AlgoClear – Why it's the Stand Out Product for Hard Surface Cleaning on the Market

When it comes to removing moss, algae and grime from outdoor surfaces, not all products are created equal.
If you’ve ever searched for the best patio cleaner, how to kill moss on driveways, or a reliable solution for cleaning decking, tarmac or tennis courts, you’ll know just how many options are out there - and how inconsistent the results can be.
That’s exactly where AlgoClear stands apart.

For years, AlgoClear Pro has been the preferred choice for cleaning professionals across the UK, widely used for large-scale jobs such as roof cleaning, commercial properties and sports surfaces.
Now, following ProGreen’s acquisition of the AlgoClear brand, customers can benefit from:

• Improved availability
• Continued professional-grade performance
• More competitive pricing across the range

This means whether you’re a contractor or a homeowner, you can now access one of the leading hard surface cleaners in the UK at better value than ever before.

AlgoClear isn’t just another “off-the-shelf” patio cleaner.
It’s a professional softwash cleaning solution designed to treat organic growth at the root - not just clean the surface.
Unlike pressure washing, which can damage surfaces, AlgoClear uses a low-pressure application method that:

• Penetrates deep into porous materials
• Breaks down moss, algae and lichen
• Restores surfaces safely without damage

This makes it ideal for a wide range of surfaces, including:

• Patios and paving
• Driveways and tarmac
• Decking and timber
• Roof tiles and render
• Artificial grass
• Tennis courts and sports surfaces

One of the key reasons AlgoClear stands out is its active ingredient:

DDAC (Didecyldimethylammonium Chloride)

• A powerful biocide derived from plant-based sources
• Targets moss, algae, lichen and biofilms at the root
• Continues working after application for long-lasting results

Unlike many lower-cost alternatives that use Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC), AlgoClear’s DDAC formulation:

• Provides residual cleaning action (keeps surfaces clean for longer)
• Doesn’t deactivate quickly after use
• Maintains effectiveness even in hard water areas

No Bleach. No Damage. Just Results.

Another major advantage over typical DIY products is what AlgoClear doesn’t contain.

• No bleach
• No ammonia
• No harsh acids
  

This means:

• No risk of staining or discolouration
• Safe for use on delicate surfaces
• Ideal for long-term maintenance cleaning

Long-Lasting Results You Can Rely On

One of the biggest issues with standard moss killers is how quickly the problem returns.
With AlgoClear

• Surfaces stay cleaner for longer
• Slippery algae is less likely to return
• Fewer repeat applications needed

This makes it one of the best long-term solutions for treating moss on hard surfaces.
