Before applying Moss-Go clear the area. Remove any furniture, pots or other items from the surface so the cleaner can get to work. If possible sweep the area to remove any loose debris.

Step 2: Apply

Shake the Moss-Go bottle well before use. Spray the cleaner over the affected area making sure to cover all the algae and mould. For larger areas you may need to work in sections so the cleaner doesn’t dry before it can work. We recommend applying at a ratio of 1:5 with water for general use.

Step 3: Wait

Leave the cleaner to sit and soak in This waiting period is important as it allows the formula to get into the algae and mould, break down their structure so they can be easily removed. Moss-Go contains a unique blend of surfactants that allow it to penetrate deep into the algae and mould debris.

For really tough stains you may need to agitate with a stiff bristled brush. This will help lift the algae and mould from the surface and make the cleaner more effective.

Step 5: Repeat if needed

In some cases you may need to apply again, especially if the growth is heavy. Repeat as needed to achieve the results.
