FAQs
How much area does a 5L bottle cover?
A 5-litre bottle of this concentrated cleaner can treat up to 170 square meters, depending on the dilution ratio used.
Can I use this on my wooden decking?
Yes, this product is safe for use on outdoor hard surfaces, including wooden decking, to treat mould and algae.
How long until it's safe for my pets to go on the treated area?
Pets and unprotected persons should be kept away from treated areas for 48 hours or until the surfaces are completely dry.
Do I need to scrub or pressure wash after applying?
No, the product is designed as a 'dilute, apply and leave to dry' solution. No scrubbing or pressure washing is required.
What should I do if it rains shortly after application?
If rain occurs before the treated surface has dried, the effectiveness may be reduced, and a second application might be necessary once the surface is dry.
Can I use this indoors?
The product is primarily designed for outdoor hard surfaces. While it is a disinfectant, it is not recommended for indoor use due to its formulation and safety requirements.
What is the shelf life of the product?
The product should be stored in its original container in a cool, dry place. While a specific shelf life isn't provided, it is best to use it within one to two years for optimal efficacy.
Troubleshooting
Green growth remains after initial application.
For stubborn or thick growth, a second application may be required after the initial treatment has dried. Ensure correct dilution ratios were followed.
Product appears to be ineffective on a specific surface.
Confirm the surface is listed as compatible. Ensure the product was applied correctly and allowed to dry without being washed off prematurely. Extreme weather conditions might affect performance.
Accidental contact with skin or eyes.
Rinse immediately with plenty of clean water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Always wear appropriate protective clothing during application.
