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.

Crikey Mikey Doesn’t Work
Hi,
I ordered 20 litre kit + Sprayer of Extra Strong Crikey Mikey to clean my block paving. I followed the instructions and filled the sprayer. During the application the nozzle seemed to block and solution came out slower as a jet rather than a mist. This resulted in an oily type marks on my block work which has remained.
Post application I expected a far better result than what I got. To say I’m disappointed in the product is an understatement. I got a far better result using a water & bleach solution on other areas of my drive.
Basically it doesn’t do what it says on the tin. Absolute waste of money and effort.
Very happy gardener
This just has to be the best anti weed product o the market. I did all my front block paving,my patio and rather long garden path. I used it neat about 12 litres in all within 24 hours all weeds gone. The same as every other year I know I wont have to do it again except maybe a bit of spot spraying here and there
Essential information Missing from the Instruction Lable
I recently purchased a Crickey Mickey Crikey pack with 5 litres of Mikey Outdoor Treatment Professional and a Crikey Mikey 3-liter Pressure Sprayer, including Protective Gloves and Safety Glasses. The pack appeared to represent good value for money compared with buying the items individually.
Knowing that this is a high-strength industrial-grade chemical cleaner, I read and reread the safety information and application instructions on the 5-litre container before even thinking about applying the cleaner.
When conditions appeared right, i.e., dry surface, no rain forecast for over 24 hours and no wind, I roped off my drive and started to spray my large, block-paved drive at 5:00 pm. So that the cleaner would be undisturbed for at least 14 hours. Application was easy with the dedicated sprayer.
However, when I looked out of the window at 7:30 am the following morning, there was absolutely no change to the drive, it was just as I’d left it the previous evening. To say that I was disappointed would be an understatement.
I checked the instructions on the pack again - I had done everything as stated on the very detailed instruction label. So, I used Google to search for any other related information to find out what had gone wrong.
On the ‘official’ Crickey Mikey website, under description, I found this rather valuable information:
“Crikey Mikey Outdoor Treatment Professional Range operates at its most effective rates in temperatures from 10 to 20 degrees centigrade. Higher temperatures cause an accelerated drying process which could result in a second application at a lower temperature being necessary to achieve the desired results.”
We are experiencing a long, dry heat wave; the temperature on the day was definitely above 20 degrees C, even at 5:00 pm. Had that basic but essential information been included on the instructions label on the 5-litre container, I would not have applied the cleaner that day.
The result of not having that basic but essential information on the label resulted in a complete waste of money (and time).
Even though Crikey Mikey wasn't…
Even though Crikey Mikey wasn't available when I enquired, you let me know as soon as it was so that I was able to order and it was quickly delivered.
Ineffective product
Ineffective product, I bought a set of 4 bottles and 2 of those are ineffective within a year, even though kept in original packaging at room temperature.
Unless planning to use straight away keep this in mind.
Unhelpful customer service.
Impressive service
Goods were delivered within 3 days of ordering. Have used this product for 3 years now and always does a great job.
Couldn’t supply as you had no stock!!

Very disappointing
Extremely effective
I could not believe how effective Crikey Mikey is. I Applied it neat, with the cordless sprayer as per the instructions. Within an hour all the stains/moss etc had gone. The next day the slabs and concrete were spotless. I could not recommend this highly enough - absolutely brilliant.
Great service arrived quickly
Been deducted twice for Product
Shocking.I bought one expensive product but have been deducted the amount twice .I have brought this to the attention of the company and have been told this as been refunded but on checking all my accounts nothing as been refunded.There are no telephone numbers for this company so there is no after sales just send email.

Good customer relations
I recently gave a moderate review due to my pressure sprayer loosing pressure. I have now been informed that the problem was down to my fault for not following the cleansing regime required. The company has offered a free replacement which I am very grateful for as I will definitely use the product again

Super performance!
Crikey Mikey was much better at cleaning the patio than any of the other products I have tried over the years, even though I used it at 1:6 dilution. I will definitely keep using it now.
