The science behind our products
When your patio, pathway, drive, or terrace was first laid, the stone looked beautiful and spotless. However, over time, microscopic lichen spores carried by wind and rain from surrounding trees landed on the stone. Since they were left untreated, the lichen spores start to feed off the mineral within your patio. They lay down roots and are unable to be removed with a pressure washer. Eventually the entire surface gets covered in what we call ‘Black Spots,’ which no amount of pressure washing will fully remove! If you’ve tried, you might be wondering how to remove black spots from your patio once and for all. That’s where we come in.
Patio Black Spot Remover removes lichen, algae, mold, and fungus, instantly restoring the natural color to patios, paths, and garden stonework. After applying our black spot remover, your patio tile, stone, or brick will look just as it did when it was new, no matter how old it is. Plus, our formula restores patios at a fraction of the cost it takes to lay new stone.
However, even after removing lichen from your patio, it will eventually come back if you don’t stop it from doing so. Fortunately, we also have the solution for how to prevent black spots on patios. Patio Black Spot Preventer, when applied annually, maintains the spotless finish and removes algae within a few days, without the need to pressure wash.
Lovingly Restores, Permanently Prevents!
Over the years, the perceived wisdom has been that the stronger the cleaner and the harder the pressure, the more chance you have of removing black spots from your stone. Nothing could be further than the truth.
Acid-based cleaners and endless pressure washing will permanently damage your stone. This approach will also cause short- and long-term damage to plants in the surrounding area.
Sandstone is sedimentary; it cures in layers and splits in layers. The vibration caused by pressure washing causes these layers to delaminate, destroying the surface and breaking the stone.
Patio Black Spot Remover gently removes black spots, completely restores the color to garden stonework of any age, and prevents the return of black spots. Our products are biodegradable and acid-free. Our expertise in stone led us to develop this unique system, and it’s why top garden centers throughout the UK have chosen to stock our brand. Luckily, you won’t need to travel to the UK to buy these products, as they are now available in the USA.
To keep your patio free from black spots after they've been removed, apply our Patio Black Spot Preventer.

You simply dilute, spray, and leave on the stone to work its magic. There is no need to pressure wash.
