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? Drying Time: Algon Organic Patio Cleaner Concentrate requires a longer drying time, which can be inconvenient for those who need to use their patio or outdoor area soon after cleaning. Some algae, moss or mould removers contain strong bleaches, giving them a not so pleasant odour that can cause headaches. These products can also stain and discolour surfaces if you are not careful. However, these products are often the most affective at shifting growth, but not always so. If you’re worried about damaging your surfaces, go for a bleach free solution.

Is your water fountain looking a little worse for wear? Green water and slimy plant life slowly overtaking the garden feature that was one of your pride and joy? This product works by removing phosphate from the water, a nutrient on which algae thrive. It does this very effectively, and you will see a difference in the clarity of the water, but as you are removing nutrients from the water, you really need to keep monitoring the conditions in your tank during this process. Common in freshwater aquariums and garden ponds, blue-green algae are not something you want to let get out of control. Why not? Because, when they bloom, they can not only cover the surface in a slimy layer, but also create toxins that can harm your fish. Loss: However, this product may not be as effective on tougher stains as some other acidic-based cleaners.

Sandstone Cleaning Made Easy

But fear not, for you don’t have to walk into battle empty handed, and there are a ton of effective algae removers to choose from. Some are general purpose herbicides that will get rid of pretty much anything of any surface, while others are designed for a specific use, be it aquariums, patios, or water fountains.

Upon excavation, sandstone has a rough, craggy textured surface. It undergoes a levelling process to turn it into a smoother finish known as “gauging.” This makes it suitable for external applications, but not overly slippery. For use as flooring, the process is intensified to help achieve a smoother honed surface. Because the stone is relatively soft and easy to work with, for internal use, it is possible to literally polish the material to create a totally flat and shiny polished tile.

StoneCare4U have developed unique formulations to help clean, seal and protect all types of sandstone. Our acid-free cleaners allow the surface to be easily cleaned. Meanwhile, our impregnating colour-enhancing or matt finish sandstone sealers create a water-resistant barrier. An additional benefit of applying a specialist sealer is the UV resistance it provides. Importantly, this helps reduce colour loss and surface degradation. Once the correct sandstone sealer is applied, any algae will just form and sit on the surface of the sandstone rather than becoming ingrained. Above all, this enables any maintenance needed to be less frequent and far easier. Loss: However, due to the gradual working time, additional applications may be required to achieve full results. Before use, make sure no rain is forecast for at least 8 hours. On hot days, apply in the evening for best results. Ingredients: If you have a pet, you'll want to be particularly wary of the ingredients in your patio cleaner, so they're non-toxic to your furry friend. Many contain ammonia which is toxic, whilst others contain bleach, which you'll need to keep pets away from until it's completely dry. If you can keep your pet away from the patio whilst you wait for it to dry, those labelled as pet-safe or organic are a good choice. Alternatively, consider a pressure washer or wire brush tool that doesn't require chemicals. Always follow the manufacturer guidelines for use and wear protective clothing and goggles when using patio cleaners as they contain harsh chemicals. Take care in case of splashes and dispose of waste thoroughly after use to avoid harm to humans or the environment.
