Scrubb Algae Remover is a powerful formulation perfect for removing algae, mould, lichen, and green films from exterior surfaces. It works well on masonry, composite, timber, tiles, plastic, glass, and even bitumen roofing. When you use it, remove excessive soiling first and then apply the product to a dry surface and apply it when there’s no rain forecasted for the next 24 hours. With the concentrate product, you can water this down one to five and then apply with a low pressure sprayer or a brush. It will take 36 hours to work and will actually continue to work for the weeks and months following. With the ready to use product, just simply apply with a sprayer or a brush. Also note this won’t work on black spot or moss. We have other dedicated products for these. And avoid using this on ornamental plants and lawns. If you do get it on these surfaces, rinse it thoroughly with water.
