Moss remover from the kitchen - tips on tried and tested home remedies
The use of chemical agents has long been frowned upon in environmentally and health-conscious households. Consequently, the focus is on classic home remedies to remove the annoying and slippery moss layer from stones. You can use the following moss remover (€ 8.11 at Amazon *) straight away, because they are part of the basic equipment on every kitchen shelf:
- Dissolve 20 g of soda in 10 l of boiling water, spread on the paving stones and leave for a few days
- Stir 15 g of potassium permanganate into 10 l of water, spray onto the moss-covered stones and brush off after 5 hours
- Apply apple cider vinegar to the patio or paving stones, leave on for 24 hours and scrub off
- Spray undiluted cola on small infested areas, leave it on for a few days and sweep away the dead moss

The recommended moss shredders (€ 8.11 at Amazon *) from the kitchen are all the more successful the more consistently they are used. As is typical for all home remedies, a single application is usually not enough. Don't let that confuse you. Instead, repeat the application until you have removed all the moss from the stones and terrace.
Eliminate moss with muscle fat - this is how it works
It is an incontrovertible fact that pavement made of natural stone and exposed aggregate concrete reacts very sensitively to processing with liquids of all kinds. Instead of using a moss killer that is too sharp and does more harm than good, you can remove moss effectively and without risk manually. This works best with a wire brush or grout brush when the moss covering is damp.
Skip high-pressure cleaners and thermal devices
Do not attack the moss on your terrace or the paved path with a pressure washer (€ 85.90 at Amazon *) or a flame device. Such brutal control methods only appear to remove the green coating from stones. In fact, the surface is so affected that the next generation of moss has an easy time of it and spreads all the more stubbornly.
