I wasn't too convinced that this would be any good but I have to say it is VERY good! I purchased it to remove green algae from a brick wall in my front garden, and didn't want to risk damaging the mortar with a jet wash. I made up half a bucket (diluted) of the solution as indicated on the bottle (dosage) and using a small wire brush scrubbed the affected areas. The green algae was lifting off the brickwork as it was agitated. Looks much better and didn't use too much of the solution so will be able to use again after another winter. Pleased with outcome and would recommend.
