Gardeners say this ‘spray and walk away’ patio cleaner is a ‘game-changer’ for removing moss, algae and stubborn stains without the need for any scrubbing or pressure washing
Throughout the cold and wet winter period, it’s common for moss, lichens and algae to flourish. This unwelcome growth can look unsightly and leave an unpleasant green tinge on patios, driveways, fences, garden furniture and conservatories.
Beyond being an eyesore, such growth can create dangerous conditions, as moss and algae become slippery and slimy, turning surfaces into potential hazards.
For tackling algae, many gardeners typically spend hours scrubbing away or rely on pressure washers. Yet, some green-fingered fans have discovered one particular product that’s proving hugely popular right now.
Garden enthusiasts are singing the praises of Wet & Forget Lichen and Algae Remover, Outdoor Patio Cleaner, Black Spot Remover 2L, currently available on Amazon for £14.99, reduced from £21.99.

The product is also stocked at Wickes for £18, and works to eliminate mould, lichen and algae without requiring a specialist kit or aggressive cleaning techniques like water blasting. This approach helps protect patios, paths, tarmac and block paving from damage, reports the Express.
In an Amazon review headlined “amazing results with zero effort”, David Whiteley commented: “Wet & Forget is honestly one of the best outdoor cleaners I’ve ever used. I applied it to my patio, fencing, and the side of the house where mould and green algae always build up. All I had to do was spray it on and leave it – no scrubbing, no pressure washing, nothing.
“It works exactly as promised and keeps the area looking clean for months. It’s also really easy to use and covers a good amount of space. If you’re tired of constant scrubbing or slippery green patches, this product is an absolute game-changer. Highly recommended!”
User 5724geoff shared: “This was sprayed onto a heavy moss and lichen infestation on my fence, and had started working by the next day. Very happy with these results.”
Roy Davies remarked, “The main advantage is its ‘spray and walk away’ application. There’s no need for scrubbing, pressure washing, or rinsing, which saves significant time and physical effort.”
Another satisfied buyer noted: “Does exactly what it says on the tub. Removes stains like magic, even those black, hard-to-remove stains you get on light slabs.”
Using this Wet & Forget solution couldn’t be simpler – just mix one part product with five parts water, spray onto the chosen surface, and let it do the work. No need for scrubbing, rinsing or jet washing, simply apply and leave.
Alternative stain-removal options for patios, fences and driveways include Jeyes 4-in-1 Patio and Decking Power Outdoor Cleaner 2L, available for £9.99 on Amazon (reduced from £16) and £10.99 at Robert Dyas.
