- Dissolve 30 g (about 2 tablespoons) in 1 litre of water and spray the affected hard surface.
- Do not rinse off. Allow the surface to dry, then sweep away the treated growth.
- Do not apply to lawns.
- Use for copper-deficient soil only where the current label supports that use.
Current label takes priority.
Follow the current pack directions before use.
Helpful gardening notes
Getting a better result
- Test a small inconspicuous area first because copper products may mark or discolour some surfaces.
- Prevent spray drift and runoff onto desirable plants, soil, ponds, streams or stormwater drains.
- Physical cleaning and improving sunlight or drainage can reduce recurring moss and algae.
Safe use
Important precautions
Important: Use only for applications stated on the current pack label. Copper sulphate can be harmful to aquatic life.
