Discover 3 Ways Wet And Forget Outdoor Makes Pool Cleanup a Breeze
A cool dip in the pool is the perfect way to relax and get some relief from the summer heat, but it’s hard to enjoy your pool if you dive in and find ugly algae stains at the water line, sooty black algae or destructive moss on your concrete surround, or ugly lichen, moss, mold or mildew on your poolside deck.
Read on to discover 3 ways Wet & Forget Outdoor makes cleaning your pool a piece of cake, and get your pool looking good and ready for those summertime pool parties!
1. Wipe Out Stains on your Pool Surround
The humidity that your pool generates can make the surrounding areas, such as the concrete pool surround and diving board, perfect breeding grounds for growths such as sooty black algae or green, carpet-like moss. Even scaly lichen or slimy mold and mildew can pop up on your pool surround.
Wet & Forget Outdoor wipes out these ugly growths and leaves your pool surround looking gorgeous again with no bleach or pressure washing needed. And, unlike bleaching or pressure washing, Wet & Forget Outdoor’s gentle formula won’t harm your pool surround or kill your lawn, and you don’t have to worry about overspray harming your pool water.
Best of all, unlike bleach or pressure washing, Wet & Forget Outdoor keeps working over time to keep ugly growths away for up to a year or more in most cases. Just spray and forget about it, and we’ve got you covered!
Here’s how to clean a pool surround with Wet & Forget Outdoor:
- Mix 1 part Wet & Forget Outdoor with 5 parts water in a pump-up style garden sprayer.
- Spray the affected area with the diluted Wet & Forget Outdoor.
- Allow at least 4 to 5 hours’ drying time before the chance of rain, or before you get the area wet.
- Walk away, and watch the stains disappear over time.
- Re-treat once a year, or at the first sign of re-growth.
To kill moss, be sure to saturate the area thoroughly, so the solution can penetrate the moss’s root-like structures. For lichen, follow these special instructions.
Use these same instructions to kill moss, algae, lichen, or mold and mildew on the outer sides of your above-ground pool, or on your diving board.
2. Eliminate Algae at the Water Line
Green algae is a slippery, green simple plant that can grow anyplace where there is moisture and a little sunlight, which makes your pool’s water line an inviting environment. Ugly, slimy mold and mildew can also grow along your pool’s water line, adding to the staining. These stains are very unattractive and can be difficult to get rid of.
Wet & Forget Outdoor makes wiping out algae at the water line a snap. Simply:
- Lower the pool’s water level so that the stained area is fully exposed. Allow the stained area to dry completely.
- Mix 1 part Wet & Forget Outdoor with 5 parts water in a pump-up style garden sprayer.
- Spray the affected area with the diluted Wet & Forget Outdoor.
- Allow at least 4 to 5 hours’ drying time.
- Raise the water line back to normal.
- Walk away, and watch the stains disappear over time.
It’s that simple!
3. Annihilate Ugly Growths on your Deck
Moss, algae, lichen, mold and mildew can also invade your poolside deck, ruining its appearance. These growths also make it dangerously slippery, and even cause damage.
Bleaching and pressure washing can speed up wear and tear on many types of decking, and neither method does anything to prevent these growths from coming right back.
Wet & Forget Outdoor’s gentle, non-caustic formula works with the wind and rain to remove ugly growths over time, and keep them away for a year or more in most cases. Wet & Forget Outdoor is safe to use on any type of decking, from composite decking (see photo above) to wood, and everything in between.
Just spray once and let Wet & Forget do the work for you! Wet & Forget Outdoor is even gentle enough to safely remove that smelly mold and mildew from your outdoor furniture cushions!
