Wet and Forget Outdoor Extreme Reach REVIEW - Results after one full year - Remove Moss & Mold

[@WetAndForget]

Thank you so much for reviewing our product and waiting a year for full results, excellent video!

[@fixandplay826]

You’re welcome.

[@patrickr9606]

This stuff works. You saturate the roof tiles and give it TIME. IT TAKES 4-5 months to see final results. This cleaned lichens and moss. I used concentrate in a garden sprayer. IT WORKS!

[@fixandplay826]

Thanks for sharing your review! It’ll help lots of people on here

[@skohcl]

Gotta' say it's super nice to get an opinion over a long period of time... 90% of the negative reviews complain about how it didn't work after 1 week or 1 month. Seems like 3 months is the requirement to get the results you want. So 1 year - awesome, thanks!

[@fixandplay826]

Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad the video helped

[@jeffspitzer1751]

Thanks for the comment. YES! You must be patient with this product and it will eventually work

[@cmandas1598]

Orrrr you just hire someone like myself who does a roof wash the professional way and have it looking brand new in a week!

@@fixandplay826 If you are still reading this page: When you used your garden hose end sprayer were you using W&F concentrate 1-5 mixture or the mixture that came with the W&G hose end sprayer? Either way, what did you set your dial to? Thanks.

[@fixandplay826]

I was using the mixture that came in the W&F hose end sprayer. Putting the original concentrate in the bottle may work better, but I've never tried it. I set my dial on the sprayer to FULL BLAST!

[@lynngrissom6721]

My house and garage is white vinyl. Trees around both cause green algae and mold. One application of Wet and Forget did the trick! After a couple of weeks all the grime was gone! Love this stuff!

[@deezee6732]

I tried this product about 2 years ago. I used the tank application formula and used my garden sprayer to cover what I could of my tile roof. I checked month after month and saw no real difference and I chalked up the experience as just another product that didn't live up to the hype and I forgot about it.. Then after about 6 or 7 months (I'm in Southern California so we don't get much rain) I noticed the roof was looking much better. After another month or so the roof was completely clear of the green/black stains I had for years. I admit I was amazed. The part of the roof I was able to reach with the sprayer actually looks brand new. Now the only problem is there is a line across my roof where the sprayed part is completely clean and the top half is still covered with moss and mold. 😆 I bought this version with the built in sprayer and reached the top of the roof. Now the waiting game begins. Bottom line is if you aren't in a hurry...this product is great. And be prepared to wait 6 months or longer depending on your rainfall amounts and how stained your roof is. Eventually you'll see an amazing difference.

[@jeffspitzer1751]

Thanks for the comment! This is some great info you provided. It does take sometime for this product to work, but it eventually will. Patience will pay off.

[@fixandplay826]

Thank you for your experience!

[@MaDGriZz78]

How often do you apply it ??

[@deezee6732]

Hi MaD. I applied it once but was only able to reach the lower half of my roof. It took about 6+months, but it came completely clean. When I sprayed the upper part of the roof, the wait was only about 4 months until it was clean (it was a bit quicker because we had more rain that time.) The roof is holding up great , still completely clean and it's been 2+ years. I'll probably spray it again in another 2 years.

Great video! The product advertisements I have seen don't mention waiting weeks / months / etc for full results, so I'm glad I saw this (and all the comments below). Keep up to good work!

[@donaldwbarkey7458]

Wonderful product that kills moss, cleans mildew/mold off everything including house siding, window frames, roofing, etc etc!!! Keep up the good work Wet & Forget Outdoors!

[@fixandplay826]

Thanks for the comment

[@johnspitzer5022]

I saw this roof in person on 8//15/21 and it looked pretty darn good....

[@brianwintermute9551]

Have used the concentrate mixed in my garden sprayer. Sprayed the concrete pool deck, other concrete walkways and pad etc. Overnight saw a difference. With the rain and Sun it seems to keep on working. The concrete looked almost new. Next I will try it on the roof portion that faces north and has some mold on it.

[@fixandplay826]

Good stuff

[@StevenLNew]

You can always pour the original into the extreme reach bottle and you have the best of both worlds.

[@fixandplay826]

Sounds like a good plan to me!

[@tonyalways7174]

I’ve never used it on a roof but I use it on my drive and brick terrace every year and it’s brilliant stuff. Both are north facing and moss is a real problem. Don’t expect quick results so regular use is required.

[@fixandplay826]

Great comment! Exactly, don’t expect quick results. It’s a slow process but works well

[@SolHersh]

nothing better then chlorine aka sodium hypochlorite aka bleach aka clorox

[@ericmelodia3516]

Thanks for the video. Just bought this stuff at Costco. Your video helped me out a lot. 👍

[@fixandplay826]

Great! I’m glad the video was useful

[@heystarfish100]

The product is the same but the one comes with a hose attached sprayer which can be installed to change the pattern. I add a shutoff lever valve on my hose end so I can leave the applicator turned on yet easily shut the water off or lower the pressure by closing the valve. The product works great over time but sometimes a second application in a few months will help really tough stains disappear quicker. The bottle without the sprayer needs to be mixed with water into a container. That can change the rate of product being applied. I recommend the one with the sprayer as it makes the job much easier.

[@MarkThomasBuilder]

Did you dilute the original cleaner to the suggested amount ratio or was it a a stronger mix?

[@fixandplay826]

I used the suggested amount of the original cleaner for that little corner part of the roof

[@vickiparson8150]

[@billyflanagan9657]

@fixandplay826 just get the tips for long distance I use the pink nozzle not the blue one and I get great coverage

[@jpaul4595]

Very nice video thank you very much. How did you apply the original wet and forget on the corner? Also, do you think you could use the original and put it in the container that has the long reach and apply it that way?

[@fixandplay826]

I applied the original wet and forget with a pump and spray applicator, like I normally do with all applications around the yard. I think it would be worth a shot to put the original wet and forget in the long reaching outdoor bottle, but I have never tried it so I cannot say how well it works

[@stoptellingmewhattowrite]

Could you post an update for this ... real curious how it turned out. I had good results with this stuff on concrete stucco, now testing it on pavers and raised flower beds with concrete/rock mix. Definitely takes times and a few rain events to start the cleaning process. Thanks for the video!

[@fixandplay826]

The update is in the video. The video shows the results after one year

[@Reesearoon]

Thanks for your video. Was on the fence but now I'm convinced!! They should be paying you commission. ;o) FYI, quite a few reviews are currently saying the sprayer is falling apart and spraying solution all over them. We're going old-school, but will keep watch if the company fixes the sprayer problem. Fingers crossed.

[@fixandplay826]

Old school will probably clean better, but you’ll use more solution. Next time I do it, I’m jumping on the roof with a big sprayer with the original solution

[@fortheearth]

Great demo and review thanks!

[@fixandplay826]

Thanks, hoped it helped

😂 thanks! Check out my video on how to kill weeds!! LOL

Very nice lawn. Maybe he'll do a video on how he does it!!! ...please.

[@2wrdr]

What if you take the original formula and use it as a refill to the outdoor sprayer used in this video? You can buy a refill for this sprayer but it is much more expensive. You can get the original formula for $34/gallon then put it in the sprayer, but maybe there is a difference in strength?

[@fixandplay826]

Hey! That’s a great idea!

[@2wrdr]

@@fixandplay826 Possibly, as stated perhaps there is a difference in strength which would change the effective water to product mix.

[@fixandplay826]

Yeah, I think it would be worth a shot

[@B_HarTz]

Got this at Walmart and didn’t come with the Interchangeable tip, and as I still used it. The black tip inside just popped off. (Many reviewers on the site said the same thing) so I still used it. I was able to get on the roof but I would buy 5+ plastic .99 cent spatula and scrub/pick out all the moss/algae from the shingle, blow with blower then add this stuff. (If you can get on the roof). So we’ll see in a few days if it helped or if I just wasted the spray bottle since it was all broken and missing lol good video 👍👍👍

[@Reesearoon]

A TON of reviews lately are saying the sprayer is really bad -even dangerous as it pops off and sprays on you. We're getting the concentrate and using our own sprayer. Thanks for verifying!

[@DanDDirges]

I wonder if it would kill off the moss growing on my roof. Only one way to find out I guess

[@fixandplay826]

Did it work??

[@michaelmason4206]

Thanks for the review

[@LucyTheBichonFrise]

Do you know if that works with tile roofs?

[@fixandplay826]

Absolutely

[@kevincurley5065]

Hi could the original go in the little bottle of my pressure washer and spay it that way

[@fixandplay826]

Yes! You could do that for sure. The original cleaned better but doesn’t have the same coverage. Plus you’d have to walk all around the roof to apply it. If you have no problem with that, go for it

[@SB-gl4lh]

Do you think the extreme product would most likely need to be sprayed twice? Maybe some months apart to get the same cleaner effect as the first product you mentioned?

[@fixandplay826]

I haven’t done that to know for sure, but I bet doing a second application months later would yield better results

[@leroygooding6954]

will this product hurt outdoor shrubbery

[@fixandplay826]

It could cause brown spots on shrubs if you don’t wash it away afterward. Was off the shrubs with water after applying the Wet & Forget. You can also visit the Wet & Forget website for more info

[@lifeinmn]

Can I refill the Extreme Reach sprayer with the original solution?

[@fixandplay826]

Yes, it’s basically just a sprayer. Put the original solution diluted correctly with water and go for it

[@mannyk1986]

How does it take to clear algae?

[@fixandplay826]

Several Months

[@noNumber2Sherlock]

Hi, you say the original cleans better but it doesn't come with that hose applicator that the outdoor does , so what do you use? Thanks for the great video!

[@fixandplay826]

I use the original for smaller applications. Some people have suggested using the original, and pour it into the “outdoor” bottle. That’s probably the best bet if the outdoor potency isn’t enough for you

Quick question for this group. If I use this and then come over top of it with let’s say simple green will that stop it from working?

[@colesteele3972]

I was told by a roofer named Ray You dont spray roofs on a windy day.

[@fixandplay826]

Yes, I would also recommend not spraying on a windy day. Sometime you might not have that luxury though 🤷‍♂️

[@robcrowe1550]

Can you buy concentrate and put in sprayer bottle and use??

[@fixandplay826]

Yes you can…but it doesn’t go over as much surface area. It’ll be more expensive because you will need more bottles

[@KyleMatt11]

I don’t get it….So results are immediate? Am I understanding this right, if you want to see results, you have to wait a year? It’s like running your car through the car wash and having it come out dirty on the other end and being told oh don’t worry it’ll look great in a year.

[@fixandplay826]

Results are not immediate. It doesn’t take a year, more like 6 months. I just made the video over one year to make sure it had sufficient time to do its job. This isn’t dirt like a car, it’s mold, which doesn’t just wash away

[@donlucas1631]

Can you refill the long reach with some original wet and forget?

[@fixandplay826]

That’s a good question. I would not suggest putting the original in the sprayer. It will get mixed with the water from the hose and will probably be diluted differently than it needs to be. If you’re looking for better results than the outdoor sprayer, I would suggest getting on the roof and spraying with the original.

[@donlucas1631]

@@fixandplay826 You would think they would make it so you could buy in bulk and use there sprayer. I have decided to go a different direction and that’s mix it up in my yard sprayer and do it that away. It would be nice if the manufacturer would give us an option or the answer to the question. Thanks for your answer

[@3Pillers]

Will it harm plants and shrubs?

[@fixandplay826]

Wet & Forget, a popular outdoor cleaning product designed to remove mold, mildew, moss, and algae from surfaces, can potentially harm shrubs and plants if it comes into direct contact with them in large quantities. However, it is generally safe to use if you take precautions to protect your plants. Tips to Avoid Harm: 1. Dilution: Always follow the dilution instructions on the product label. 2. Avoid Direct Contact: When applying Wet & Forget, avoid spraying it directly onto shrubs, flowers, or other plants. Try to shield nearby plants or rinse them with water immediately if they are accidentally sprayed. 3. Watering Plants: Before applying Wet & Forget, it’s a good idea to thoroughly water any nearby plants. This helps reduce the risk of absorption if they are accidentally exposed. 4. Rinse Off: After applying Wet & Forget to surfaces near plants, use a garden hose to rinse off any overspray from plants to minimize the risk of damage. By being cautious and following these guidelines, you can minimize any potential harm to your shrubs and plants.

[@yunzhonggao3175]

I was hoping that I could spray the roof from the ground, but from your video it looks like you still have to get on a ladder because it does not go very far. Also I was frustrated that it has to go through all the WATER positions when turning to ON or OFF, which makes it inconvenient if I want to pause the sprayer, walk to a different spot, and continue again.

[@fixandplay826]

Yeah, that can be frustrating. I’m glad the video helped you
