Block Blitz: eco-friendly treatments for outdoor surfaces

Block Blitz is a British brand of outdoor cleaning products whose first product and brand were launched in the summer of 2016. The company states that its team brings more than 30 years of experience across building maintenance, construction and the chemical industries, and that it is based in Lincolnshire, where its products are developed and manufactured on-site. Its catalogue is sold through its own website as well as through Amazon, eBay and distributors in the UK and Europe.

The company presents its range as non-toxic, environmentally friendly multi-surface treatments suitable for both commercial and domestic use. Its formulations are powder-based and highly concentrated, built on mineral and plant-based ingredients; the synthetic chemicals used are described as carefully selected to reduce the finished products' environmental impact.

The product range

• Block Blitz Eco Cleaner: self-cleaning outdoor surface treatments made from mineral and plant-based formulas, offered in variants such as Original, Multi Pave, Gravel Drives, Artificial Grass and Eco Mini.
• Block Blitz Shield: an eco protector intended for use on new and clean surfaces, presented as a way to avoid having to seal or clean paving again.
• Block Blitz Pro: a solution aimed at commercial and industrial paving and outdoor surfaces.

The treatments are supplied as powders that the user hydrates on site by adding water. According to the company, the non-abrasive formulas clean dirt, grime, staining and black spots and deter moss, algae and weed growth for up to six months.

How the Eco Clean Technology works

Block Blitz describes its method as different from conventional cleaning. Once dissolved, the solution is applied to the surface, where it agitates particles of dirt, grime and organic debris that are then gradually washed away by natural rainfall. No physical or mechanical action is required: the product is applied and left to act. The company states that surfaces remain protected and repel dirt and grime for six to twelve months, and that the addition of Block Blitz Shield Technology provides mineral protection against UV radiation.

Surfaces treated

The range is intended for block paving, gravel and decorative aggregates, artificial grass, tarmac, paving slabs, decking and other outdoor surfaces. The company illustrates its results with documented cases: artificial grass with accumulated dirt, moss, algae and weed growth after two treatments combined with a spot weed and moss treatment using Block Blitz Go Weed; and block paving with moss and weeds in the joints, ingrained dirt, mould and established black and white lichen spots, shown after one, two and four treatments, with the original colour of the pavers restored and fresh sand swept in at the end.

Commercial and domestic use

Block Blitz positions its products for both household and professional environments, with the Pro line specifically aimed at commercial and industrial paving. The company also maintains a service provider programme, referenced in its navigation as a dedicated area for trade users.
