Does Wet & Forget work?

I recently used Wet & Forget on some wood siding and haven't seen results, yet. I sprayed it on the house about a month ago and wanted to see if I should give it more time or do a second spraying. Thanks for your help. BTW, based on everyone's response I wanted to post before & after pics either here or on my sight (www.homerepairtutor.com).

Hewitt Remodeling Service... Virginia Beach, VA

I was a skeptic until I decided to test it last fall. Here in Virginia Beach it is pretty normal with the high humidity to get algea/mildew on the north side or your house. The directions say you have to spray it on and then be patient...it doesn't work overnight....but about a month later, I noticed it working.
It works very well in killing the moss/mold/mildew and algea....that is all I wanted it to ...»
do. I never expected it to remove the stains/build-up without some physical assistance; i.e.: pressure washing or brushing... because that doesn't make sense.
The most impressive part of the product is after 8 months, the algea/mildew has not come back.
Again, you have to be patient and it is not going to remove the stain or "dead" algea/mildew. It depends upon the rain to do that. It even says on the directions that the elements (wind/rain) will slowly wash off the stain; if the surface is not exposed to direct rainfall or it is vertical, assistance may be required to remove the stains.
This is not "genie in a bottle"... but it worked great for me for what I wanted/needed it to do. Tim
