Bond-It Patio Blaster: The Ultimate Guide to Removing Lichens, Algae and Mould
The Ultimate Guide to Using Bond-It Patio Blaster
If your patio, driveway, or garden furniture is looking a little worse for wear after a damp season, you aren't alone. Green mould, stubborn algae, and moss can quickly take over hard surfaces, making them unsightly and, more importantly, dangerously slippery.
Today, we’re looking at a standout solution from Bond-It, Patio Blaster. This HSE certified concentrated disinfectant is specifically engineered to remove and prevent organic growth without the need for back breaking scrubbing.
Why Patio Blaster is a Garden Essential
What makes this product a "must-have" is its versatility across almost any outdoor surface. While the name suggests it's just for patios, it is actually a powerful multi-surface cleaner.
Broad Spectrum Cleaning: It effectively kills and removes green mould, black mould, lichens, algae, and moss.
Safe for Delicate Surfaces: Unlike many harsh cleaners, Patio Blaster contains no bleach or acids. This makes it ideal for delicate areas like glass, rendering, and even solar panels.
Pet Friendly: A major concern for many homeowners is the safety of their animals. Patio Blaster is safe for pets once the treated surface has completely dried.
Long-Lasting Protection: It doesn't just clean; it helps protect surfaces from the reoccurrence of organic growth for several months after the initial treatment.
How to Use: The Simple 3-Step System
You don't need a professional pressure washer to get professional results. The application is a straight forward process, "dilute, apply, and leave".
1. Preparation
Ensure the surface is dry before you begin. Start by brushing away any loose debris like leaves or twigs. Check the weather forecast, too, you’ll need a window of at least 6 hours without rain for the product to set properly.
2. Dilution & Application
Patio Blaster is a concentrate, so a little goes a long way.
- For Normal/Heavy Growth: Dilute 1 part Patio Blaster with 4 parts water.
- For Light Maintenance: Use a dilution of 1 part concentrate to 9 parts water.
Apply the mixture using a low pressure garden sprayer or a simple watering can fitted with a rose. Simply saturate the area thoroughly.
3. The "Wait" Factor
This is the best part: there is no scrubbing required. Once you've saturated the surface, simply leave it to dry. The powerful biocide will begin killing green growth within 2 to 3 days, gently cleaning the substrate over time.
Pro-Tips for Best Results
Coverage: One litre of diluted product typically treats between 4m² and 8m², depending on how porous the surface is (for example, concrete will soak up more than glass).
Avoid Run-off: While it is biodegradable, you should avoid letting the liquid run off into flower beds, lawns, or fish ponds.
Testing: As all stone and tiles differ, we always recommend testing a small, hidden area first to ensure total suitability.
Whether you are cleaning a caravan, a greenhouse, solar panels or a patio, Bond-It Patio Blaster provides a professional-grade finish with minimal effort.
