Here&#8217;s how to fix this problem easily and completely naturally.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/muschio-in-giardino-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who has a tiled patio or part of a garden knows <strong>how annoying and unsightly<\/strong> the presence of mosses, algae and lichens between joints or on the surface of tiles can be. Let&#8217;s see how to fix this problem and prevent its recurrence with the proper precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mosses and lichens, why do we find them in garden tiles?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the natural course of events, especially after the rainiest periods, <strong>it is not uncommon to find garden tiles covered with a slimy green patina<\/strong>. Floors exposed to the elements tend to favor the proliferation of molds, lichens and mosses, precisely because of humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moss is easily recognizable, grows mainly in humid and shady environments and has a <strong>characteristic cushion shape<\/strong> formed by microfolioles. In addition to being unsightly, it can be dangerous as it makes surfaces slippery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_30397\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/erbacce-tra-mattonelle.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30397\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for lichens, however, they are a mixture of fungi and algae that appear as <strong>small scabs or small shrubs<\/strong>. In this case, these are organisms that can alter the very structure of the soil on which they grow, which is another reason to act promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to remove moss and lichens from outdoor floors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Surely <strong>among the most effective methods we find prevention,<\/strong> to ensure that these small inconveniences do not occur at all. Proper and regular cleaning is an excellent method to avoid the appearance of these organisms as much as possible. If, on the other hand, they are already present, they can be eliminated with an infinite number of products available on the market but also naturally. It&#8217;s certainly not a very quick remedy and will require a bit of effort, but the result is guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To remove moss naturally, you can use ingredients that are readily available at home. These are white vinegar and coarse salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_30398\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aceto-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30398\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procedure to follow is not complex, in fact it will be enough <strong>to apply the ingredients directly on the moss and leave it on for at least 24 hours<\/strong>. After this time, it is time to proceed with the removal using a wire brush. Obviously it is advisable to carry out this procedure in good weather, since the rainwater would dissolve the salt and take the vinegar away. So make sure the weather forecast doesn&#8217;t announce rain before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This method can also be used for lichens<\/strong>, which will however require more energy to remove the embedded pieces. Also pay attention to the materials you will use, since for some types of flooring some iron brushes could be harmful when scratched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_30399\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imilanesi.nanopress.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/giardino.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30399\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same goes for the joints, if the moss to be removed is between one tile and another, <strong>be careful to remove the cement that joins them<\/strong>. In fact, if they have been attacked by moss, the joints may already have weaker spots that would be easier to scrape. Obviously<strong>, this remedy can be used on both floors and exterior walls<\/strong>, with the same attention to the type of surface to be treated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would you like to remove moss and lichens from garden masonry?
