Moss tends to grow in wet, dark, acidic locations. When you notice moss growing in the lawn, you need to remove it properly or it will return. You can remove the moss with herbicides, but you may be spending money unnecessarily on harsh chemicals. The combination of liquid dish soap and water kill the moss by drying it, without emptying your wallet.
