Patio Magic! Concentrate: Ideal for Patios, Paths and Driveways (Kills Algae and Lichens), 5 Litres

Product Information

DIY Gardening tested Patio Magic in April 2022 on a concrete slab that was dirty and had lichen growth on the surface – this is common and found on most external hard surfaces and is what makes them look grubby. Antibacterial - This patio cleaner does the job effortlessly with no need for any bleach or acids which is great for if you have children or pets.

Patio Magic kills and controls green mould and algae and is a dynamic algaecidal detergent which works without the need for manual scrubbing or pressure-washing If you need instant results, forget Patio Magic, you’ll need a far more aggressive cleaning chemical instead. The ready-to-use version doesn’t go very far and costs much more per square metre but has the advantage that you don’t need to mix it with water.Patio Magic! Concentrate 5L is a hard working and fast acting dynamic algaecidal detergent that kills and controls green mould and algae on all outdoor hard surfaces without scrubbing or pressure washing

I prefer Patio Magic as I don’t mind waiting for the dead matter to decay away naturally, and I know if I put it down once a year in the spring, that will be enough to remove and prevent lichens, algae, moss, mould etc. Plants: do not splash or spray directly onto plants; if you do this by mistake, then simply flush them with plenty of water.Based on my experience, mould, lichens, moss, and other similar organic matter won’t start to regrow for at least a year and possibly much longer if the patio is located in a sunny spot. A3: No. Pressure-washing is messy and takes a surprising amount of time. It often roughens surfaces, thereby encouraging rapid algal re-growth. Patio Magic! is a dynamic algaecidal detergent which works without the need for manual scrubbing or pressure-washing - and it takes just minutes to apply.

Put it another way; Patio Magic will kill whatever is growing on your patio and ruining its appearance, but based on the results of my testing, it won’t remove it. This will treat up to 170m2, removing and preventing that nasty green mould and can even be used as a pre-paint fungicidal wash. A5: Protection can last for about 6-9 months after the first treatment, subsequent treatments can help extend the length of protection. Areas permanently in the shade, or prone to collecting water will have a reduced period of prevention. Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description.

As you can see from the before and after photos, Patio Magic does work, but only if you’re very patient. Patio Magic contains a fungicide, and while that will kill the lichens, algae, mould and moss, it won’t burn them off the patio.

Daniel has over 18 years of experience in the construction, home improvement, and landscape garden industries. I followed the instructions exactly and after 48 hours, I can’t see any change in the appearance of my patio. It took about two weeks before I saw a noticeable improvement and about 45 days until the difference was striking.I waited a few days and nothing. I got a different product and it cleaned the patio in a few hours. Based on my testing and well over a decade of use, I feel this is nonsense and probably explains why some customers are disappointed and leave a negative review after a few days. In just a few days, you’ll see visible results, with no scrubbing or pressure washing!
