Brilio.net - The terrace is an important part of the house that forms the first impression. This area functions as a reception room, a place to wait, relax, or gather with family.
Because it is located in an open area, a common problem that often occurs on terraces is moss growth. Humid and shady conditions create an ideal environment for moss to thrive. Moss growing on walls, fences, or floors not only makes the surface slippery and dangerous, but also reduces the aesthetics of the building.
To prevent the terrace of the house from looking dirty and unkempt due to moss, there is a cleaning method that can be applied to the damp corners of the terrace. This cleaning method can be found on the Jack Story Official YouTube channel.
Actually, the way to clean moss in damp corners of the house is quite easy. You only need the help of a material that causes a chemical reaction in the moss, namely baking soda.

Caustic soda has strong alkaline properties that can dissolve moss and other dirt. However, you also have to be careful in using it because caustic soda can cause skin or eye irritation if exposed directly. It is recommended to use protection such as gloves.
If you want to be practical, you can use Fugo organic moss cleaner. With environmentally friendly ingredients, you can spray enough on surfaces that allow mold to grow. For those who want to try it, you can click the link below.
Prepare the necessary materials and tools, such as caustic soda, water, and a bucket. Dissolve the caustic soda with water in a bucket with a ratio of 1:10. Stir well until the caustic soda is completely dissolved.

Next, use a brush to apply the caustic soda solution to the corners where there is moss. Apply it evenly to the terrace surface.
For maximum results, scrub the surface of the terrace with a broom, so that the moss and dirt that has softened are completely removed. You just need to scrub it slowly, without having to drain your energy.

Let it sit for 30 minutes for the caustic soda to work. Rinse the surface of the terrace with clean water using a hose until there is no remaining caustic soda or moss left. Dry the surface of the terrace with a cloth or let it dry naturally.
