Remove Algae from Concrete in 5 Simple Steps
Once you have your algae remover product to hand, you can remove all biological growth from your concrete and, with scheduled, regular cleaning, keep it gone for good.
1. Put on Protective Gear
Biocides contain chemicals that could cause irritation to skin or damage to eyes. Make sure to wear protective gloves and safety glasses to reduce risk.
2. Dilute the Algae Remover
The dilution required will depend on the severity of the biological growth. Our GK Greener Kleener requires 2:1 dilution with water for heavy soiling and 3:1 dilution with water for light - medium soiling.
3. Carry Out an Initial Test
Always carry out a test first to ensure compatibility and performance for an acceptable end result. We recommend applying the product on a small, hidden portion of the surface.
4. Apply the Product
Make sure your external surface is dry, then you can apply the product with a brush or spray. For the best results, use a broom to remove excess, bulky growth before applying the product. Leave the product to work, ideally overnight.
Let the product evaporate naturally.
Greener Kleener is a natural surfactant cleaner, so will foam vigorously when applied by brush or spray, this is a great indicator to ensure all areas are treated.
5. Repeat the Process
In order to stop the algae from returning, we would advise having a cleaning schedule. Depending on the severity of the problem, repeat the process every 6 - 12 months.
