Spring is almost upon us, and now is the perfect time to give your garden a glow up with magic-like product that makes cleaning patios easier than ever – and it’s now on sale
As we get to the end of February there’s definitely a glimmer of spring in the air, which is why now is the perfect time to start thinking about giving your gardens a little glow up. If you have a patio or decking you’ll no doubt have noticed its starting to look a little green with stubborn mould, lichen, or algae after a very wet winter.
Although you usually need a high pressure jet washer to help strip off the green slime, Amazon shoppers have found an even better solution that helps strip it off even quicker. The Wet & Forget cleaner has been praised by customers for how easy it is to use and how effective it is at cleaning garden spaces. What’s more, you can pick up a bottle of the cleaner for less, as it’s currently got a good discount.

Wet & Forget cleaner has been hailed as “so easy and effective” by shoppers who have tested it on their patios, decking areas, fences, features, and walls. How do you use it? Well, it’s in the name.
This cleaning solution is super simple. You simply apply it to the area you want to clean and then walk away. Leave it for a day or more, depending on how thorough you want the clean or how stubborn substances like lichen are, and then rinse it off. You don’t need an expensive jet washer anymore; just spray some water with your garden hose—or, with it being the UK, just wait for it to rain and rinse the solution away.
The Wet & Forget can be mixed into a solution, with one part solution to five parts water to make 30 litres that can cover 100-300m2 surface area; this allows for the maximum amount of contamination to be treated. The product doesn’t use bleach, so it’s unharmful and suitable for use on any surface. Plus, you get to say goodbye to hours of scrubbing. Just ensure at least five hours before any rainfall to see magic-like results.
Normally priced at £35.99 for five litres, Amazon shoppers can currently grab a bottle of their own for the reduced price of £27.44 while this Spring Deals Week lasts.
Boasting an impressive 4.4 out of 5 stars from over 24k reviewers, shoppers can’t stop raving about this impressive cleaning solution. One 5-star rater beams: “Does exactly what the label says. A great product, easy to apply and then just leave it to work its magic.”
Another shopper shares: “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 add: “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.”
More love comes from this customer who gushes: “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 sooooo worth it.”
And another shopper writes: “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!”
You can buy a five-litre bottle of solution from Amazon for its discounted price or from Lakeland for £29.99. If you don’t want to commit to the larger size, you can buy a two-litre container from B&Q for £18.89.
