Fence Algae Remover: Keep Your Fences Free from Biological Contaminants

Is your fence suffering from biological growth such as algae, mould and fungi? Our range of algae remover products can be used on any hard substrate such as fences, patios, decking and walls etc, to keep them looking pristine and free from biological contaminants.

Fences are particularly susceptible to algae growth due to the perfect mixture of moisture, shade and sun which create the ideal breeding ground for biological growth to thrive. Being made of wood, however, these growths are not only unsightly, but also pose the risk of rot that can be expensive to rectify.

Our fence algae remover products are specially formulated to swiftly and effectively eliminate algae, whilst protecting the surface materials from damage.

Greener Kleener Algae Remover

Greener Kleener is an effective disinfectant and cleaner that eliminates 99.9% of bacterial growth. Formulated using HSE-approved biocides, the non-invasive ingredients target algae, mould, fungi and lichen and do not damage the substrate.

Free from bleach, acidic and caustic chemicals, you do not need to worry about the long-term effects on children, pets or plant life when used as instructed.

Greener Kleener gets to work within minutes of application and breaks biological growth down over time with natural cycles of sun and rain. Simple to use, just apply the formula to affected areas and leave it to evaporate naturally.

It can be used on any hard substrate as Greener Kleener does not contain any harsh chemicals that many bleach-based cleaners use. It will not oxidise or negatively impact on other components such as lead works, UPVC windows and seals, fixtures or fittings.

How to Remove Algae from Fences with GK Greener Kleener

1. Put on your protective gear

Biocides will naturally contain chemicals, and these could cause irritation to skin or damage to eyes so always make sure to wear protective gloves and safety glasses to reduce any risk.

2. Dilute the algae remover

The dilution required will depend on the severity of the green algae. GK Greener Kleener requires 2:1 dilution with water for heavy soiling and 3:1 dilution with water for light to medium soiling.

3. Carry out an initial test

Always carry out a test before applying any product to an entire area. This will ensure compatibility and performance for the perfect end result. We always recommend applying the product on a small, hidden portion of the fence.

4. Apply the product

Make sure your fence is dry before you apply the product. Use a soft brush to remove any excess algae. Then apply the GK Greener Kleener with a brush or a spray. Give the product time to work; we recommend leaving it on overnight.

5. Leave the product to evaporate

Once the product has worked, leave it to evaporate naturally. The product has a pH of 6 which is basically neutral so don’t worry about the effects on your garden.

6. Repeat the Process

In order to stop the algae from returning, we would advise implementing a cleaning schedule. Depending on the severity of the problem, repeat the process every 6 - 12 months.
