        A:  Yes, it will remove lichen and is non-caustic and safe.

          A:  Absolutely! Lichen is different than moss and mold and requires a second application 15 minutes after the first, so that the product can get into the root system of the growth.

            A:  Yes it should kill them. I had several years worth on my Chimney and a stone walkway in one week they showed signs of deterioration and after a month most were gone. Wet but do not rinse off , and some areas need more than one application.

            A:  yes

            by|May 5, 2023

              A:  Yes. However it's the long game. Don't expect quick results, plan on several months before results. Our marker had close to a 100 years of moss, lichen, mold, etc and it too was nearly black. Six months later it is nearly original.

                A:  only after dead mold is removed by weather or other means

                by|May 5, 2023

                  A:  Yes, after the surface has had time to work with the wind and the rain and all the mold and algae stains have cleaned up, you are fine to apply a seal.

                  by|May 4, 2023

                    A:  No, this can not be sealed over.

                      Answer This Question

                      A:  us pump sprayer

                      by|May 5, 2023

                        A:  This is a good question and this is the answer from Wet and Forget; "We recommend applying Wet & Forget Outdoor with a pump-up garden sprayer, or a low-pressure agricultural sprayer." Hope this helps.

                        by|May 4, 2023

                        A:  YES , it will defeat the purpose to wash it off with a pressure washer WET & FORGET ....you put it on with a hand sprayer and LEAVE IT ALONE it works over time and you should not wash it off. I had a Brick Chimney that was covered with Lichens and Green Mold I wet it down a year ago and within a month it was all dead and remains so today. I use it on my Brick Walk and it last about 6 months but keeps the moss and mold off for that long (it has not harmed my St Augustine growing alongside)

                        by|Oct 16, 2023

                        A:  I wouldn't suggest a pressure washer. This product eliminates the need for that. I used a sprayer with a pump I purchased at Home Depot. I saturated the deck with the product. It dried quickly.

                        by|May 5, 2023

                          A:  Yes, Wet & Forget should be applied with a garden pump sprayer and left to the wind and the rain for all the rinsing and scrubbing over time. Standard pressure washers and hose-end sprayers will over-dilute Wet & Forget and are not recommended to use for application.

                              A:  Wet & Forget can be used on virtually any exterior surface including pool paver joints as well as an RV. Wet & Forget also works with the rain as this is what does the rinsing and scrubbing for you over time. If you won't ever see rain, it's a good idea to periodically rinse the surface with water from a hose on a jet setting to keep the cleaning process going.
