Mold is a fungus that grows from tiny spores. These spores can be found just about anywhere but typically grow in moist, dark areas. Not only does mold look unattractive, but it can cause allergies and even breathing problems for people who are sensitive to it. In addition, mold can also damage the surface on which it is growing if left untreated. Green algae and brown algae can grow in any water that is not moving. Algae tend to like warm, stagnant water; they do not like sunlight. The best ways to get rid of the algae include scrubbing with a stiff bristle broom, pressure washing the surfaces, or applying chlorine bleach and rinsing afterward. Bleach is a very strong chemical that may damage your surface if it is not completely rinsed off. Algae will only grow if there is enough water to support its growth. To eliminate the algae problem in your ponds, you need to address any low-lying areas that are not draining properly.
When lawns are established, they should be fertilized and irrigation should be adjusted so that the soil never dries out. Oklahoma soils may take up to 10 months to anchor grass roots deeply enough to prevent soil compaction. Using a vacuum-type lawn aerator at least once per year will helpaerate compacted soil and provide more space in the topsoil for grass roots to grow into before penetrating lower layers of the soil.
The first and probably the easiest way to deal with thatch is by raking the lawn. Thatch is the layer of dead grass plant parts that accumulates from year to year above the normal grass growing height. Turning over this layer with a rake is an annual spring task in areas with dense shade. Before you begin raking, it must be noted that there is also living turfgrass present among the dead layers and this turf requires special care during this process. Do not rake or turn over the thatch itself; do not attempt to remove it with a shovel. The living grass plants must be protected from disturbance. Make sure to wear long trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, socks and work boots when turning over the thatch. Contact a Specialist Moss and Algae removal for better results.
In areas where moss and/or algae are found, it is important to remove them as soon as possible. This will ensure that they don't start spreading to areas such as stairs, doorways and window sills with greater ease. If you don't want to use harmful chemicals on the surface of your deck or patio, the best option is to call a Specialist Moss and Algae removal who can effectively take care of the job.
When it comes to concrete cleaning and care, it is frequently suggested to use a natural solution (more specifically, vinegar) which is mild on the surface as well as its occupants. Ideally, you want to start using a cleaner in your home which provides the same level of gentleness. This way, you are not only protecting your plants and pets, but also the property itself.
While commercial removers are considered a good, cost effective option, they can be hard to handle, and are much more difficult to use compared to natural moss remover methods. Additionally, mold removers should be used with caution, or you run the risk of damaging your belongings. Thus, when dealing with mold and algae removal, it is best to first understand what kind of surface you are dealing with. This will help eliminate your risks of damaging them in the process of removing these ugly spots from concrete.
