My decking has a number of large patches of green "mould" -
mainly in the areas that stay damp longer.
I have tried scrubbing with plain water and soapy water but with
limited success.
Can anyone recommend a solution to use, please,

Walt

Dilute boric acid is very effective on mould.

With any mould, it is important to have it well wetted before and
during removal. If any of it is dry, and you attempt to remove it,
the spores will go everywhere and growth starts all over again.

Pressure washer & mould killer - Wickes do one.

Quelle coincidence. I pressure washed the deck yesterday, with
excellent results. All I have to do now is stop the pheasants
****ting on it. (

Pheasants ****ting or peasants sitting?

Yes - this does tend to happen to organic stuff exposed to the
elements.

Petrol (if you can still afford it), followed by a flame.

Decking is, as a rule, pretty awful and is so passé. I much prefer a
real garden, weeds, couch grass and all...

Happens to stone/concrete slabs as well.

Broken slabs, uneven concrete, different levels...

Decking is the new decking...
