With the arrival of dry, sunny spring weather, it's prime time for green-fingered enthusiasts to spruce up their gardens. For those battling against clingy mould, lichen, or algae on patios and decking, even high-powered jet washers may struggle to clear these nuisances entirely. Yet, Amazon customers may have stumbled upon a perfect solution.
Amazon's Spring Sale is in full swing and amid the inevitable discount of high-end TVs and tech gadgets and premium beauty brands like Elemis , one of the notable best-sellers has been a humble outdoor cleaning product making waves due to its easy application and remarkable results in revitalising garden spaces. The Wet and Forget patio cleaner has been praised as 'so easy and effective' by users who have put it to the test, with gardeners praising it for working wonders on a variety of outdoor surfaces including patios, decks, fences, and walls. To use it shoppers simply apply and leave it be, reports the Mirror .
Let it sit for a day or longer to tackle things like stubborn lichen, and then wash it off. There’s no need for pricey jet washers; a splash from a garden hose will do, or in the UK, simply waiting for the rain to wash it all away might do. Wet and Forget is prepared by mixing one part product with five parts water to concoct 30 litres capable of treating a surface area between 100-300 square metres, perfect for tackling extensive contamination.
It is gentle and safe for use on all surfaces as it doesn't contain bleach. It simply needs at least five rain-free hours after application and, according to the instructions, there's no scrubbing required. For those looking to bag a bargain, Amazon's Spring Deals Week offers the 5-litre bottle which is typically priced at £34.
99 with 20% discount, taking the price down to £27.87. Amazon's sale also has a wide range of jet washers in the sale, including this Karcher bestseller which is currently discounted by 36%.
The retailer is also selling Patio Magic complete with a power sprayer for easy application for less than £25. Elsewhere, brands like Wowcher have reduced prices on garden furniture and storage , keen to tempt shoppers as the weather brightens. For those must-do jobs around the garden though, Wet and Forget is one of the most notable current deals and with a stellar rating of 4.
4 out of 5 from more than 24,000 reviewers, the bestselling solution has plenty of happy customers. One five-star reviewer said: "Does exactly what the label says. A great product, easy to apply and then just leave it to work its magic.
" Another added: "I have used this stuff for a few years now and it has always impressed. I have an assortment of different types of flagstones, cement, limestone, sandstone and granite and it cleans all of them well. Does what it says on the tin, spray it on and forget about it.
Some stuff will disappear more or less instantly, some takes a bit longer but I would say within a couple of weeks it will have done the job on all but the most stubborn bits. Depends how much it rains too, rain activates it and washes away the dirt it has cleaned so if it hasn't rained much it will appear to have done less but don't worry just leave it." They continued: "I think on less porous stuff it takes longer, on my granite wall it takes a while but it still works really well and gets it gleaming, so much so I'm contemplating spraying the front wall of my house with it.
It also works on green growth on slate roofs." Another shopper said: "Tried a few and this is the best. We used a spray to distribute it , it's a lot easier and you can get the spray pump bottle from Amazon.
We sprayed it on in dry weather left it a week and then used the jet wash. Wow fab results. Looked brand new, The following year it was no where near as bad and jet washing was a lot easier.
So hopefully each year it will be easier. No smell. Definitely buy it it's so worth it.
" One customer did flag that the best results come with time, explaining: "Our patio slabs were covered in lichen and black spots which we have tried, without success, to remove with power washing. This product is a game-changer. Our patio, steps and walls look great.
Wet and Spray does take at least three months to really show results so now is a great time to apply it. Instructions are easy but it should be used on a dry day. This product should be diluted with water so it is good value compared to the ready mixed solution.
Try it - it works." While the five-litre bottle is available on Amazon at the discounted rate for the duration of the sale, which runs until 11.59pm on Monday (March 31), it's also sold by Lakeland priced at £29.
99 . Elsewhere, a smaller two-litre version can be found at B&Q for £18.89 .
