1. Make a solution of 23L of cold water to 600ml of liquid bleach in a bucket
Select your moss killer. You can buy commercial products but an easy homemade moss killer using diluted bleach to prevent discolouration is also a good option. Simply mix 23L of water
and 600ml of liquid bleach, such as Domestos, in a large bucket.
2. Add the solution into a spray bottle
Put your diluted bleach solution into a spray bottle. A garden or backpack sprayer is your best option here for quick and easy coverage.
3. Spray the solution onto the moss
Spray the moss-affected areas. Make sure that there is full coverage to get the full effect of your homemade moss killer.
4. Leave to soak for around 15 minutes
Leave it to soak. When it comes to understanding how to get rid of moss on concrete, even homemade solutions need time to work. For your bleach solution to fully kill off the moss it requires around 15 minutes.
5. Remove the bleach solution completely with warm water
Use clean, warm water to fully rinse the area. This includes any mossy areas you have treated. You need to make sure you fully remove all traces of bleach to ensure it doesn’t adversely affect
the concrete, tarmac or another driveway surface.
6. Leave for a few hours
Leave it for a few hours. By the time you come back, you should find that the moss has been killed off. To be sure, check the colour. Dead moss will have turned a yellow colour.
7. Use a hard-bristled brush to remove the moss
Work methodically across your drive.
