As winter turns to spring, many people venture into their gardens to discover paths and patios have developed a thick coating of moss. Our increasingly mild and damp winters create an ideal breeding ground for moss, making affected areas slippery and unsightly. But there is an easy and cost effective way to have your paths and patios looking clean and clear in time for summer, Soda Crystals from Dri-Pak!

Traditionally, Soda Crystals have been utilized in a range of cleaning and laundry tasks, however, it is a little known fact that they are also extremely effective for removing moss. Soda Crystals are an alkali based cleaner, and unlike most specialist garden cleaners do not contain bleach, meaning they will not take colour out of the stonework when used on patios and paths.

To remove moss, simply sprinkle Soda Crystals directly onto affected area and use a watering can or hose to dampen. Alternatively, put down Soda Crystals when rain is expected. Leave for approximately one day, or until the moss turns brown. Use a firm brush to remove moss, and thoroughly rinse area to remove any residue. Soda Crystals are biodegradable, but care should be used when the rinsing water is near ponds or other plant life.
Soda Crystals can also be used to remove moss from stone ornaments. Simply spray affected areas with liquid Soda Crystals and leave for an hour before giving it a stiff brushing and rinsing away.

Soda Crystals are available from selected supermarkets and hardware stores in 1kg bags and have a RRP of £0.84. For further information or uses for Soda Crystals, please visit www.dri-pak.co.uk
