Product Description

One Multi-Surface Cleaner for the Whole Property

Most outdoor cleaning problems share the same root cause: biological growth. Algae, mould, lichen, fungi, and bacteria establish themselves on hard outdoor surfaces and spread progressively, discolouring, degrading, and in many cases creating hazardous conditions underfoot.

The surface type changes: decking, paving, render, caravans, conservatories, but the contaminating organisms are consistent, and so is the solution.

GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser is built on this insight. Rather than a different product for every surface, it is a single professional-grade outdoor multi-surface cleaner formulated to work across the full breadth of hard outdoor substrates, from block paving driveways to fibreglass boat hulls, artificial grass to canvas tents, pool surrounds to solar panels. One product, one buying decision, and one straightforward application process regardless of which surface you're treating.

For homeowners with diverse outdoor spaces, this means treating the driveway, patio, decking, fencing, garden furniture, and conservatory in a single session without switching between specialist products. For trade cleaning contractors, it means stocking one concentrated cleaning solution that genuinely handles every surface type encountered across a typical property maintenance programme.

What GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser Treats

As an outdoor multi-surface cleaner and sanitiser, this product targets the full spectrum of biological contamination found on outdoor hard surfaces:

  • Algae: the biological growth that establishes on shaded, damp surfaces including paving, decking, render, roof tiles, and fencing.
  • Mould and mildew: fungal growth on timber, paving, outdoor furniture, and any surface that stays damp after rain.
  • Lichen: the combined fungal-algal organism that bonds to stone, masonry, and tile surfaces and is significantly harder to remove than surface algae.
  • Bacteria and biofilm: the invisible microbial layer that makes decking, pool surrounds, and patio surfaces slippery underfoot and harbours odour in animal shelters and outdoor wash areas.

The product kills these organisms at a cellular level rather than simply bleaching the visible surface staining, which is why results are more durable than bleach-based alternatives and why subsequent maintenance cycles become progressively easier as baseline biological loading reduces with each treatment.

Virtually Any Hard Outdoor Surface: Confirmed Safe

The defining characteristic of GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser is its exceptional surface compatibility. Because it contains no bleach, no acids, no ammonia, and no solvents, it will not oxidise, discolour, or structurally affect any non-living hard surface. This makes it safe, and genuinely effective, across a range of surfaces where most cleaners cannot be used:

  • Outdoor living and landscaping surfaces: driveways (block paving, concrete, tarmac, resin), patios, paths, natural stone (sandstone, limestone, slate, marble), porcelain paving, pool surrounds, non-grass tennis courts.
  • Timber and garden structures: decking, fencing, sheds, pergolas, garden furniture, window frames and exterior joinery (with the added benefit of preventing wood rot and providing biocidal disinfection of timber surfaces).
  • Exterior building surfaces: render, brick, masonry, roof tiles (clay, concrete, slate), solar panels, conservatories, UPVC, painted exterior surfaces without risk of damage to the paint film, lead works and metal fittings.
  • Specialist and leisure surfaces: caravans, motorhomes, fibreglass boats, polytunnels, canvas tents and awnings, yacht sails, artificial grass, Astroturf, outdoor pots and furniture.
  • Animal and agricultural: animal shelters, kennels, stable areas, and outdoor run surfaces, safe around animals once fully dry.

The only surfaces excluded are green and sedum roofs.

Foaming Coverage Indicator: Nothing Gets Missed

GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser is a natural surfactant formula that foams vigorously on application by brush or garden sprayer. This foaming behaviour is a practical benefit as well as a chemical one. The visible foam confirms that all areas of the surface are receiving active product. Any section that has not foamed has not been adequately treated. For large surface areas, high walls, or surfaces being treated at height, this visible indicator makes application more systematic and reliable than with non-foaming products.

Concentrated: Outstanding Value per Square Metre

One 5-litre bottle of GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser dilutes to produce up to 25 litres of ready-to-use cleaning solution, treating between 100 and 125 square metres depending on the porosity of the surface and the application method used. Dilution is adjusted to the level of biological contamination:

  • Heavy soiling (algae, lichen, or mould with significant biological loading): dilute 2:1 with water.
  • Light to medium soiling (general biological staining and routine maintenance): dilute 3:1 with water.

After the initial treatment, subsequent maintenance applications are simpler, faster, and require less product per square metre because the baseline biological loading has already been reduced. Annual or bi-annual maintenance cycles on previously treated surfaces typically produce results within days rather than weeks, and the product goes further on surfaces that are already in a maintained condition.

Bleach-Free, Safe, and Environmentally Responsible

GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser contains no bleach, no caustic chemicals, no acids, and no ammonia. Its virtually neutral pH of 6 means it will not corrode metal fittings, degrade UPVC seals, discolour painted surfaces, or damage any common outdoor material. Once dry, it is safe around children and animals. It is plant-safe provided it is not sprayed directly onto foliage. Any accidental overspray should be rinsed immediately with clean water.

 

How It Works

Cellular-Level Elimination

GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser kills algae, mould, lichen, fungi, and bacteria at a cellular level rather than simply bleaching visible surface staining. This is why results are more durable than bleach-based alternatives, and why maintenance cycles become progressively easier as baseline biological loading reduces with each treatment.

The Foaming Coverage Indicator

The natural surfactant formula foams vigorously on contact with the surface, giving a direct visual confirmation that active product is reaching every treated area. Any section that hasn't foamed hasn't been adequately treated, which makes application more systematic and reliable on large or elevated surfaces.

Working With Weather Cycles

The active chemistry kills biological growth on contact, then UV exposure combined with rainfall progressively removes the dead biological matter from the surface over subsequent days and weeks, so there's no need to rinse after application.

Application & Storage

Before You Start

Remove any excess loose debris and heavy vegetative growth from the surface before applying. Protect nearby plants by covering with waterproof fabric or sheeting and watering the surrounding area. Keep children and animals away from the treatment area during application and until the surface is fully dry.

Dilution

Mix the concentrate with clean water in a garden sprayer or suitable container:

  • Heavy soiling: 1 part product to 2 parts water (2:1).
  • Light to medium soiling and routine maintenance: 1 part product to 3 parts water (3:1).

Application

Apply the diluted solution evenly across the treatment area using a garden pump sprayer or brush. Ensure thorough, even coverage, the vigorous foaming on contact with the surface confirms adequate product is being applied. Work in sections on large areas to ensure consistent coverage. Apply to a dry surface where possible, on a day with little or no wind and no rain forecast for at least 24 hours.

Dwell and Weathering

Do not rinse after application. GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser works in conjunction with natural weather cycles: the active chemistry kills biological growth on contact, and UV exposure combined with rainfall progressively removes the dead biological matter from the surface over subsequent days and weeks. On lightly contaminated surfaces, results may be visible within days. On heavy or long-established biological growth, significant improvement typically develops over two to twelve weeks.

Maintenance

Once surfaces have been initially treated, maintenance applications are significantly faster and more effective. An annual or bi-annual light treatment keeps biological loading low and prevents heavy establishment of algae and mould between full cleans.

PPE

Wear protective gloves and eye or face protection as a minimum requirement during application.

Coverage and Storage

One 5-litre bottle makes up to 25 litres of solution, treating between 100 and 125 square metres depending on surface porosity, or 50–60m² at heavy soiling dilution. Shelf life is 24 months in the original, unopened container.

Frequently Asked Questions

An outdoor multi-surface cleaner is a biocidal cleaning solution formulated to remove biological growth such as algae, mould, lichen, bacteria, and biofilm, from hard outdoor surfaces. Unlike surface-specific cleaners, a genuine multi-surface cleaner is formulated to be safe and effective across a wide range of outdoor materials without needing to assess compatibility surface by surface. GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser is HSE-licensed and confirmed safe on virtually any hard outdoor substrate, from natural stone and decking to caravans, solar panels, and fibreglass.
Results depend on the level of biological contamination. On mild staining, improvement is typically visible within a few days. On heavy biological loading, thick algae, established lichen, or significant mould, meaningful results develop over two to three months as weather cycles progressively remove dead biological matter. In severe cases, the full result may take up to six to twelve months. Subsequent maintenance applications work significantly faster, often producing visible results within days, as baseline contamination has already been reduced by previous treatments.
Yes. It is particularly effective on decking. Biofilm buildup is the primary cause of slippery decking surfaces in UK gardens. Regular application of GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser prevents biofilm from accumulating, keeping decking safer underfoot and reducing the frequency of deep cleaning required. It also provides biocidal protection against the wood-rotting fungi that shorten the lifespan of untreated timber decking. A dedicated how-to guide for decking is available for download above.
Yes. The bleach-free, acid-free formula is confirmed safe on fibreglass, GRP, canvas, vinyl, and all common caravan and boat exterior materials. It will not dull, discolour, or degrade any of these surfaces. Surface-specific application guides for caravans and fibreglass are available for download on this page.
Yes. It is one of the most effective treatments for biological growth and odour on artificial grass and Astroturf surfaces. It disinfects the surface, removes algae and moss that can cause the surface to become slippery, and is safe to use on the backing material. A dedicated artificial grass application guide is available for download above.
Once the treated surface is fully dry, GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser is safe around children and animals. During application, keep children and animals away from the treatment area. The product is also safe for use in and around animal shelters, kennels, and stable areas, a surface-specific application guide for animal shelters is available for download on this page.
Yes. Once the surface is clean and dry, it can be painted or stained. For best results, particularly on surfaces with significant biological loading, allow two to three weeks after treatment for dead biological matter to begin decomposing, then wash the surface down before painting. The decomposed residue will rinse away cleanly, leaving a biologically inactive surface that accepts new coatings correctly. Annual treatment with GK Multi-Surface Cleaner & Sanitiser can help extend the painting and maintenance cycle by keeping biological growth suppressed between full redecoration programmes.
