Product details

Patio black spot remover for natural stone.

Anyone who has tried black lichen removal will know it is very difficult to remove. It does not respond to pressure washing alone as it is a heavily bonded and deeply ingrained. General patio cleaners need not apply here! Most cheap patio cleaners are just simply too weak to remove the black spot. They may have some effect but usually do not remove all black lichens. The only option then is to apply the solution repeatedly thus extending your working time. This also means you actually spend more money on an ineffective product.

By using our Black Spot Remover Plus it is a case of doing the job right with a full strength product! This black spot remover comes in 5 litre and 25 litre containers with free delivery!

Patio Black Spot Remover Plus is applied neat using a low- pressure sprayer, watering can or straight from the container. Patio Black Spot Remover Plus is highly effective at cleaning all garden stonework including walls and natural stone patios. Apply it to pavers, slabs, block paving and driveways for rapid effect. Simply rinse the area after treatment and pressure wash the surface for best results. We highly recommend our Patio Black Spot Remover Plus as the best product for black spot removal on the market. This is an excellent patio black lichen remover for all natural stone. It provides fantastic results on difficult to remove organic marks and stains. It can also be used on external tiles, concrete, block paving and brickwork.

If your Indian sandstone patio is suffering from black spot contamination you may have tried to pressure wash it with no effect. Our black spot remover will remove a black spot from Indian sandstone where pressure washing fails. This product will also remove a black spot from Yorkshire sandstone flags. Patio Black Spot Remover Plus is a fantastic professional strength product. Simply apply the product neat and leave it to dwell and work its magic.

Patio Black Spot Remover Plus is designed to be applied neat with a dwell time, this can be specifically determined by carrying out a test patch. Typically this will be no less than an hour and you can extend dwell times and repeat for very heavy build ups. Apply with a low-pressure sprayer, watering can or straight from the container. Lightly pre-wet the surface with clean water surface before applying the product. Apply Patio Black Spot Remover Plus neat and allow the product to dwell on the surface for at least 1 hour. Do not allow the product to dry out during this time. To prevent the product from drying either add more product or mist over the area with clean water. Periodically agitate the area with a stiff brush. After around an hour has elapsed rinse Patio Black Spot Remover Plus away with clean water. For best results pressure wash the area that has been treated.

If you wish to prevent a reinfestation of black spot please use our Moss & Algae Remover Plus. It can be applied to new installations of external stone, block pavers or concrete as a preventative measure. Moss & Algae Remover Plus can also be used after black spot has been removed using Patio Black Spot Remover Plus. This will prevent the spores of any new lichens germinating on the surface. It is very economical and is to be used annually to prevent black spot returning.

    Steven H –

    Totally transformed my Twenty year old Patio. I thought I would have one last try to remove the black spots before giving up and replacing the paving completely but thanks to this product My Patio looks great and it has saved me a fortune not having to buy a new one. Well worth the money because cheaper products simply didn’t work.

    My review is almost identical to that of Steven H. Our terrace has been down around twenty years and due to the blackspot on the sandstone slabs and surrounding wall we were thinking about a complete overhaul. Decided that it was worth the £120 to see if the chemical would make a difference. Delivery came the next day after ordering. Absolutely incredible results. Wall is back to the original bathstone colour and Indian sandstone paving stones are blackspot free. Have some great before/after photos which we’ve been sending out to all our family. Can recommend 100%. Many thanks.

    Unbelievably good. I have never had a sandstone terrace before and did not know what to do about the black marks that had appeared. Scrubbing and pressure washer did not shift them but this amazing product cleared them all up in under one hour – so quick and easy to use and brilliant results. I am so grateful and want everyone who has the same issue to know about it!

    First of all, let me thank-you for the excellent service. Ordered on Sunday night (in effect, Monday morning); received the order at 9.30 on Tuesday morning. I made a phone call query about the product, and was given a very comprehensive and helpful answer. Thank-you once again.
    The product has now been used and is excellent. The vast majority of black spot was removed with the first application. A few stubborn spots went with the second “spot” applicaion. Overall an excellent product.

    My review is the same as everyone else’s. Needed the 25l size for the amount of stone I had and could not believe the results. I had used a pressure spray every couple of years but was never happy with the outcome. They now look exactly how they did when I laud them in 2003. Thank you.

    Adrian Walter –

    Like everyone else I found this product to be really effective at removing black spots from my Indian sandstone. Sadly I spent 30% more for 25% less of a competitive product before I tried this, and when I did I wasn’t confident enough to order 25litres so I’m going to have to buy some more!
    One thing to note is that the instructions are correct when they say not to apply it too sparingly. We had to do a second application in some areas where it was obviously sprayed on too thinly. The other thing is, don’t wear anything you want to keep, unless you want that 60’s tie-dyed look afterwards!

    So pleased with this product. Read the other reviews and was encouraged and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s taken away all the black spot and brought the patio back to life. Going to use the sealer and colour intensifier as well to finish the job properly

    WOW.. This product is simply amazing. If I could give 6 stars out of 5 I would. My patio looks like the day it was laid.

    I was so keen to use I forgot to wet the surface first, but I could see instantly the lichens disappear.

    Amazing product. I only bought 5 litres which was a little shy of what I needed but you can see how dramatically different the untreated slabs are. I’ll be ordering more.

    My Indian sandstone patio was laid about 5-6 years ago, and it has had a number of pressure washes during that time, but it was looking dull and dirty and full of black spot, which pressure washing alone doesn’t shift. I found Floorseal and thought I’d give it a go.

    For a start, Graeme at Floorseal was super helpful with what I needed in terms of products and what quantity I should buy, and he was full of help and advice on the application of the products too. And the products are delivered by Fedex next day when purchased direct from Floorseal.

    I started off with the Black Spot Remover, which is truly an amazing product. The instruction on the pack and the website are really good, but I also spoke to Graeme at Floorseal, who talked me through what to expect, which prepared me really well (I’m no pro at this sort of stuff, by any means!).

    I used a low pressure sprayer to apply (bought on Amazon for about £10), which was super easy to use. I bought the 25L quantity for about 50 sq m of patio and had about 4L left when finished. I’m know I could’ve used less product, but as this was the first time I’ve used it, I aired on the side of caution and applied more than I needed to make sure of the coverage. Also, the 25L option is cheaper than 3x 5L tubs, so it was a no brainer for me to go for the 25L option.

    The basic process was to moisten the patio, then liberally apply the Black Spot Remover. You can see it starting to work immediately, but Graeme at Floorseal was very specific to ensure a decent “dwell” time, i.e. how long the product is kept on the patio. It is important to keep the patio moist during this time, by either topping up with more product or spraying lightly with water. I chose to apply more product to keep the patio moist, which is probably why I went through so much product, but I don’t regret that at all, as the results are phenomenal.

    After the product has “dwelled” for about 60 mins, I washed it off with a hose and then followed up with a pressure wash. The results were unbelievable, with all black spot gone!

    I followed up with the Indian Sandstone Sealer & Colour Intensifer treatment which is a fantastic product too, which I have also reviewed.

    I’m so happy with the finish and it’s brought my 5-6 year old patio back to life. I can’t recommend Floorseal’s products and company more. Thank you Floorseal.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, apply the product neat and allow to dwell for at least an hour – extend the dwell time if required. Repeat the process if required.

A build up that has taken 10 years to form will be more difficult to remove that 1 single years growth.

The black spot remover takes up to an hour to work. It can be less if the contamination is light.

Extend the dwell time if required.

Up to 25m2 from a 5 litre container. The product can also be bought in 25 litre containers.

They are lichens and they are almost impossible to remove by jet washing.

Pre wet the surface with clean water. Mist additional water over the patio or better still add more product.

Dwell time is very important – Extend the dwell time up to 4 hours, keep the product/surface wet and agitate periodically.

A single very long dwell time is actually more important than trying to repeat the process over multiple applications with shorter dwell times.

You have not carried out a test patch! By using a test patch you have the information to remove the black spot.

  • You may have exceeded the coverage rate of no more than 25m2 per 5 litre container.
  • Keep the surface wet the product is applied to visibly wet.
  • You will know the product is working as the black spot starts to turn white.
  • Dwell time is critical – extend up to 4 hours if required.
  • Do not let the product dry out.
  • Repeat the process for very heavy build ups.

All black spot removers, patio cleaners, moss & algae removers or weed killers have the potential to damage surrounding plants.

The way you apply a black spot remover is important in reducing any potential impact.

When wetting out the area to be treated also wet out the surrounding bedding pants and lawns. The product will be diluted if it mists over these areas and loses its strength.

The way a black spot is neutralised is by using more water to dilute. It has no residual effect when dry. It is a contact product and will not continue to work when dry, it is not a biocide.
