What is zerogreen® green algae remover with long-term protection?
Here's a quick overview: zerogreen® Green Growth Remover with Long-Term Protection is an advanced formula specifically designed to remove stubborn green growth, algae and fungi from a variety of surfaces while providing long-lasting protection.

Preparation before use
Before using the zerogreen® green algae remover with long-term protection, please note the following:
- Consumption calculation : Make sure you have enough product for your area. Use our consumption calculator to help you. If in doubt, create a test area in the desired mixing ratio.
- Preliminary work : Remove coarse debris such as foliage, leaves and heavy moss growth from the surface. Cover sensitive adjacent components, such as raw metals (or similar), well.
- Protective clothing : Wear appropriate protective clothing, including gloves and safety glasses.
- Check the weather conditions : Check the weather forecast to make sure it will not rain within 24 hours after application. In case of spontaneous rain, the area can be covered, but be sure to allow adequate air circulation afterwards.
Step-by-step instructions for use
zerogreen® green algae remover is very easy to use, we promise:
Step 1: Surface preparation
Start by removing coarse dirt such as foliage, leaves, heavy moss growth or other debris from the area. The green algae remover should be able to be applied directly to the surface to be treated.
Step 2: Adjust the mixing ratio
Mix the zerogreen® green growth remover with water in the desired ratio. We recommend diluting it to a maximum of 1:10. Use our recommendations in the consumption calculator or test the product on a small area. For light green growth, a ratio of 1:10 is usually sufficient. For heavier soiling, it may be necessary to adjust the mixing ratio.
Professional tip: The zerogreen® green algae remover with long-term protection is also ideal after high-pressure cleaning to prevent rapid re-greening.
Step 3: Apply solution
Apply the prepared solution evenly and generously to the area to be treated. A pressure sprayer is ideal for this as it offers the best cost-benefit ratio. Alternatively, the solution can also be applied with a watering can or spray gun. Consumption can vary considerably here.
Pro tip: Use a pressure sprayer made entirely of plastic (including the nozzle) to avoid corrosion.
Step 4: Exposure time
After application, the surface should be protected from rain and moisture for at least 24 hours. Once dry, the surface can be used normally again by humans and animals.
Professional tip: If the dirt is particularly dirty, the effect can be increased by brushing it in. Please also ensure that the product does not get into areas where animals live, such as fish ponds.
Step 5: Duration of action
The active ingredient in the green algae remover is released over a longer period of time. This means that dirt does not disappear immediately, but gradually. The duration depends on the intensity of the dirt and the mixing ratio.
Professional tip: For immediately visible results and long-lasting protection at the same time, we recommend the combined use of our green algae remover Turbo for cleaning and then the green algae remover with long-term protection for sustainable care.
Step 6: Aftercare
If green deposits reappear, the zerogreen® green deposit remover with long-term protection can be used immediately for follow-up treatment.
Pro tip: Regular use, for example every year in spring, even without visible green deposits, keeps the area permanently clean and saves costs and effort in the long term. We offer automatic delivery at the desired interval and you can save money at the same time!
