Fan of the Month: Jane Wiped out Algae and Ditched the Pressure Washer
Jane had been fighting a losing battle against green and black algae on her home and concrete. She would clean up the mess with bleach or a pressure washer, but the algae would grow right back. She wanted a product that wiped out algae.
Then she tried Wet & Forget Outdoor, and she’s never looked back! Read on to see her excellent results.
“ I would use bleach, but it always came back, and it wasn’t gone long.” -Jane M. from Jacksonville, FL.
Wipe Out Algae With Ease!
Jane had a big problem on her hands: the humid Florida air created the perfect environment for algae to thrive. The homeowners’ association where she and her husband lived had rules prohibiting visible growths on siding, fences, and other surfaces.
Green algae invaded Jane’s vinyl siding and white vinyl fence, and black algae spread across the surface of some concrete blocks that formed a border for a grouping of bushes. Jane used to bleach or pressure wash to clean her outdoor surfaces. This required a lot of work in the hot sun.
Jane and her husband didn’t want to spend money to rent a pressure washer and clean the siding with bleach. This meant climbing a ladder and laboriously scrubbing. Worst of all, neither method did anything to keep the algae from growing right back again:
“It just gets it clean for a little bit, and not even 100%, and you still have to do it again,” Jane said. In a never-ending cycle of cleaning and re-cleaning, Jane is ready to stop.
“It’s neat to know it’s not caustic, it’s not expensive, and it does the job it says it’s going to do.” -Jane M.
Wet & Forget to the Rescue!
Jane was stuck bleaching and pressure washing over and over again until she heard about Wet & Forget Outdoor on the radio, and all that changed. Jane’s neighbors used to see her regularly up on a ladder, struggling to clean her siding. Now all that is history, and good riddance!
“I haven’t pressure washed the house in several years now,” she says. “I just spray it down with Wet & Forget, and a couple of weeks later, I will scrub it down with a broom just to get off the dust.”
Jane was also very impressed with her results when she used Wet & Forget Outdoor to clean the black algae off the concrete blocks forming the border for her bushes.
“They were black, and I sprayed them down, and—I’ll be darned—a couple of weeks later, they were already getting cleaner!” And while a caustic chemical such as bleach would be risky to use so close to valued plants, Wet & Forget Outdoor is non-caustic and safe to use near plants.
Now Jane has made Wet & Forget Outdoor a regular part of her spring and fall cleaning routine. She gives her siding and the vinyl fence around her air conditioning unit a quick spray with Wet & Forget Outdoor, which will wipe out the algae!

“The product is just amazing!” -Jane M.
Spreading the Word about Wet & Forget Outdoor!
Jane is enthusiastic about not needing to bleach or pressure wash the algae off her home. She couldn’t wait to spread the word. Jane wrote an article in the newsletter for her homeowners’ association, which reaches about 300 households.
She told her neighbors: “You may not see me on a ladder scrubbing the side of the house anymore…instead, I’ll be spraying and going in for a cup of coffee thanks to Wet & Forget.”
Now that’s an activity we can get behind! We also recommend these delicious burger recipes you can sample during the free time you’re spending not scrubbing your siding and these fun decorating ideas.
Jane has also told all of her friends and family about Wet & Forget Outdoor, and she even goes out of her way to help strangers make sure that their algae is wiped out: “Sometimes if I’m at the hardware store and I see someone picking up ‘the other stuff I’ll tell them, ‘You really should try Wet & Forget. It’s wonderful!’”

This really is a question and I hope you can answer it. On our street underground water seeps up through seams in the concrete. Green, slimy, slick green stuff develops. I assume this is algae. Would your product work to control/eliminate it. If so, how would be apply it.
Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi Cara,
Yes, Wet & Forget will take care of the green algae that’s forming on your concrete. Use a garden pump sprayer and mix Wet & Forget with water, apply a good heavy amount and let the wind and the rain do the rest of the work.
