Here’s how to clean decks, patios, porches, and outdoor flooring with Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End: 

First, check the weather forecast for chances of rain before you spray. For best results, apply the product when it can thoroughly dry on the surface (a period of 4 to 5 hours). Choose a day when the weather is cool and dry.

1. Attach the bottle to your garden hose.
2. Attach the fan tip to the nozzle.
3. Turn the black dial counterclockwise to the “ON” setting.
4. Spray affected surfaces on your patio with Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End.

Just spray the surface and you’re done! Wet & Forget does the tough work for you and keeps your patio looking new. The easy spray-on-and-leave formula works with the weather to eliminate ugly deck stains – no scrubbing or pressure washing required!

If needed, retreat your patio yearly, or at the first sign of re-growth.

Special product instructions for lichen:

Lichen is different from other growths due to its complex, multi-layered structure. They tend to be more stubborn and therefore harder to eliminate.

Here’s how to wipe out lichen on your outdoor living space with Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End:

1. Spray lichen-affected areas with Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End. Be sure to saturate the growth with the product.
2. Wait 15 minutes.
3. Repeat step 1, above.

Treating lichen-infested areas twice is the best way to penetrate tough lichen, to banish it from outdoor flooring.
