Patio Magic is a fungicide solution designed to kill green moss and algae with ‘long lasting results’ – and it’s been hailed as working ‘brilliantly’ by users who’ve tried it on their outdoor spaces
Winter’s been dragging on, but with spring gradually emerging on the horizon, keen gardeners who’ve been desperate to get outdoors again are beginning to consider freshening up their plots. One irritating issue that plagues countless homes throughout Britain’s dreary winter period is moss and algae building up on surfaces like fencing and paving.
It’s typically worse in spots starved of sunshine, resulting in an ugly, slippery green layer. Whilst a pressure washer tends to be the default solution for tackling such problems, they’re usually pretty pricey to purchase, and operating one creates quite a lot of mess.
That’s why some garden fans are exploring alternative options, such as Patio Magic – a fungicide treatment formulated to eliminate green moss and algae with “long lasting results”. It contains neither bleach nor acid and requires approximately three days to take effect.
Whilst it normally retails at £20 for five litres at B&Q, there’s actually a method to snap one up for under £5. It works through the money-saving website TopCashback, where new members who register here receive a £15 cashback incentive when they splash out £15 or more at a participating shop.
This means that for newcomers to TopCashback and all B&Q shoppers, the cost comes to £4.67 once cashback is applied. From the 185 reviews submitted so far, Patio Magic has scored 4.4 stars out of 5, reports Wales Online.

One chuffed customer raved: “After trying many different makes to clean patio slabs, I have found one that works brilliantly. Used a watering can and spread it as evenly as I could. Didn’t seem to do much at first, but a few hours later moss and grime was definitely disappearing. Ended up looking good next morning. It’s good to find something that actually does what it says. Will be using again next year’s spring clean up. Highly recommend this product.”
Another commented: “I bought this patio cleaner a couple of weeks ago so I’ve had time to evaluate it – sprayed our front path which is just rough concrete outside our front door and always goes green in the winter as it gets no direct sunlight, within a couple of days the green had completely gone. We have used this product before, normally buy smaller containers, so this 5ltr will last a long time and works out cheaper in the long run – highly recommended.”
A third shared: “I really enjoyed using this product. My patio came up really nice. I would buy this again. My neighbours asked which product I was using and now they use this as well.”
Meanwhile, a fourth person enthused: “Used product on old tiles and they have come up like new.” However, despite the glowing feedback, a handful of buyers had slight niggles.
One purchaser observed: “I will have to use it again after couple of weeks as first time it didn’t clear the algae completely. But still happy with the results I achieved for the first time.” Another reviewer remarked: “Good but could be better.”
There are plenty of similar products available at other shops as well, including on Amazon where a 5L bottle of Green Growth Remover currently has a modest reduction, bringing the cost down from £19.95 to £16.96. That’ll treat roughly 125m2 and is claimed to deliver results within five days.
Alternatively, for anyone after immediate impact, a pressure washer could be the answer. Argos has a wallet-friendly choice with the McGregor Pressure Washer – 1400W, which costs £80.
It’s able to blast out 306 litres of water at 75bar per hour and comes with a 5m cable, alongside a 3m hose.
