Think the sealer is a good idea
Maybe in the Spring , get the slabs spotless and then seal ...makes sense and they will no doubt look a lot ,lot better.

Thanks indeed
Like the baking soda

I love the smell of James Fluid !
Unfortunately the other half does not.
In my wisdom , I poured some down the outside drains thinking it a good idea.
Apparently the garden smelt like a multi storey car park that had been just been disinfected.
The dark eye treatment again !

Lol

I use this a lot for sealing masonary and seems to work well.



or this

[jonjonck] 03/11/2017 12:36

Jeyes Fluid to answer part of the question. Bleach works well also once it dries to kill and remove algae, but leaves the perfect surface for moss and algae to grow again, so needs treating. You could try treating the stone with a solution of Baking soda, nice and cheap, to make the surfaces much more alkaline as moss prefers acidic conditions. Any excess white residues from the baking powder will wash away easily when it rains but leaves enough in the masonry pores to help.

Most Patio cleaners alone work pretty well especially if left to soak and then scrubbed gently with a broom. They should leave chemicals behind after rinsing which help protect against more moss etc. Just rinse off gently and not over do the rinsing. Messy job using a pressure washer and you still need chemicals to prevent moss forming again. A masonry sealant also helps.

Not too bad , back in time to be told
Mrs Ig is going shopping
Nice easy time mixing my Patio Magic stuff and applying slowly
£10.50 for 2.5 lines. .
JJ, as my fount of all knowledge , what else can I use that kills algae type stuff
Did use the Karscher once but not too great a job and took forever
Soaked the patio windows too
Mrs Ig had words !

Whenever her eyes seem to go dark , I run !

You are learning fast - soon you will be teaching the rest if us all the best tricks.
However I would take the phone, to phone home to say you are caught in a traffic jam while you sit in a cafe eating a jam butty.

[ignoble] 03/11/2017 09:09

Morning
Off to buy some patio cleaner on my own
I will be driving very slowly , stopping for petrol
Could drag it out for hours
I will accidentally leave my phone at home so can't be reached
Mrs Ig outsmarted

I will no doubt get a telling off for leaving my phone ...worth it though

[jonjonck] 03/11/2017 08:05

Good Morning.
He just wanted to see if time can really fly.

[gonzo123] 02/11/2017 20:29

JJ, that's why the boy threw the clock out the window.

[ignoble] 02/11/2017 20:22

Another at 6
Another at 8
10.30 and I go to bed

[gateside] 02/11/2017 20:22

Where's it gone... You must have been busy and not noticed it going, as you were too busy!!!

[jonjonck] 02/11/2017 19:54

Supper was mince and tatties...some left if you want it.
Poets day tomorrow...whoo hooo. Where the heck has this week gone!

[ignoble] 02/11/2017 19:53

Good evening
Home made chilli and rice

Being busy put on hold after 4.00 in
the afternoon which is when I have my
power nap

[jonjonck] 02/11/2017 19:52

Gates, I never pretend to be busy. I am either busy being busy or busy being not busy, but never pretending to be busy.

[gateside] 02/11/2017 19:27

JJ & Ig... Are you both still pretending to be busy?What's for supper?

[gonzo123] 02/11/2017 19:25

Evening all, tomorrow is poets day, so, pints of spleensplitter bumgravy all round , has anyone seen FFP's tab?

[ignoble] 02/11/2017 13:05

You got that right !

When will I ever learn

NEVER !

[jonjonck] 02/11/2017 10:06

Mrs Ig may just say "while you are busy and in the mood to do things you can do......"

[ignoble] 02/11/2017 09:59

I have made my own list of things to do
Made me look busy
So far , so good

Need some stuff to clean the patio
slabs
Green stuff taking hold and from experience
It becomes somewhat slippery when wet
Mrs Ig will be impressed

Dream on Ig
