811793 2009-09-19 05:35:00 Has anyone used 30 Second Wet And Forget to get rid of moss on cocrete paths, did it work? I have also heard using full strength Janola will do the job, what do you think? I also have 3 cats, would it be safe to let them walk on the paths while still wet or should I keep them inside until the paths are dry? Thanks.:) elvisfan (15262)
811794 2009-09-19 05:55:00 I just use boiling water, no chemicals, still have to scrape it away when it dies off though, whatever you use. Yes Janola is very good, but no, not good for cats.

811795 2009-09-19 06:29:00 Thankyou lakewoodlady for your quick response. I think I may use boiling water just to be on the safe side although I might still use Janola on some of the heavily infested areas. :) elvisfan (15262)

The moss goes all black and shrivels up, real neat death to moss.

If you read the instructions it's not 30 seconds. depending on the surface, eg concrete masonry and tiles you need to keep them wet with the stuff for 15 minutes.

I wouldn't use full strength Janola unless you want every thing turned white. (W&F does smell like bleach though)

Bleach & similar chemicals might give your flower garden or lawn a nasty shock.
The moss might be preferable to toxic dirt...
