October 7, 201312 yr Popular Post When we have persistent rain as we have had over the last 2 months, falling leaves and constant dampness result in black extremely slippery areas on the concrete paths and drive. Usually, I will clean these areas with bleach and elbow grease when we get a dry period. When I am unable to scrub the area, I will normally spread some sand so that no-one will slip when walking. Last week I went ass over elbow on one of these slippery patches. I had no sand available and so spread rice husks over the area. 3 or 4 days later, I swept up the husks with a stiff broom and was amazed to see that the black had gone with it. Even after further rain, it was no longer slippery. When I think about the times that I have scrubbed and scrubbed with cleaning chemicals and seemed to fight a losing battle.

December 29, 201312 yr Not sure how much rice husk you used there. Could the mould have gone from being in the dark? Otherwise, I'm going to manufacture some rice-husk athletes-foot buster. A sure fire internet hit. (accredited by Loong) Regards.
