FAQ
Where can Tercol be used?
Tercol can be used on both painted and untreated surfaces. You can paint or oil over Tercol-treated surfaces if desired. Tercol does not dull the surface, so if that effect is wanted, for example, a paint cleaner should be used.
For the best effect, the product should be applied to a dry surface. Slightly damp surfaces are also acceptable, but if the surface is saturated with water, it will not absorb the product well, and the treatment will be less effective.
We recommend using Tercol at temperatures above 0°C for optimal results. There are no negative side effects of using Tercol during frost, except that the effectiveness decreases.
We recommend using Tercol when it is frost-free and no rain is expected for a few days. For the best effect, Tercol should be applied at temperatures between 15-25°C and without direct sunlight. So, for optimal results, wait until the weather is warmer and dry, preferably with at least three rain-free days so the product can work effectively.
It can be used in cold weather, but as soon as temperatures drop below zero, the effect pauses and resumes once temperatures rise above freezing again. There is no harm if the product remains on the surface, but winter use may not be optimal.
Spray Tercol and let it work for at least 3 days. If there is heavy growth or the growth is firmly attached, brushing the surface before rinsing can improve the results. Rinsing is usually not necessary but can give a cleaner finish. Outdoors, weather and wind often help wash the surface over time. On asphalt felt, aluminum, and other light metals, rinsing should be done within 24 hours.
When the growth dies, it turns brown, which is why brown discoloration occurs during Tercol use. To speed up removal of the brown color, you can brush and rinse with low-pressure water. Sometimes a rust-colored stain may appear if the surface has previously been treated with or exposed to products containing iron sulfates. To remove this discoloration, we recommend cleaning the area with oxalic acid. NOTE: This discoloration is unrelated to Tercol, as its chemical composition cannot cause stains.
This is most likely “wood bleaching” (fliskritning). It is not caused by Tercol but occurs sometimes on freshly sawn or pressure-treated wood exposed to light. UV rays from the sun break down lignin (which binds the wood cells), causing the wood to gray. When lignin breaks down, the wood surface forms loose fibers called fliskritning.
Tercol can cause discoloration on some leaf types. If possible, protect plants from splashes. Rinse leaves and branches with water immediately if exposed to splashes. Any leaf discoloration will fade over time, and the plant will not suffer lasting damage.
Like all high-pH cleaning agents, Tercol should be handled with normal caution and care, and kept out of reach of children and pets. Safety data is printed on each package and should be read before use. Tercol contains some of the most environmentally friendly raw materials available without compromising effectiveness. It is biodegradable and does not bioaccumulate in nature.
Before allowing pets on a treated deck, ensure the surface has absorbed the product and is dry. Once dry, there is no danger and rinsing is unnecessary. If pets walk on the wet product, it may irritate their paws.
Tercol is biodegradable and does not bioaccumulate in nature. In diluted form, Tercol is not toxic or harmful to the environment. There should be no problem watering with water containing Tercol, but to be completely safe, it’s best to wait a few days up to a week before watering after treatment.
Yes, but keep in mind Tercol can slightly bleach the surface. It is best to apply Tercol when you notice some growth or dirt. Tercol keeps surfaces free from new growth and dirt for a long time after treatment.
If there is a risk that the product will flow directly into a water body, Tercol should not be used. Biodegradable means the product breaks down into harmless substances after some time and is then harmless. All surfactants (including dish soap, soap, etc.) are harmful to aquatic environments because they reduce surface tension and disrupt the balance. (Tercol combats algae, which also exist in water and are “food” for other organisms.)
Yes, you can!
There are several varieties with red chlorophyll. Some lichens are also red. Lichens are difficult to remove (most die but cling on and do not change color immediately; they just turn rust-brown). Simply spraying and waiting can take a long time. Mechanical action (brushing or other) improves the chances of removal.
We have no experience or feedback regarding thatched roofs. There is a risk that Tercol may “degrease” the straw, potentially weakening it and making it more moisture-sensitive. Since we have no experience with this substrate, we cannot recommend it. If you want to try at your own risk, test on a small area first, but problems may only appear later.
We recommend consulting roofing experts for your eternit roof first. However, several customers have used Tercol on eternit roofs with very good results. Consider the roof’s condition and what it can tolerate. Try on a small area first and observe the results. If it works well, proceed to treat the entire roof.
