Too much lawn feed
I put down some Aftercut All-in-one lawn feed and moss killer yesterday but I didn't check the setting on my lawn spreader and ended up putting too much down. I tried to water it down to dilute the affect but still ended up with quite a lot of dark brown patches over half of the lawn by the evening, I know some of it is probably moss but I'm afraid I've damaged the lawn as well. Is there anything I can do now other than to wait for a week until it's full affect has passed and then rake it all out? I do have a scarifier I can use.

It will be ok. Diluting with water is the answer. You might find yourself rather busy with the lawn mower in 2 weeks time though.
The solution to pollution is dilution.
Someone not to far away, once filled a miracle grow feeder with weedkiller granules instead of feed granules and merrily "fed" all her plants leaves with it. Once she realised 2hrs later she had to spray all the plants with fresh water, the plants all survived!1 -
I was out a bit earlier giving the area a good soaking, will continue that over the next few days then see what it's like in a week or two.0

My lawn wasn't so fortunate when I was too heavy handed with the weed and feed.
After waiting 18 months for the dead patches to show any sign of re-growth, I've now re-seeded said patches with grass seed!
Even though everyone told me it would be really, really unusual to have killed off grass permanently, I still managed it1 -
