Short step-by-step DIY guide
- Prepare the area
Clear leaves debris and loose dirt. Protect nearby plants and drains by wetting exposed garden beds and placing covers where necessary. Check the weather forecast and pick a dry day with no heavy rain for at least 24 hours. - Protect yourself and the site
Wear gloves, eye protection and long sleeves. Although EcoSafe MossRid is non-toxic, it can irritate eyes and skin in some cases. Have a hose or bucket of water ready to rinse plants or overspray. For full safety details, see the Safety Data Sheet. EcoSafe_MossRid-SDS_AUS - Apply EcoSafe MossRid
Dilute or use neat, as directed on the product label, and apply evenly with a garden sprayer, pump sprayer, or brush. Allow the product to dwell for the time recommended on the label so it can act on the growth. - Agitate and remove
After dwell time, scrub with a stiff nylon broom or brush. For stubborn patches, use a plastic scraper. For larger areas, a low-pressure rinse or a light-pressure washer on a low setting can be used; avoid high pressure, which can damage joints or softer substrates. - Rinse and let dry
Rinse thoroughly into a suitable area and avoid directing runoff into sensitive garden beds or stormwater drains. Let the surface dry fully. Summer conditions typically give the fastest dry times. - Inspect and treat spots
Repeat spot treatments on any remaining patches, then allow to dry. Once completely dry, consider applying a NuTech sealer or protective coating to reduce regrowth and extend the life of your finish.
