R-A-D™ Guard Mildew & Algae Cleaner & Preventer
R-A-D™ Guard RTU (Ready-To-Use formula) is a no-rinse cleaner and preventative that is safe and effective for removing and preventing stains caused by mold, mildew, and algae on exterior surfaces and exterior wood or deck stain coatings. R-A-D™ Guard cleans without pressure washing, scrubbing, or rinsing. Contains no bleach, chlorine, acid, sodium hydroxide, or phosphates.
Designed Especially For Exterior Wood and Decks
Keeps cleaning long after application, keeping your wood stains looking better longer. 1-2 years of mildew and algae prevention.
Note: R-A-D™ Guard RTU is not used for prepping wood for wood stain application. The primary goal is to remove mildew or algae stains and prevent mildew and algae stains from returning.
When & Where to use R-A-D™ Guard
R-A-D™ Guard is best used to remove mildew and algae stains that have accumulated over or on top of any exterior surface. The advanced properties of R-A-D™ Guard can also be applied after an application of an exterior wood stain to prevent the growth of mildew or algae for 1-2 years.
Important Note: It takes time for the RAD Guard to work. The key is patience and it can take 1-3 weeks for stains and mildew/algae to disappear. The cleaning time varies based on the amount of rain after applying and the severity and the type of stain being removed.

How R-A-D™ Guard Works:
Step 1: Spray surrounding landscaping with water
Step 2: Pour R-A-D™ Guard into pump sprayer
Step 3: Saturate areas to be applied (Do not let RAD Guard puddle) with R-A-D™ Guard. Surfaces that R-A-D™ Guard is being applied to must be fully dry before application. All paints and stains must be fully dried and cured before the application of R-A-D™ Guard.
Step 4: Once finished applying to all areas of surface, repeat Step 1
Step 5: Step back and let Mother Nature work with R-A-D™ Guard to clean for you
Step 6: R-A-D™ Guard continues to deep clean with substrate penetration
Maintenance: Repeat application every 12-24 months or until new stains appear
Coverage: 200 sq. feet per Gallon.
I have mold building up on my painted hardie plank siding. Especially around the windows and trim. Will this be safe to use? I plan on applying with a microfiber scrubber on a long pole since my second story windows aren’t very accessible.
Yes, it will.
