With summer approaching, the UK faces an influx of moss on patios and driveways, which can create hazardous slip conditions. Moss thrives in moist, shaded areas, and unchecked growth can lead to safety risks and structural damage. While pressure washing is a common solution, it can be costly and labor-intensive. A simple and affordable alternative is white vinegar, available for just £1.40 per litre. Experts, including gardening specialist Petar Ivanov, recommend applying vinegar directly to the affected areas, allowing it to sit for 10-20 minutes before scrubbing with a stiff brush. For stubborn patches, this process may need to be repeated. Additionally, mixing vinegar with water in a spray bottle is effective for treating larger areas, especially on tarmac driveways. Regular maintenance such as sweeping and light brushing every two weeks can help prevent moss from returning, making vinegar a practical solution for maintaining clean and safe outdoor spaces.
