I want to try this on my porch where some mildew is starting to appear. It won't get rained on, so should I hose it down a day later?

it would depend on the type of porch material wood or concrete. The product needs to be washed. This is a chemical and I would follow label instructions.

Sprayed this on a stone wall that was very moldy due to be covered by junipers for 12 years did a good job even before a rain.

Probably...I would wait until it is dry and see if you notice a difference. I used it in an area that was covered and noticed that it did work but eventually it did get rained on.

Yes, just don't water it much after you plant it. And if there is condensation on the walls, open it up until it dries out.

My shelf is outside on the deck thought it is under a covered deck. If you live in a humid climate and mold grows on the shelf just spray with bleach, let it sit for a few hours and rinse with a hose.

Just use a damp cloth and if it gets extra dirty, use the hose on it.. It will clean up real nice..

Sadly, not permanently. After a while it loses color and you will get some mildew if it get directly wet daily. I considered Thomson's Water Sealing it but instead put it outside to be used in my bbq area.

Depends on your climate - we had rainy days for about a week and when I brought it in the wooden post part has started to mildew (it was hanging in the shade of a tree). The woven part was fine. I just wiped bleach over the wood and white rope bits to end any mildew- it came out about 80%- still looks a little spotted. I always bring mine inside when not in use now!

I let the wet and forget work on the deck for about 3 weeks. I then wet the deck and used a scrub brush on a pole. the mildew came off easily. I am going to spray the deck again with wet & forget and leave it to the weather.

not a good idea to let it any piece of equipment get wet.even a power washer shouldn't be in the spray area.usually you can set it under the lee of the house or stretch a tarp over it or something.it just makes sense to protect the electrical components.some gennys have covers over the outlets but it makes sense to cover the whole thing.on the good side,i am very happy with mine. starts very easily and runs strong.good value in my opinion.you could do worse.

Should not be a problem just consider how much material you put over the hose. Bury it to deep/ sharp bends can cause it to pinch or crimp and reduce/ cut off water flow.Its a very simple system.

do you think it will KILL any thing that might be down in the Ground ! and about how long should you keep it in the hole ! do you cover the end up where you put the hose into the ground !

The instructions do say not to leave it outside. I have not joined hoses so cannot help with that question.

If by covered porch you mean rain will not fall directly on the unit or the power outlet, you'll be fine. If it's not already, install a GFI (ground fault interrupter) outlet in that location. Then if there's a short, such as to water, it automatically cuts off the power instantly. My wild guess is the water does not move fast enough to deter mosquitos, but if you try it, please let us know. It's a good question.

Just go to HomeDepot or Lowes and purchase some mild Mildew Cleaner...Let it soak for 10-15 minutes and then wash with a water hose or a high pressure water hose...I have never been able to keep them looking new due to me having some many trees around, but this will definitely help you keep the dirt and mildew to a minimum...Hope this help...Note: Try to perform this task at least twice a year or when you see them start to look dirty...s...Larry

I use my everyday during Cross Country season and the only time i ever encountered mildew was when i left just a little watter on the bottom, completely sealed, and left it there for a little under a week. So, Yes, it does mildew.. but not easily. Just clean it and you'll be good

I live in Florida in the winter and I came back this year to a lot of algae/mold on my driveway. The sprayer cleaned everything off like magic with no cleanser, so yes I think it will get the mildew off. Mildew is nothing compared to the algae/mold you get in Florida during the summer rainy season. Oh, and a tip just buy the pressure sprayer not the offered attachments.

Yes, actually it's better to. Ring it out so just damp, roll it back up, put it back in original container. I have had one of mine for 15+ yrs still good! Does not mildew.

You put it on the end of the hose. Make sure you secure it tightly with the enclosed zip ties. Good luck.
