green terracotta pots

TombstoneT · 2021-03-05 21:13:19

Can anyone tell me how to successfully clean green mossy terracotta flower pots. I usually scrub them to some degree with sudzey water but it is always a temporary solution. All advice welcome. Thanks, T.T.

I'd use Milton sterilising fluid (the stuff for baby bottles - cheap versions available in Aldi -Mamia range) or bleach.

Scrub using fairy liquid/dish detergent. Using a bristle brush. Really get them clean.
Then spray on a diluted mix of the milton or bleach, leave for about 15-30 minutes. Rinse off.

Might take a few goes, soaking them might work better but you'd want to be careful to rinse them well and soak in clean water afterward as terracotta is very porous and will hold onto the bleaching agents.

Should be good then
