How Do I Get Rid Of Algae by obstead200(m): 12:50pm On Aug 03, 2015 |
please, I need someone to recommend a chemical I can use in getting rid of algae in my compound. whenever it rains, the algae makes the ground very slippery and kids could easily fall and hurt themselves. |

Donald3d:thanks for replying. But the link was actually of very limited help to me. It only confirmed to me dat algae can be destroyed and then went ahead to suggest procedures and Chemicals which I have little or no knowledge about and which were not within my reach here in naija. I will prefer it if u can recommend specific chemicals I can easily obtain in naija markets to tackle dis issue. Remember my algae problem is on concrete floor and not a fish pond. Thanks once again for replying. More responses are welcome. |

obstead200: @obstead200: If you can get Oxygen Bleach (Sodium percarbonate: an adduct of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide). It is non-toxic and eco-friendly cleaning products compared to chlorine bleach which is highly toxic to plant, human, animals. Simply dissolve the powder (either of the bleach) in warm water (ratio of mixture is up to you though effect will be noticed based on cleaning performance and you can adjust mixture ratio accordingly for next use, till you become DIY Pro). Pour into a simple hand-pump sprayer. You can get an empty plastic bottles, make several tiny holes on the cover, fill up your solution and it's ready to be squirted on the algae-coated surfaces. Allow to soak for about 10-15 mins, then used a scrub brush to remove the green algae. Rinse with water. Hose with nozzle or partial finger block or slight compression force on hose exit will be better because it gives more throwing force on the scrubbed surface, thereby giving a algae-free surface. (You need to scrub the surface properly after the oxygen bleach solution soaks to have an excellent result). I hope the above procedure helps. Regards |
