Lichen

[Captain]

I have been fortunate to never suffer too badly with lichen. However this year there seems to be a larger build up than normal.

What do you use to get rid of it? All home remedies, solutions and old wives tales gratefully recieved (the cheaper the better)

Regards Captain.

Hi Cap`n,

You are not going to believe me after my post yesterday but once again the answer is White Vinegar diluted with water. Use plenty of water to wash down afterwards.

I did mine earlier this year and asked the same question as you on here.

It worked for me and this is definitely not a wind up.

It's true - white wine vinegar does all sorts - it's a bit like a natural WD40!

Cheers Both, will give it a whirl.

Maingate, have you got shares in Sarsons?!!

I will go along with what others have said, vinegar is great for all sorts of cleaning jobs.

As an update, have just been out to 'give it a whirl' and it works really well

I am now a convert to the powers of Sarsons!

Thanks to all who replied with the advice

On a positive note Lichen only grows where there is low air pollution and you can use it to help you navigate if you ever get lost in a forest. It grows on the South side of tree trunks.

That vinegar tip is worth knowing.

I had this problem years ago on a caravan and found Domestos in the washing water once a year cleared it and kept it away.
