How can I remove the green mossy mess on the side of the house without a pressure washer? What kind of cleaner would make it come off easyer? Please help....

  • You're going to wash it off by hand? Whew, that's a lot of work! Use warm soapy (Dawn) water with a little bleach and a scrub brush. Then hose it off.

    Spray bottle of mold and mildew cleaner can be bought at hardware stores. Spray, let set for recommended time and hose off.

    You can buy moss killer at Lowes or Home Depot, or use bleach/water mixture in a spray bottle.

    Use a broom (and a handle extension, if needed) and a pail of water with a little Dawn and 2 cups of bleach. Scrub away with the broom, and then hose down.

    For moss on my roof, I used Wet and Forget from a sprayer. Exactly as described, you don't have to do anything else. It works over time, and doesn't damage nearby plants.

    I've used Simple Green with great results. Dilute it, spray it on, let it sit for awhile and then hose it off. May depend on how mossy it is though. If real mossy may need to use a brush.
