Bought some Oxiclean, this did absolutely nothing to my patio apart from turned all the vibrant green moss brown. Not happy.

@askthebuilder 3 жыл бұрын

Well, you need to try my www.StainSolver.com. My product is much more powerful than OxiClean. OC's ingredients come from China and they have a small amount of active ingredient in the container. I put in the MAXIMUM amount of active ingredient as allowed by Federal DOT laws. If I put more in, then it would have to have a scary yellow diamond label saying it's a hazardous chemical. Be SURE to watch all the videos at the above website to see how to use it.

This is what our contractor told us to use years ago and it works really well for stains on concrete from birds eating berries and even oil stains. We also use it our dog run(concrete) and for black stains on brick (patio)from mold- but this one takes some elbow grease and maybe more than once. I actually sprinkle it on then wet it w/ a light spray then scrub and leave it sit, then rinse. I'll try it this way w/ warm or hot water in a bucket.

If one has a pressure washer that can be turned down to reduce the PSI ( Pound per square inch ) of water pressure, then the risk of eroding the surface through the use of a pressure washer is reduce dramatically, I always reduce the revs on my petrol 4000 PSI pressure washer, down to where the PSI used removes mold, without removing the mortar.

@askthebuilder 10 жыл бұрын

It does require elbow grease. If the surface can withstand pressure washing, you can do that. But be aware that pressure washing DOES DAMAGE any surface. It creates cumulative erosion of even dense high-strength concrete. Don't believe me? Just look at the Grand Canyon. That was created by water running over ROCK at normal atmospheric pressure. If you live in Chicago, go look at the sidewalk in front of the Chicago Tribune building. They regularly pressure wash it and you can see how the entire top surface of the concrete is gone.

Correct. After you apply the Stain Solver solution and let it work - do this on DRY brick and in the shade - you then scrub. Once you can see the brick is clean, you rinse well with clean water from a garden hose. Yes, everything looks great once dry. Yes, it removes mold and mildew from the side of a house, but you need to scrub. It's like you getting in a shower.

No. It's not available at any giant bricks and mortar retailer. Why? They are all BRAND KILLERS. If you start to do well at these places and all of a sudden most of your volume is through the retailers, the retailers put PRESSURE on you to LOWER your price. You lower price typically by cannibalizing your quality. It's happened for years. Go research it online and you'll see lots of brands killed by the big retailers.

Hi, Quick question - my patio is surrounded by beds that we grow vegetables in during the summer. Would this oxygen bleach make the soil unsafe to use if it got into the soil? I am looking for something as natural and safe to remove years of mould and algae on an otherwise lovely patio. Thanks for the video - excited to try.

I'll guess $325. Let me know if I'm close.
