Your garden and the planet will thank you!This cleaner generally works very well and marks good value for money.

Knowing which type of algae that you are up against is the first step to fighting it, so we thought we’d highlight the most common algae found in aquariums and ponds- Blue-green algae This Algon cleaner is safe to use on wood and outdoor hard surfaces, which gives you lots of options for what you can clean. Some people like to use a pressure washer to blast out moss from between paving stones, and this can be quite effective, especially on wooden garden furniture. However it is also very messy and some of the excess water could get trapped in certain areas and make the problem worse.
You could also scrub the algae, moss, etc. off by hand using a hard brush of some kind but this is quite labour intensive.

Apart from being eyesores, mould and algae are also dangerous, more so in areas that are walked on regularly. And, since none of us fancy taking a tumble any time soon, these nuisances have got to go - pronto. Green algae is not only a slippery hazard, but will also damage the wooden surfaces that it grows on, eventually causing it to split and splinter, and it will stain paving stones if left for too long. Paving becomes green and slippery – as well as permanently embedded stained The concentrated formula is highly effective whilst being reasonably safe to use. It doesn’t contain bleach or acids, but kids and pets should still be kept away until the area is dry. Also, you’ll still need to take extra care when handling this solution, to avoid harm to your eyes and skin. Another of this product’s features is that it doesn’t specify sunny conditions to be essential for application. Although results might not be as effective, you can also clean your patio with this product in the winter if you want to. Biodegradable just means that you don't need to apply anything extra to make the solution safe once dry. How to clean your patio through the seasons?

Although the well known hot-tub brand, Lay-Z-spa, recommends clearwater for their hot tubs, I actually couldn’t find any directions on the bottle that referred to hot tubs in any way. I also didn’t test it in that way, so I can’t speak to its suitability or effectiveness in that department. For pools though, it’s a winner as far as I’m concerned.
