Wet & Forget Outdoor Frequently Asked Questions
How long will Wet & Forget Outdoor take to work?
It depends on the type of growth. Light growth may take a few days to a couple of weeks to see results. Otherwise, it may take 2-3 months to see improvement. In the very worst-case scenario, where contamination is extreme, it may take 6-12 months to work.
When is the best time to apply Wet & Forget?
Apply Wet and Forget on a cool and dry day with minimal wind. Make sure there is no rain in the forecast for 4-5 hours. Typically, the evening or early morning is the best time to apply because evaporation is minimal. This way, the treated surface stays wet with Wet & Forget for a longer period. Apply Wet & Forget Outdoor Concentrate and Wet & Forget Ready-To-Use when temperatures are above 32 degrees. Apply Wet & Forget Extreme Reach™ Hose End when temperatures are above 55 degrees.

I applied Wet & Forget to a concrete surface & it turned an orange-brown color. Is this normal?
Yes, this is a normal and temporary color change that occurs on some concrete surfaces right after application. The color will disappear over time and indicates a good reaction between the organic growth and Wet & Forget.

Can I apply Wet & Forget Outdoor Concentrate with a hose end sprayer or pressure washer?
We recommend applying Wet & Forget Outdoor Concentrate with a pump-up garden sprayer for best results. For large surfaces and high elevations, we recommend using Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End. NOTE: Most standard hose end sprayers do not have the correct dilution rate for Wet & Forget. If you use a pressure washer with Wet & Forget Outdoor Concentrate, only use pressure washers that can pull from a separate container with the pre-mixed solution of 5:1 otherwise, we do not recommend pressure washers as you will not get the proper dilution or results.

We do not recommend storing Wet & Forget areas that could freeze or have temperatures below 32 degrees.

Wet & Forget Outdoor products are specially formulated for outdoor use and requires exposure to the weather to work properly. For indoor use, we recommend using Wet & Forget Indoor Mold+Mildew Disinfectant Cleaner.
