You should pressure wash your tarmac before any sealing work is carried out. Remove any loose debris and general organic growth. Lightly pressure washing your tarmac does not damage the surface and will remove a lot of the obvious issues.
Light moss infestations can be removed via pressure washing, algae is usually removed by following this method as well.
We recommend at least using a hosepipe to remove any loose debris and sweep the surface clean once dry.
We then recommend pre-cleaning your tarmac with Floorseal Green Remover Concentrate. Once the surface is pressure washed or generally cleaned apply this product to the surface. The surface should be dry before application with no rain likely in the next 12 hours.
We recommend applying this product at least a week or two before sealing & colour restoring. Once the moss browns, pressure wash away (or scrape) and then apply Green Remover Concentrate again a few days before any colour restoring is carried out.
