We Smell Dreadful!
Yesterday Husband and I tackled the green algae that has conglomerated on our patio which is northfacing and never sees the sun. I started off with a cleaner called Armillatox - it was useless - I scrubbed, scrubbed and scrubbed some more. We left it over night - the patio still leered "green" at us. Husband scrubbed on dettol and we both smelt of old fashioned hospitals. Later in the day I was bent double like a giraffe (due to lack of knee bend) and scrubbed away with bleach - lovely job! Bleach and Dettol smells wafted through our clothes and hair - well my hair at least, Husband does not have too much!!!!

I think that's a job we will need to tackle before too long. I look forward to it as much as cleaning out the hen house. Also fragrant. Not.
I don't dislike seeing the patio a bit greenish. Isn't that what we are supposed to be doing? Going green?
Nuts in May
You've reminded me that I need to deal to the moss and other greenery that is attempting to take over the steps. Chlorine bleach does wonders - my only problem is that Zebbycat goes completely potty over the smell of it. He seems to find it even better than catnip!
(I know it is Halloween, but the world veri is a bit much: undeadsp!)
Wipso has one of those high powered washer things and that seems to clean her patio and brick drive really well. I wonder if they can be hired - saves some of the back ache!
Maggie - lol
Ewwww! Sounds very smelly and hard work, but hopefully worth it? :)
