    This is how Northern Ladies clean their bedsheets. It'll also get ingrained Scania oil out of concrete, if you're suffering from that issue.

        I use a dilute solution of Jeys fluid, brush that in and let it dry, your flagstones stay green/algea free for months.

        It is also quite harmful to cats so should keep the fookers from next door leaving me tulipty gifts every other morning.

        I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

          But, surely, if the Jeys solution is too dilute it could upset the cats stomach and make the problem worse.


          That's why you have to ensure you get the concentration "just right"

                  The ones I've used seem to form some rubber/plastic coating over the surface of the wood rather than penetrating it like creosote from days of yore. It means that it takes about three coats to get an even colour and needs re-coating every couple of years.

                  I've switched to stuff similar to creosote for fences and the like. Sadly it doesn't come in any attractive colours. You can still get creosote by the way, but there are fairly strict rules about who can buy it.

                    Apparently it kills them.

                    When I was using some yesterday I ensured next door's cat wasn't anywhere near. Now other cats I don't care.....
