Has anyone got domestic-strength (about 4.5%) bleach to kill established
moss on a pathway?

If so, was it neat or could you get it to work when diluted - and at
what dilution?

I use it at about 50% diluted with caustic soda to kill moss and other
growth on my drive and patio.

If you are going to use chemicals to do it you might at least use the
right ones. Anything else will be almost a waste of time. Likewise if
the conditions are right for moss and lichens they will quickly return.

"Wet and forget" is about the simplest to use.

Don't expect miracles. The moss is there because of the cool and damp.
It will return next winter without fail.

That is probably a lower concentration version of BAC50.

BAC 50 prices seem to have risen significantly during our lockdowns but
should fall back to around £25 for 5L (incl postage), as they did after
the first lockdown.

I prefer to use biological washing powder, cheaper and just as
effective, also kinder on other things in and around the garden.

....is the right answer. I use four times the normal (washing)
concentration and apply it via a watering can. It's cheap, cheerful, and
effective. The moss I bumped off last October has just started to make a
much-weakened re-appearance, which was very easy to re-treat. I doubt
I'll see it again until November.

For small areas or difficult-to-reach areas I use the same dilution in a
used trigger-pack.

What would you reckon that works out as grammes of Bio Washing Powder to
a litre of water?

According to the MSDS, yes it is, single active ingredient
Benzalkonium chloride 68424-85-1 10 %
