To treat moss or lichen, apply treatment and allow a few weeks before staining. Before staining, remove dead material by scraping, scrubbing, or water blasting. For light mould, there is no need to wash off the treatment if the surface is clean. Leaving it on before painting can aid in long-term control of regrowth. We recommend using Timber Clean & Prep Decking Preparation. Alternatively, the product 30 Seconds ONE STEP (green label) mixed with chlorine bleach (e.g. Janola) has proven successful in treating mould, moss, and lichen. Mix as follows: Water 4 parts (e.g. 4 litres), One Step (green label) 1 part (e.g. 1 litre), Janola (or other chlorine bleach) ¼ part (e.g. 250 ml).
