The wall on which the moss is spreading is probably in the shade, it's cool and slightly damp there. This climate is ideal for moss and it will be difficult to remove it permanently. Nevertheless, you should not immediately resort to chemical agents, there are quite effective home remedies.
Moss is best brushed off on rough walls
What home remedies can I use on a wall?
If your wall is relatively smooth, for example made of concrete, then you can use hot water and a scrubbing brush. A solution with vinegar makes your work easier, as does soft soap. (44.90€) However, vinegar has the advantage that it then takes some time for moss to settle on the areas treated with it.
On a rough wall, for example made of natural stone, you will probably not be able to reach all areas with a scrubber, so you should use a brush here. Moss should be easy to remove from small areas with coke, as it contains plenty of phosphoric acid. You should definitely rinse off these home remedies thoroughly after treatment, because the sugar they also contain attracts insects and ants.
High-pressure cleaners (€119.90) are considered to be the most environmentally friendly method of removing moss, as they only work with water and pressure. If you "empty" the joints during treatment, then be sure to fill them up again afterwards. A gas burner also removes the moss in no time. Unfortunately, it also creates an atmosphere in which moss settles very quickly.
The essentials in brief:
- also use home remedies wisely (soda, cola, vinegar, etc.)
- if possible only work with clean water
- High-pressure cleaners are particularly environmentally friendly
- Gas burners only help in the short term
