Can anyone recommend any products to clean the green moss from my patio
and the walls surrounding it , spray on or brush on is fine , I've used
bleach and a yard brush on the concrete at my old house , it was very
effective , but probably not eco friendly .
Personal recomendations would be appretiated .


Used pressure wash my patio, takes ages and you get wet. Now use the
Thompson Patio Cleaner around March time. Sprinkle on, brush in, leave a
bit, cup of tea, brush a bit more, another cup of tea and wash it off.
Also
doesn't remove the suface of the patio like the pressure washer does. With
the pressure washer the water run off was the same colour as the patio
stones, which can't be good.

Hi,

Have you tried a 'Dirtblaster' (rotating) jet? A lot better than the
standard one.

Got a three "lances" with my pressure washer, straight single point jet, fan
and rotating point jet. I was using the rotating point jet as it covers the
largest area, but still takes ages on a large patio. The instructions for
the patio stones (Bradstone I think, left by the builders as part of their
care package, nice !!!) say you can pressure wash but not too vigorously and
not too often (every couple of years !!). I found the pressure washer was
definately removing the surface of the stones, the run off water was same
colour as patio, which is why I switched to the patio cleaner which is
easier, quicker and less wet (for you) than the pressure washer.
