How do you remove black Mould from timber decking?
Also, how do you remove mold from a wooden deck?
Oxygen bleach is a blend of hydrogen peroxide and soda-ash. It's one of the "greenest" products you can use to clean mold spores. Just mix up the magic formula as per the manufacturer's directions and put it on the deck using a scrubbing brush. Finish up by rinsing your deck with a hose.
- Mix together 1 gallon of water, 1 quart of bleach (ensure it is inexpensive laundry bleach), 1 pint of rubbing alcohol and 2 tablespoons of Murphy's (or another ammonia-free detergent).
- After the ingredients are mixed, simply brush it onto your deck and rinse very thoroughly with hose water.
Similarly, you may ask, how do you clean moss off a deck?
Clean your wooden deck at least once a year to help prevent moss and algae growth.
- Fill a bucket with 1 gallon of warm water and add 3/4 cup of chlorine bleach.
- Pour the bleach solution onto the wooden deck.
- Scrub the deck thoroughly with a scrub brush to remove all of the moss and algae.
The biggest reason for a deck stain turning black is mildew. Mildew can begin to grow underneath the deck stain, which causes discoloring. This can also lead to rot and decay because if there is mildew there is also moisture present. Another reason your deck stain turned black can be from using an inferior stain.
