Application

Do not mix with other chemicals. Do not apply if rain is expected within 12 hours. Add 1 parts of MossBoss to 4 parts of clean water. 5 litres of MossBoss makes 25 litres of usable product. Stir well to ensure complete mixing.Apply with a low pressure garden sprayer. Best applied in dry overcast conditions. Thoroughly wet the surface and walk away. Leave for a few days and remove the dead growth with a stiff brush or high pressure hose or simply let the moss, lichen, algae and mould die and erode away with the weather. MossBoss does not show immediate results but it works slowly and effectively without damaging the surface.Roofs: When the roof is used for collection of drinkable water, ensure that the downpipes are disconnected for 3 – 4 down pour’s of heavy rain or 6mm of rain to remove the concentrate.

Coverage

Coverage will depend on the amount of growth to be cleaned. On porous surfaces 1 litre will cover approximately 5 square metres and up to 10 square metres on non porous surfaces.

CAUTION

When applying MossBoss to your roof, it is always best to employ an expert tradesperson to undertake the work for you, as walking around on roofs can be dangerous. Also, house holders unfamiliar with working at height pose considerable risk of injury to themselves by falling from ladders or the roof. – visit our list of Dealers to find an expert tradesperson.
