios (brick, stone, concrete, paving slabs)
  • Decking (wood)
  • Paths and driveways
  • Brick walls and fences
  • UPVC (window frames, conservatories, garden furniture)
  • Caravans
  • Sheds
  • Roofs

Care:

  • Post-Application: Allow the product to work naturally. Avoid rinsing immediately after application, as this can wash away the active ingredients. Rain will not typically affect the treatment once it has had time to start working.
  • Drying: Once the treated area is dry, it is safe for pets. Ensure pets and children are kept away from the wet solution.
  • Storage: Store the product in its original container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
