Is this the same active ingredients as PM?

 

[VicS]

yes, read the label!

Actually this may be the same too . If t is its cheaper https://www.homebase.co.uk/ready-to-use-path-patio-outdoor-cleaner-2l_p489035

That's cheap (The Aldi product).
I will look out for it as used the last of my Patio Magic recently .
The home base product is ready to use so may be less good value than it may appear.

I have one tiny bit of green on my canvas - must have missed a bit . And the outside teak has cleaned itself up nicely . Looks like I have been working hard at cleaning.

You are right. I was looking for a concentration figure to compare it with the others.

The Homebase "ready to use" product is only 2% benzalkonium chloride. Patio Magic and the Aldi product are both 7.5%.

Have you tried Wet & Forget?
I switched from using Patio Magic last year and the Wet & Forget seems to work very well on decks, canvas, sails, ropes etc.
They do run 'deals' from time to time.

No affiliation - just very happy with the product (around the home as well)/

Wet & Forget has exactly the same active ingredient as Patio Magic - benzalkonium chloride - but in 9.9% concentration, rather than 7.5%. So a bit stronger than Patio Magic, but hugely more expensive!

Aldi, I notice, also have a 2 pack on offer .................. 2 for the price of ........ 2!

I normally dilute Patio Magic 1+4, so the Homebase would end up stronger. On the other hand, I don't see the point of buying water and its packaging.
