Check the weather forecast for rain before you apply Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End. Apply the product to a dry surface on a cooler, cloudy, or overcast day when the outdoor temperature is above 55° F, as applying the Wet & Forget on a hot sunny day may cause product evaporation.

Also, avoid applying the product on a windy day as this may reduce product effectiveness due to spray drift.
