How to Clean a Wood Deck Without a Pressure Washer

Mold, mildew, algae, lichen, and moss can all leave your preferred outdoor oasis looking and feeling gross. And though you may be tempted to bust out harsh cleaning solutions or a high-powered pressure washer, neither tool will get the job done as effectively as Wet & Forget.

Finish up your fall cleaning checklist by applying Wet & Forget to your deck.

Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End is non-acidic and contains no bleach. So, it’s safe to use on virtually any exterior surface:

Brick
Fabric and outdoor carpet
Painted and stained surfaces
Plastic
PVC
Stone
Vinyl
Wood

That means if you’re wondering how to clean a wood deck without a pressure washer, the answer is Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End. Simply screw the bottle to the end of your house and start spraying your deck, porch, patio, awning, and gazebo.

There’s no need to rinse, scrub, or use a power washer. The spray works with wind and rain to gently lift stains over time.

Additionally, the Xtreme Reach™ Nozzle will help you get the job done quickly. Use the fan tip to clean large areas quickly, or employ the jet tip for the spray to reach distances of up to 30 feet. The jet tip is perfect for applying the house wash to your siding or roofing.

For best results, apply on mild, windless days with temperatures of at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit. After application, keep pets and people off sprayed surfaces until completely dry.

A single application can be enough to keep your deck stain-free for up to a year. So, making this a yearly Memorial Day tradition may be all you need to keep stains away.

How to Clean Patio Furniture

We recommend Wet & Forget Ready To Use for small-scale outdoor cleaning. It comes premixed with a trigger sprayer, so you can efficiently clean your outdoor furniture.

To apply this pre-mix formula, thoroughly spray your patio furniture. Then, rinse the furniture with your hose the next day before anyone uses them.

How to Remove Mold Stains From Your Sidewalk and Driveway

Your front yard gives guests their first impression of your home. So, if your driveway, sidewalk, or other exterior surfaces are dotted with black or green mold stains, your home may seem more welcoming to moss than it is to your barbecue attendees.

As with backyard surfaces, many people opt for a pressure washer to remove stains from their homes. However, these powerful devices are often more trouble than they’re worth.

For example, pressure washers don’t attack the microscopic spores that spur mold and mildew growth. They can also chip away at asphalt or concrete, allowing organic growth to burrow beneath the surface where they can prepare for another insurgence.

So, how do you clean a concrete driveway without a pressure washer? Again, the answer lies with Wet and Forget.

Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End can clean stains from your driveway, sidewalk, or paved pathway. It’s safe to use on asphalt, brick, concrete, stone, and wood.

Because it can cover up to 2,000 square feet, you should be able to apply the spray to your entire driveway. If your driveway is small enough, you may be able to clean your front porch and your house’s exterior surfaces, too.

As with your back deck, the application process is super simple. Simply spray on a windless, mild day and then walk away.

How to Clean a Concrete Sidewalk

We recommend Wet & Forget Concentrate to clean sidewalks of virtually any variety. A single-gallon container makes six gallons of cleaning solution.

To use, mix one part Wet & Forget Concentrate with five parts water in your preferred pump sprayer. Then, on a windless day that’s at least 32 degrees Fahrenheit, spray your concrete sidewalk.

That’s it — no scrubbing, rinsing, or pressure washing.

If you’re dealing with moss or lichen, make sure to thoroughly soak them with spray.

In the case of moss, you should notice it starts to brown and detach from the surface over the next couple of days. Then the wind and rain will help wash away any remaining moss.

With lichen, thoroughly saturate with Wet & Forget. Then wait 15 minutes and thoroughly spray again.

The first application will help loosen the outer layer of the lichen. Then the second application should penetrate the lichen’s inner layer.

How to Clean Mold Off Granite Headstones

Memorial Day isn’t just a day for celebrating. It’s also a solemn day for remembering those who’ve given their lives to protect this country.

Clean headstones for Memorial Day with Wet and Forget.

You may have someone specific in mind when you honor Memorial Day. Even if you don’t, you may simply want to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

One way to honor those who’ve fallen is to spend a morning during Memorial Day weekend cleaning headstones. Because gravestones spend all their time exposed to the elements, they are often plagued with organic growth.

However, Wet & Forget offers an easy solution for cleaning moss, mildew, and mold stains off granite headstones. It’s also effective on other common headstone materials, such as limestone, marble, granite, and slate.

If you’re only cleaning a headstone or two, we recommend Wet & Forget Ready-to-Use. Thoroughly spray the gravestone and let the spray get to work.

If you’re cleaning many headstones, we recommend Wet & Forget Concentrate.

First, mix one part concentrate with five parts water in your preferred garden pump sprayer. Then thoroughly spray the headstones.

With either spray, make sure to apply on days without wind and where temperatures are mild. Applying the spray on hot or sunny days can cause the product to rapidly evaporate, so it won’t have a chance to work on the surface.

With Wet & Forget products at your side, all you need is a single morning to tackle practically all of your home’s outdoor surfaces. With no need to scrub or use a pressure washer, you’ll find that you can spend almost all of your Memorial Day weekend enjoying the fruits of a single morning’s work.
