Written by the company

Crikey Mikey was founded by Michael Irwin, a Chartered Chemist and Scientist, who was frustrated with the poor performance and high cost of outdoor cleaning and garden products. Using his extensive chemical knowledge and working alongside the UK’s Health and Safety Executive, Michael set out to create outdoor solutions that truly work and offer great value for money. Our first products, designed to remove mould, algae, and lichen, impressed everyone—including Michael’s 9-year-old granddaughter, whose excited exclamation, “Crikey Mikey!” gave our brand its name. Today, Crikey Mikey continues to develop innovative products that make maintaining your outdoor spaces simple and effective.

Unbelievable product. Applied to cream coloured flags covered in winter muck and algae and within 5 minutes they were clean and clear.

Ok, but not great

Jet washed the patio first, then once dry applied the CM professional. It hasn’t gotten rid of some of the white algae and has left a bit of white staining on some of the slabs. But it did kill off all the weeds. Expected better from the most expensive product for this situation

Hi Robert,

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the residue left on some of the slabs after using our Crikey Mikey Outdoor Cleaning Wizard Professional product. We would like to assure you that the "white staining" is just residue of the product and can easily be removed with water, whether it's rain or simply hosing it down.

Regarding the effectiveness of the product on white algae, we understand your disappointment. In order to achieve optimal results, it is important to use the product undiluted during the first application. Additionally, some situations may require more than one application for complete removal.

We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our products and services. We will be reaching out to you directly to discuss your specific situation and see how we can further assist you.

Thank you for choosing our product, and we look forward to resolving this matter to your satisfaction.

Best regards,
Fabio

I made a mistake when ordering and stupidly placed order twice and paid twice.
This was picked up the following day by Crikey Mikey and I was called by phone and the second payment was credited immediately and the order was delivered correctly within 2 days . Excellent service

Very poor results lichen still present…

Very poor results lichen still present after two applications. Had to power wash which was what I was trying to avoid. Complained to Crikey Mikey but not received a reply after 5 days even though they say they will respond in 24 hours.

Hello David,

I understand that you are unhappy with the results of our product and I apologise for any inconvenience caused. We take all feedback seriously and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

I'm sorry to hear that the lichen is still present after two applications and that you had to resort to power washing. We always strive to provide the best possible results with our products, and I'm sorry that this wasn't the case for you.

Regarding your complaint to our response time, I apologise for the delay in responding. We have been experiencing a high volume of inquiries lately, but that's no excuse for not responding within 24 hours. I will investigate this further to ensure that it doesn't happen again in the future.

In regards to the product not working for your situation, there could be a number of reasons for this. We stand behind our product and want to ensure that our customers are completely satisfied. I will be in touch shortly to discuss a few scenarios and to find a positive outcome.

Once again, I apologise for any inconvenience caused, and I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
