We have been using Wet & Forget for about 6 years. Living in SW Florida our tile roofs start to get moldy and dirty after about a year and half. Many have hired someone to pressure wash their roofs at a cost of at least $300. Our roof looks better then most that have had their roof pressure washed a year ago. We apply Wet& &Forget each spring just before the rainy season starts. I do not have to walk on our roof because my pump I use will reach our entire roof from a step ladder. Many know that walking on a tile roof may cause the tiles to crack and break. Fixing broken tiles can be expensive. I have recommended Wet &Forget to many others and they are extremely satisfied with the results. It is well worth the cost of this product. Just make sure you follow the directions exactly or it will not work as it should.

Hi Mike,
Yes, Wet & Forget can be used on any exterior surface where you have moss, mold or mildew – including vinyl and aluminum siding. All you need is an afternoon where the temperature is above 32 degrees during the application and drying time. Drying time usually takes about 4 to 5 hours on average. Once the Wet & Forget has dried, temps can dip below 32 and it will not affect the cleaning process. The best part about fall and winter application is that all the snow, wind and rain assists the cleaning process.

Looks like a great product. Can it be applied to aluminum or vinyl siding during the winter? It’s December here in the midwest, but I’ll have a few days with temps in the mid 50’s when I can apply it. Thanks!

Luke -

Thank you for your response. The black mold is in an area with a large overhang so I will start to water it each week.

Hi Jimmy,

Thanks for writing in with your question. Wet & Forget is a gentle product that takes time to work. On green colored mold and mildew growths, cleaning time takes 3-4 weeks. On black mold and mildew, it takes on average 8 weeks. The lightening you are seeing at 3 weeks is normal and a good sign that the product is starting to clean off the black mold.

If you applied the product correctly with a pump up sprayer, and the cedar siding is exposed to the rain, you do not need to re-apply. Wet & Forget works with the rain over time to clean off the surface. If the area is not exposed to the rain, you will need to water it down on a weekly basis with your pump sprayer or garden hose to simulate natural rainfall. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

I applied W&F to my cedar siding 3 wks ago to some black mold areas. I can see that it is starting to work as the black areas are now patchy and not solid. Is this the way it works and should I apply a second application for good measure? The stain is only a few years old in shady an area that does not get a lot of sun and I hated to re-stain the whole side so this works great for me.

Hi Ginny,
Thanks for contacting us with your question. Wet & Forget is designed to work on organic growths such as moss, mold, mildew and algae. If you have a mold or mildew causing the browning due to concrete area being shaded by the trees, then Wet & Forget can help. If the browning is due to tree sap or other reasons, Wet & Forget will not be able to clean those stains. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know.

I just saw a TV ad for your product and it looked interesting. My concrete patio is darkened (brown)from being under an oak tree. Will Wet&Forget lighten the concrete?

Hi Garry,

Thanks for contacting us with your question. As you know, Wet & Forget is a gentle product that takes time to work. Usually, a green mold or mildew cleanup takes 3-4 weeks or less. The average time for cleanup on a black mold and mildew takes 6-8 weeks. The time-frame depends on how severe a moss, mold or mildew problem you have on the deck and how much rainfall you are getting. You can assist the Wet & Forget with a light power washing once it has been on the surface for a week or two if you want. Regardless, make sure the moss, mold and mildew has been removed from the deck before you re-stain so that you are not staining in any mold or mildew. If you have any further questions, please let us know.
