❓What Time of Year Does Moss, Lichen and Mould Grow the Most❓ One of the most common questions asked of us is about Algea, Mold & Moss growth in Winter. Winter sees the most growth than any other season because it is generally darker at this time of year. Although growth continues at any time of year when it rains especially in shady dark or humid areas. On dark stones, bricks, roof tiles and other hard surfaces these types of organic matter thrive in the darker days of Winter. Commonly known as Nostoc. This type of Cyanobacteria is often mistakenly called gelatinous algae. Mosses, lichens and moulds need moisture to thrive, and Winter provides excellent conditions for them here in the UK. This is due to plenty of rainy days and much shorter dark days when compared to Spring and Summer. On homes the North facing elevations always have the highest level of organic matter growth and can be seen as darker green almost black shades. Often one side of the roof will have heavier moss and lichen growth on it. When wet, moss becomes heavier and will often weigh more than a ton. Clumps often fall off into the gutters causing blockages. When it is wet outside, driveways, paths and patios can become very slippery during the Autumn and Winter months. We often get asked is it better to leave outside cleaning work till March or April. The answer is no. ‼️ You should be in the mindset of cleaning away all types of moulds, mosses and lichens as soon as you notice them. ✅ In fact best winter is a very good time to eradicate this pest from your home ✅ Better still an annual or bi-annual maintenance plan will keep all of your exterior surfaces free from slippery organic matter growth. #love #softwashing #rendercleaning #sussex #cleanhome See video below ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/e8fGwdap

#Puffer fish, Puffers are found in warm and temperate regions around the world, primarily in the sea but also, in some instances, in brackish or fresh water. They have tough, usually prickly skins and fused teeth that form a bear-like structure with a split in the center of each jaw. The largest puffers grow about 90 cm (3 feet) long but most are considerably smaller.

Is there a difference between sunflower pellets and wood briquettes? 🤔 The main difference is the raw material. Well, that part is clear. The shape and size of both are approximately the same, although manufacturers sometimes like to experiment. There’s also a lot in common – high calorific value, low moisture content, and long burn time, although the ash content in sunflower briquettes is slightly higher compared to wood ones. This means that after burning sunflower pellets in the boiler, there might be a bit more ash left. But don't worry, this figure is still quite low and doesn’t cause significant inconvenience when cleaning. And what do you use? #pinikay #briquettes #firewood #grill #pellets #heating

🌧️ Attention VersEseal Users! 🌧️ As temperatures drop, it’s important to remember that our VersEseal water based products take a bit longer to dry. ❄️ Why? When the weather is cooler, it can take longer for all the moisture to evaporate from the product. If you apply the top coat too soon, it might peel or bubble. 🤦♂️ Some might think that applying the coating in a shed will speed up the process, but without natural sunlight or a breeze, it can actually take just as long, if not longer, for the product to dry properly. So, patience is key!🌫️ Tip: Ensure your VersEseal Rapid Build is completely dry before applying the top coat. Patience now will give you a flawless finish later! If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. We're here to help you get the best results! 💪 #VersEseal #DIYTips #WinterReady #Waterproofing

Liquid ice melters can be effective in quickly melting ice and snow on surfaces. Here are some helpful hacks for using liquid ice melters: 1. Pre-treat surfaces: Apply the liquid ice melter before a snowstorm to prevent snow from bonding to the surface. This can make shoveling easier later on. 2. Use a spray bottle: Transfer the liquid ice melter into a spray bottle for more precise application on specific areas, such as steps, walkways, or driveways. 3. Apply in layers: For thick ice buildup, apply the liquid ice melter in layers. Let each layer sit for a few minutes before applying the next one to maximize effectiveness. 4. Use a garden sprayer: A garden sprayer can help you efficiently apply the liquid ice melter over larger areas, such as driveways or sidewalks. 5. Reapply as needed: If ice starts to reform, reapply the liquid ice melter to keep surfaces clear and safe. #deicing #icemelt #IceRazor
