Removing green algae
Osmo green algae cleaner
Are you dealing with green algae on your wooden deck, decking or garden furniture? Then you probably want to get rid of it. But what is the best way to approach this?
Green algae consists of algae and moss, and you cannot easily tackle it with a hoe. Removing green algae requires a completely different approach. We would not recommend simply using a chemical treatment. Not only is it an environmentally unfriendly choice, but it can also cause the surface to dry out. This actually increases the chance that the algae will return next season.
Fortunately, there are better ways to remove green algae. Some people try using a sharp blade, similar to how you might remove weeds. However, this takes a lot of time and increases the risk of scratching the surface.
We recommend using Osmo Terrasreiniger instead. This is a green algae cleaner that allows wooden surfaces to be cleaned easily and effectively. It is intended for wood, such as decks, fences and garden furniture.
Removing green algae: here’s how to do it!
Are you planning to get started with the green algae cleaner? We are happy to help you with a step-by-step plan.
- Remove coarse dirt such as sand and leaves with a broom or hand brush.
- Dilute Terrasreiniger with water, depending on the level of dirt (1:25 to a maximum of 1:1).
- Clean the wood with a scrubbing brush or stiff patio brush, depending on the groove size.
- After cleaning, rinse the surface with clean water.
Tip: Do not remove green algae with a pressure washer. This not only removes the algae but also damages the treatment on the wood.
