USELESS
Don’t even bother. Have applied the product as per the instructions and all it’s done has changed the green to and absolutely disgusting green/brown. Several weeks on nothing has changed so not sure what to do now because my pool area looks terrible

I totally agree with Kristine
Had exactly same experience. However, I took it back to Bunnings and received a full refund. They did say that no one had ever complained about it. Umm! I also expressed concern that they were selling such a useless product.
Purchased in November 2021 for A$25.00.

30 seconds roof cleaner @ $1.09 per second
I purchased the 30 seconds roof cleaner in a 5 litre container from Bunnings for $39 and I found it was a dud.
I applied as per instructions onto my clay roof tiles. left it for 12 weeks and no change. Sprayed again and another 10 weeks no change if fact worse. Upped the concentration level to one part 30 seconds to two parts water. This worked for the lichen on the roof, it grew like crazy. I thought it was a lichen killer but it worked like fertilizer on a lawn.
So have blasted the lichen off with my Gerni, which I should have done in first place I guess.

30 seconds window cleaner
I paid $23.70 for this product at bunnings at it is seriously crap. I thought it would be way better than it said it is. Windows were very streaky and I will be letting everyone I know never to purchase this product ever. If you follow instructions on a product and it doesn't work then you should be refunded and they should not be allowed to sell a product that doesn't do what it is supposed to.

Waste of time
I used the roof product and the hose off outdoor cleaner on my brick pavers. Carefully followed instructions, waited several months re the roof and we had rain as indicated in the instructions.
Left the paver solution on fot much longer than 15 minutes. Shouldnt have been a need to scrub the pavers. Hosed off and oh look! No different!

Waste of money, doesn't work.
Tried this on a brand new shower after one week. No effect at all. Did not remove anything from the grout at all. I thought just spraying and walking away sounded too good to be true.....it is.

Not happy!!!!
Don't know what to do now..

Be very careful with this product

Quite surprised
Followed the instructions fairly well. Cleaned off the surface layer of weathering on a non-treated cedar fence. Not perfect near the groundline but upper portions are good after one application.

I'm disgusted with it
I did exactly as instructed. Nothing has change. I'll get out my pressure hose. I wouldn't use it again. Not worth the money I paid for it.
It's a real con.

Works really well.
Used it on a concrete footpath and on a gravel walkpath which was overgrown by moss. Took about a week, but it really done a good job Concrete never looked so good for a long time.

Works exactly as it says it does
Works great when you want an easy clean and are happy to wait (and read the label). Cleaned my pavers from moss and algae over about 3 months. I've since reapplied it to stop regrowth. If you want the surface to be clean that day, use the blue label one which is spray on / hose off.

Certainly DOESN'T do what it says on the tin!
Tested the product first of all on a small area of my patio as I was sceptical that it could clean away dirt and lychens from the stone. I followed the instructions to the letter. Needless to say I couldn't tell the treated area from the untreated area - so ineffective was the product. I might as well have sprayed water onto it!

30 Seconds Spray. Appalling customer service and the product does work but only after many many months
I wrote this revised review in Aug 2022. I wrote the below review over a year ago, and I must change my conclusions, as the product did work but it did not show for about 6-9 months after I applied the chemical. It gradually worked but over many many months. There is still some black shading on the bricks, but certainly much better. I still maintain the customer service is terrible.
This I wrote this original review in 2018. I am totally flawed that this product does not live up to its blurb. Nothing happened at all. I looked at the Utube advi...Read more
ce and followed the process of spaying the product on our driveway to the T. I played the Utube many times to make sure. I then sprayed the 30 Seconds on the driveway using 3 by 2 litre concentrated containers with water as stated in the directions. Took a good couple of hours. I was thorough. It did not rain for the next week so great. I waited 3 months for the algae to be rid of in the driveway. The driveway is the same condition as before I sprayed the product. I contacted them with their online contacts, saying I was having problems. they never responded. I again contacted them a couple of weeks later on their CHAT and no one replied. I then contacted them by email, eventually finding their email address, and attached photos. And nothing, no replies. Appalling customer service and product.Purchased in April 2021.

Don't waste your money
I attempted to use this on concrete patio slabs in my backyard. Even tried a scrub brush.
Did not work.
Seems to work on plastic and not bad on wood.

Moss on roof
Works very well on terracotta tiles I find it works a lot better if you use 2 to one not four to one as my roof was sprayed four to I last year left a fair amount on so i sprayed 2 to 1 this time made nearly perfect job as I use water I left spout disconnected over winter for six weeks

Fantastic product
Once you read the instructions, and follow them, most important, this product works extremely well. It is not a quick fix, it works over a period of time, as stated on the label. It is also a bit more environmentally friendly as you don't have to hose this product away, so you save on water, and time. Can be a bit hard if you get it on the edge of the lawn, can kill the edges a bit, but it will come back. Takes a while to work, my driveway took about two months before I noticed any difference, and then it was like " Wow, that stuff does work!"...Read more
I tried it around the pool before a party, but had to get the other one with the blue label, as the result was too slow with the green label, but the blue label one certainly did the trick. Great cleaners if you use them the way they say.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

If you are patient this works well - other wise use the other product.
I think there is a slight misnomer - there is a 30 seconds Outdoor cleaner - blue label, and 30 seconds Spray and walk away - green label. I have used both products extensively over the years on 50+ square metres of unsealed concrete paving laid round our pool. From memory pricing of reviewed green label is approx twice blue label.
The paving attracts mould (I should have sealed initially) - black, especially where there is irrigation over spray over the year and in shaded areas. Also staining from cutting up banana trees, general staining wit...Read more

Amazing on laserlight
We sprayed our outdoor area roof which was covered in lichen and progressively over 12 months it was all gone!. I have since sprayed a terracotta tile roof. Amazing product and it works!

It appears to work, but too slow.
I sprayed the driveway in December 2016, it just now appears to be working in February 2017. I would not recommend using it if cleaning up for a party even in a month`s time. Seems to work, but very slowly. Not recommended for use by people with a short attention span.

Questions & Answers
Ann H.asked
Can you paint the driveway after cleaning with 30 second outdoor cleaner
1 answer
Hi Anne
Without seeing your driveway so not factual answer. Answer is probably no. Truck wash from Bunnings would do better $10 for two litres, mix with water throw on and leave. Best trick though is at a minimum to use high pressure water spray to blast the surface. If surface is concrete then an “etch” would follow and once completely dry use a quality concrete tinted sealer which includes or you add an anti slip silicone grit (observing safety gear requirements) if asphalt I am not aware of any suitable paint sealer in Australia.
Years ago I used a Wattyl 25 litre Concrete Etch with reddish tint on a 100 m2 driveway. Went on well with roller and still there 20 years later.

Does it work at low temperatures?
2 answers
As far as I'm concerned it does work at all. I think I used it early spring. It just left white streaks on the glass. Wouldn't wash off.
Better question is does it work full stop.
Debra D.asked
Is it ok to use on plastic and air-conditioning filters and indoors.
1 answer
Hi Debra
I suspect the ingredients may be not be compatible with aircon filters unless well diluted. When I used the 30 seconds for my roof it did nothing after 30 days let alone 30 seconds. Unless you know ingredients I wouldn’t use on plastics or filters.
I was told by aircon installer that Air con filters best vacuumed or blow through with a garden blower or hose off. I think the internet will have instructions on which side of filter you should hose. For my house air con which has a fibre filter I just measure size and buy a new one from eBay. Fitting is like doing a window flyscreen
