Important Notes:
– This product is not for use on lawns, flowerbeds, vegetable plots or around trees and shrubs.
– Keep people and pets away from the treated area for 2 days.
In general the following precautions should be taken:
- When using chemicals, protective clothing such as gloves, goggles, boots and overalls should be worn.
- Adequate ventilation is required when using chemicals in confined spaces.
- When using flammable materials; cigarettes, naked flames and other sources of ignition should be carefully controlled.
- When diluting acids, always add acid to water and not water to acid.
- Any clothing that is contaminated with chemicals should be disposed of safely.
- When using any chemicals, care must be taken not to damage, contaminate or stain any adjoining materials, landscaping or finishes.
- Care must be taken to protect personnel operating in the area of the cleaning from any injury or hazard created by the cleaning. The appropriate First Aid must be available.
- Before undertaking any cleaning operation, a trial should be carried out on a small, preferably inconspicuous area, to determine the effect of the chemicals before treating a large area.
TYPES OF ORGANIC GROWTH ON SHADED AREAS
- Algae – is a green film or powdery layer found on paving stones and stonework.
- Lichen – commonly grows on timber structures and paving stones. The colour can vary from orange to to silver and have a scruffy look.
- Moss – is found on all types of surfaces and can be very dense tufts of growths.
To treat, simply apply a solution and leave to work. Usually a maximum 50% solution will be more than effective on these types of growth.
Weed Control using Sodium Hypochlorite Patio Cleaner
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a weed-free surface. If organic material is allowed to accumulate on a surface it will only be a matter of time before weeds and other plants begin to grow. Weeds grow on paving through the sand joints by using the sand as a base to begin. When using the sodium hypochlorite as a solution for weed control, pay additional care to the joints to ensure success. Sodium Hypochlorite Solution is regarded as one of the best patio cleaners because it will also control weeds and will deter re-colonisation for a period of weeks, even months.
Guidance for using Sodium Hypochlorite – Pool Chlorine
Sodium Hypochlorite 10/11% is used for the routine control of bacteria and algae in swimming pools. For effective treatment ensure that the chlorine levels of the water are a level of 2-3mg/l (ppm). The levels must be maintained above 1.5mg/l (ppm) as a minimum. Once the chlorine has been applied the pH of the water must be adjusted to between 7.2 and 7.6 before use. We recommend these levels are routinely checked by using a pool water testing kit. When applying the Chlorine add at the point of best mixing, i.e. the water inlets and leave the filter running to ensure even distribution. All personal protective equipment must be used when handling this product.

I have been using Deep Blue for several years now. There are other similar products out there but I belief they are dearer. I have also found that Deep Blues price has been very competitive over the years as against using my over sixties discount card or promotions in the mainstream DIY or Gardening centres who only seem to carry minimal if any stock I am aware that bleach will do a similar job, but feel it is crude by comparisonFACT. This is a really good product that is capable of giving excellent results. Like many diy jobs preparation is imperative. If you have heavy mould, algae or moss either pressure spray, scrape or wire brush first I have a Wolf garden tool that takes different attachments one of which is a hard wearing wire brush that simply clips on. Yes, its not the pleasantest of jobs to do, BUT I have only needed to do it ONCE, several years ago. From my experience it is important to apply Deep Blue on a cool or mild, windless dry day with no rain forecast for the following 24 hours at least. I use it in the spring or autumn. Do not skimp, use the full strength 4 1 mix, a weak mix is false economy. You may find that your treated area dries up on the dark side, this seems to disappear quite soon, the solution really does seem to carry on working for many months.APPLICATION. I use a HoZelock 5 ltr Premium Plus garden spray when treating my roof as I find the pressure really gets the mix into and between the concrete tiles. I use a large watering can fitted with a weed sprout 3.50 from HomebaseDeep Blue rather than an ordinary rose when treating the patio. A small spray bottle or any old ,clean brush is also handy for any hard to get at areas where moss and mould often lurk. Suggest you wear waterproof gloves. You need to keep the kids and pets away for a few hours or so.HISTORY. We live in a bungalow with an L shaped roof and yes, I appreciate its a lot easier to treat a bungalow rather than a house roof due to its diminutive height. Our home was 1213 years old, similar in age and style to the surrounding properties, and being near the coast, already had a quite substantial amount of mouldalgaemoss growing on it. We spent two days removing as much of this as possible. With hindsight I could have got one of these contractors that pressure spray roofs,although they dont work cheap. I then sprayed it with a 4.1 mix of Deep Blue, this only took about three hours. And WOW a few of the locals really thought we had had a new roof fitted. It looks good. As the manufacturer states it carries on working for months, I agree with this. In fact this was done in October 2006, I never touched it again untill April 2010, and it was still looking good, this time it simple took three hours to spray as no moss had reappeared, there was no more preparation to do. I am generous with the spray as obviously you loose some due to the slope of the roof, I start at the bottom and work my way up..I intend to do another spray in a few ,months weather dependant as it is now almost three years again since the last treatment, it still looks good, and there is no moss at all, whereas the bungalow roofs around us are smothered in moss making them look years older.We have a fairly large front which is block paved, I must admit to neglecting this. However last July using my Wolf garden tool with its wire brush attachment I removed as much moss as possible and then late evening as the temperature cooled down I applied the Deep Blue using a watering can not one we use on plants fitted with the weed control rose. Seven months on and it is still weed free, but I intend to treat it again in the spring. It is also a bonus that apart from killing the weeds etc, it brings the blocks up like new. I always order well in advance, but credit to Deep Blue my last order arrived in under 48 hours. Impressed.UPDATE. I managed to give the roof another spray in between the changeable weather conditions that we have been experiencing. I used a cool, dry, windless day in mid May 2013, and gave it a thorough spraying,this time with a slightly stronger 3.5 to 1 mix. It looks better than ever showing up against the surrounding properties even more. It seems to be building a resistance to moss and algae with continuous coats even though they are spaced out over the years,as there was not a trace of anything at all on my roof except for the odd bit of bird dung I used just four 5Ltr cans for this.I have on the 1st June 2013 given our block paved front a good soaking using a 4.1 mix, it was a cool dampish day but rain free, and as correctly forecast staying dry for a good few days afterwards. I confess to using seven 5Ltr cans of Magic for this, costing 126, but it has been eleven months since the last application, and some weeds were just beginning to grow through again. Everywhere locally is knee deep in weeds due to the weather being favourable for them and I would imagine that aged Block Paving is one of the toughest materials to keep weed free Having said that our front is really looking good now, and theres not a weed in sight.

Wow, I was a little sceptical about using a product like this but this stuff really work well. My natural stone large patio area was constantly covered in green mold and it was very slippy.I would power was it and within a week it would be back. With a day of using this product I saw the mold going black and the only thing thasts on my stones now is mud off the kids shoes. Its also become so much easier to quickly was down.

Each year I Jet wash my light coloured stone patio 3 times taking 3 hours a time, within a week they have a slightly green tinge, within a month I wonder why I bothered.This year after jet washing, applied a generous treatment and 6 weeks later they are as clean as the day I jet washed them.Will treat 2 3 times a year and save

We cant tell if works yet. Tried on our patio but have not seen anything happen yet. I hope that it works quicker than it says on the label. Six to twelve months is a long time
