Questions & Answers

Will this clean leaf stains off a 6mo old concrete patio
ByOct 10, 2026
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Yes, this product can help remove leaf stains from a concrete patio. It is formulated to clean organic stains, dirt, and grime from concrete surfaces. For best results, dilute 1:1 with water, apply to a dry surface, keep the area wet with the product for up to 15 minutes, and rinse thoroughly. Older or heavier leaf stains may require a second application and light brushing.

        Does this attach to a hose and does it kill moss that's been on a roof for a while

        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Thank you for your inquiry. The 1 Gal. Outdoor Cleaner Concentrate does not attach directly to a garden hose. It is a concentrate that must be diluted and applied according to the label directions.

          Can you refill 30 second cleaner to the bottle
          BySep 24, 2026
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          No. Our Outdoor concentrate is intended to be put into a tank sprayer at a one to one ratio. Our 30 Seconds Outdoor Cleaner with the Hose End Sprayer is a one-time use bottle and cannot be refilled.

            Does this work to get rid of mildew and mold on patios, driveways and sidewalks?
            BySep 19, 2026
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Thank you for your question. 1 Gal. Outdoor Cleaner Concentrate can help remove dirt, grime, algae, and organic buildup from outdoor surfaces such as patios, driveways, and sidewalks. However, whether it will completely eliminate mildew and mold depends on the severity of the growth and the specific organisms present.

                  Works just the way it says!
                  I followed the instructions and this stuff works as advertised!!! Saved me a big hassle of having to pressure wash. Stubborn spots needed a 2nd application, but it worked fantastic!!! The smell wasn't too heavy of bleach, and it was easily to apply with a sprayer. Highly recommend!!!

                    Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you didn't see the results you were expecting. For best results, our concentrate should always be diluted according to the label directions, typically at a 1:1 ratio with water. We do not recommend using the product full strength. For tougher stains on concrete, patios, and sidewalks, allowing the solution to remain on the surface for the recommended contact time and using a brush to agitate the area can help improve cleaning performance. We appreciate you giving our product a try and sharing your experience.
                      The results with so little effort were remarkable! Highly recommend it.

                      I purchased this product after seeing many great reviews on social media. I’ve learned not to trust these influencers. Followed all the steps and this product has damaged my trex decking in multiple areas.

                      30 SECONDS Outdoor Cleaner is made to safely remove stains from Algae, Mold & Mildew on most outdoor surfaces. We do always recommend testing in a small, inconspicuous area first. Spray a small amount of cleaner, let sit per surface directions on the bottle, brush if needed and rinse to see results. We appreciate your business, thank you for sharing your experience with our product.

                      I used 30 SECONDS Cleaner on our boat and was impressed with the results. Years of dirt, mildew stains, algae, and grime had built up on the exterior surfaces, and this cleaner made a huge difference with very little effort. I simply sprayed it on, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinsed it off. The stains disappeared quickly, and the boat looked noticeably brighter and cleaner. It saved a lot of scrubbing compared to other products I've tried. What really stood out was how fast it worked and how much cleaner the boat looked afterward. It's now one of my go-to products for seasonal cleaning and keeping the boat looking its best throughout the year. If you're looking for an easy way to remove mildew, algae, and grime from your boat, I highly recommend giving 30 SECONDS Cleaner a try. It delivered excellent results and made the job much easier.

                      Don't waste your money
                      This stuff may help clean newer siding but is useless on older siding. Loosens mild dirt. Does nothing on mildew. I'd stick with normal outdoor bleach, detergent, and a pressure washer. Save your monet

                        I cleaned around my pool.. followed instructions and I can't tell any difference. Wasted my money. I will go back and put more on and scrub tomorrow but that is not how the product was advertised. I'm to old for this!!
