Close your Pool with Wet & Forget Outdoor for a Hassle-free clean!

It’s hard to believe, but late summer is here, and Labor Day is right around the corner. Before you know it, your favorite fall shows will be back on TV, and you’ll be scoping Jack O’Lantern designs. This also means it is time to get in some late summer cleaning with Wet & Forget Outdoor!

Make Wet & Forget Outdoor a part of closing your pool, and you’ll have lots more time to plan your big end-of-season barbecue!

Clean Pool Liners and Pool Walls

If you have an above-ground pool, over the summer your pool liner might have developed a gross, slimy layer of green algae or mold and mildew along the waterline. The outside wall of your pool can also fall victim to moss, lichen, black algae, green algae, or mold and mildew.

In-ground pools can also develop algae or mold and mildew infestations along the waterline and along the edge of the pool, where abundant moisture encourages the growth of these organisms.

Caustic chemicals such as bleach can harm your pool liner and can disrupt your pool water’s pH, and just scrubbing the growths off is messy, time-consuming, and results in them coming right back.

Wet & Forget Outdoor is the easy way to get rid of ugly growths at the waterline, around the edge of your pool, and on the outside wall of your above-ground pool. Wet & Forget Outdoor’s gentle, non-caustic formula is safe to use on any pool liner and won’t harm your in-ground pool tiles.

And because Wet & Forget Outdoor is nearly pH neutral, the overspray won’t change your pool’s pH.

Here’s how to eliminate ugly growths in and around your pool the easy way with Wet & Forget Outdoor Concentrate:

1. Lower the water level until the whole stain is exposed to the air.
2. Allow the stained area to dry completely.
3. Mix 1 part Wet & Forget Outdoor with 5 parts water in a pump-up style garden sprayer.
4. Spray the affected area with the diluted Wet & Forget Outdoor at a time that allows 4 to 5 hours’ drying time before the chance of rain.
5. Allow at least 4 to 5 hours for the area to dry completely. Raise the pool’s water level back to the desired level.

To eliminate growths on the outside walls of above-ground pools:

1. Mix 1 part Wet & Forget Concentrate with 5 parts water in a pump-up style garden sprayer.
2. Spray the affected area with the diluted Wet & Forget Outdoor at a time that allows 4 to 5 hours’ drying time before the chance of rain.
3. Walk away, and let Wet & Forget Outdoor do the work for you!
4. Re-treat once a year or at the first sign of re-growth.

To eliminate moss, saturate the moss thoroughly so that the Wet & Forget can penetrate the moss’s root-like structures. For lichen, follow these special instructions.

Pool Decks and Surrounds

Poolside decks are the perfect place to relax after a cool swim on a hot summer day. But your pool deck or surround can also fall victim to moss, lichen, algae, or mold and mildew growth.

These can wreck its appearance, make it dangerously slippery. And, in the case of moss and lichen, even permanently damage some surfaces.

Cleaning with bleach means scrubbing and rinsing, and you risk damaging some types of decking with caustic chemicals or disrupting your pool’s pH. Pressure washing is a hassle, makes a big mess, and can increase wear and tear on your deck’s surface.

Wet & Forget Outdoor eliminates ugly, destructive growths on your pool deck or surround with no scrubbing, bleach, or pressure washing needed. Just spray and leave!

Wet & Forget Outdoor’s gentle formula is safe to use on all types of decking, and it won’t increase wear and tear or affect your pool’s pH with overspray.

Best of all, Wet & Forget Outdoor keeps working with the wind and rain even after stains have disappeared, keeping them away for a year or more in most cases.

Now you can get back to enjoying your poolside deck during the late summer, instead of cleaning it! Wet & Forget Outdoor even eliminates mold and mildew on your deck umbrellas.

To eliminate growths on pool decks or surrounds:

1. Connect the Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End product to your garden hose. Attach the fan sprayer tip to the product. Turn the water spigot on.
2. Turn the sprayer dial to the “ON” setting and spray the affected area with the diluted Wet & Forget Outdoor at a time that allows 4 to 5 hours’ drying time before the chance of rain.
3. Walk away, and let Wet & Forget Outdoor do the work for you!
4. Re-treat once a year or at the first sign of re-growth.

To wipe out mold and mildew on deck umbrellas:

1. Mix 1 part Wet & Forget Concentrate with 5 parts water in a pump-up style garden sprayer.
2. Spray the deck umbrella with the diluted Wet & Forget Outdoor at a time that allows 4 to 5 hours’ drying time before the chance of rain.
3. Spray the deck umbrella with a garden hose periodically until the mold and mildew disappear.

To eliminate moss, saturate the moss thoroughly so that the Wet & Forget can penetrate the moss’s root-like structures. For lichen, follow these special instructions.

Stairs, Diving Boards, and Other Surfaces

When you look around your pool, you may notice that many other surfaces such as the diving board, stairs, walkways, and other areas have also become covered in soot-like black algae, slimy green algae or mold, and mildew, fuzzy moss, or scaly lichen

Now is the perfect time to treat these areas with Wet & Forget Outdoor, and put the late summer rains to work cleaning for you.

Wet & Forget Outdoor works with the wind and rain to eliminate growths over time and keep them away for a year or more in most cases, so treating your pool area now is the ideal way to start wiping out this season’s mess and get a jump start on a beautiful pool area for next season, with no elbow grease required.
