    Green Algae build-up on vinyl siding is a very common issue in my area (Illinois). Many homeowners avoid cleaning the siding since they don't want to drag out the ladder, pressure washer, brush, etc. With the use of Wet & Forget this once painful project will be reduced to a few minutes and be an easy maintenance item that you don't avoid in the future.

    I think you should (in good faith) disclose to the viewers on whether you're sponsored by this brand or not. Every time you promote something you SHOULD be honest and share if it is true trial or you're making money off of it. It's the decent thing to do. Otherwise, product looks great!

    Wet n Forget is a great product. I’ve been using the concentrated version for years. As stated, people shouldn’t expect it to work immediately. While it will look better, I’ve found that it can take as long as a month to work. I usually don’t have to reapply until 3 years or so.
    It’s also safe to use on headstones. We had some family headstones that were barely legible. I just put some Wet n Forget in a jar, and applied it with a foam brush. The ones that were really filthy took a couple applications, but they did clean up.

    I use this each spring on my Florida tile roof, patio screen enclosure and paver driveway. I’ve done this for years, it works. What I have learned is once you wet an area keep moving on to a dry area. Making additional passes over a wet area does nothing but waste product.

      @@EverydayHomeRepairs yeah, it's actually pretty funny when you use it. You spray it on the mildew and the next thing you know it's completely gone.....like 30 seconds is generous. I sprayed it on and then turned around to grab my scrub brush and in that time it had completely removed all of it.
      It reeks of bleach though..... pretty sure it's mostly just bleach.

      To keep it from coming back, slide a strip of copper under the top most shingles leaving most exposed. Rain will dissolve some and it will run down the shingles. Copper is a natural biocide

    I tried a similar product a few years ago, but, all it did was "bleach" the algae/mold/mildew, which came back a year, later. Water, soap, and bleach (or vinegar or lemon) and scrubbing did much better, though, it, too, came back, eventually (2-3 years later). And none of these are good for cedar shakes. :,(

      You do not have to rinse it off as the wind, rain, and snow will do all the rinsing and scrubbing for you. If the surface is covered and will never receive rainfall, you will want to rinse with water every now and then from a hose on a jet setting to keep the cleaning process going.
