White spotting on block paving
« on: March 18, 2021, 01:28:56 pm »
Hi all,

On a 2 day job and have come across white spotting on block having. Put a 7% hypo mix on it and so far I can’t see any change.
Anyone know how to shift this?

Thanks

usually does the trick - try stronger dose - just double check its not white stones in the paving itself

Do you hypo before pressure washing? Or pressure wash then hypo?

Thanks Darren

Pressure wash first then hypo usually.

Then rinse, or turbo ...

yes as above pressure wash first - then hypo  otherwise your using hypo on dirt that is not cleaned by using hypo + things like black spot and slightly lesser white spot form a hard shell that chemicals find hard to penetrate if you turbo it breaks this shell allowing hypo inside and destroys the lichen much more effectively
