Identify the climate where you live and view the extra tips below on applying Wet & Forget Outdoor in your region.
In dry regions, apply Wet & Forget Outdoor according to package directions. One week later, rinse surfaces with the garden hose. If you’re not seeing rainfall in your region for a while, we recommend repeating the rinsing process periodically to imitate natural rainfall. The additional water will assist the product in lifting and removing green and black stains.
In hot regions, make sure the surface being treated isn’t too hot. You don’t want the product to evaporate as quickly as you apply it. It need time to sit on the surface. Early morning, or an overcast day is the perfect time to apply.
In humid and marine regions, green and black stains caused by moss, mold, mildew, and other growths may reappear more often. If you see new stains, reapply the product to your exterior surfaces.
In cold or subarctic regions wait to apply Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End, when temperature are above 55 degrees. Apply Wet & Forget Concentrate or Wet & Forget Ready-to-Use apply when temperatures are above freezing.
Wet & Forget Outdoor banishes both green and black stains from your home’s outdoor surfaces. Just spray it on and forget it! Wet & Forget does the cleaning for you – no scrubbing, rinsing, or power washing required.
