‘Spores’ for thought
After a long winter gardeners are ‘under pressure’ to wash their patios and pathways in the hope that they look as good as new for a great summer ourdoors. But in their desire to improve the overall look of their brick and stone work, they damage it further by intensive pressure washing. All stone, whether natural or composite, is made up of a combination of minerals; once garden stonework is laid it is susceptible to millions of microspores carried by the rain from surrounding trees, which then feed off the minerals, germinating after two years and
eventually blooming on the surface as ‘patio black spots’. At this point the ‘black spots’ are almost impossible to remove, as they continue to react to the minerals in the stone like spores on steroids, growing both across the surface, but more importantly putting down fibrous roots and anchoring themselves like a limpet. Most proprietary patio cleaners will remove green algae, but can take weeks to work, and they rely on dry weather. Equally they have no obvious effect on the black lichen. But help is at hand. The Patio Black Spot Remover and Preventer system doesn’t just
remove those hideous patio black spots but completely cleans and restores the original colour to all garden stonework, plus prevents their return! The system works on any type, or age of stone, completely restoring the original colours and saving the average gardener thousands of pounds in replacement costs. Patio Black Spot Remover challenges common perceptions towards the performance and success of patio cleaners, giving instant results, at a better than professional standard.
