Green mildew on stone steps
« on: March 08, 2013, 10:35:04 am »
It comes off fairly easily with scrubbing but I'm wondering what the best treatment would be to stop it coming back, or at least prevent it coming back so quickly.

1.  Seal the stone to get it off even easier!
2,  If you want to stop it altogether find the source and eradicate it!

Ta - I think the source is going to be difficult to remove, judging from pics,  but sealing is probably the way forward. I'm always favourably inclined to the solution which results in a sale  :)

Why where is the source?  You have the advantage of having seen the Pictures!

We've been using a product called Green to Clean, it is highly effective at removing and preventing moss, bacteria, lichen, algae, fungi, viruses and mould on all hard external surfaces, prolonging and protecting new and old surfaces, helping to reduce safety hazards and even brightening & cleaning as it goes. It also makes a very effective patio cleaner and driveway cleaner.

All you need to do is spray and walk away, within a few days you will see it start to work.
