How can I get rid of algae and moss on my paths and patio?


Our Advice:

Algae is a problem on hard surfaces, making them treacherous underfoot in damp weather and is always bad after a wet winter. Treat the areas with Vitax Easy Clean or Path, Patio and Decking Cleaner from Doff to remove algae and moss on the surface. Just brush away the debris after a few days.
