How to Successfully Remove
Moss and lichens tend to proliferate in shady,
damp areas. First, remove any large clumps, and
then apply a weed killer. The weed killer will
slowly work to eradicate the moss and lichens
and deter regrowth.
Rust stains caused by leaking guttering are
straightforward to remove using a ten per cent
hydrochloric acid solution. However, you must
take great care to follow the manufacturer’s
guidelines, as the acid can corrode the surface.
If you spill paint on block paving, the first
step is to mop the paint up rather than
wipe, as wiping will spread the stain. To
clear the affected area, use a solvent
solution and clean the paving with a
detergent.
If you are impatient and can’t wait for
time and the weathering effect to remove
tyre marks, crack out the strong
detergent again and work with a brush
and warm water.
If you mop up an oil spill immediately, it will
not stain block paving. However, if left, it will
seep into the paver. Light oil stains can be
cleaned using a powerful detergent, a stiff
brush and warm water.
