    When I had a concrete back yard....power washer was the only thing to clear it. Had to be done a couple of times in the warmer months.

    Patio Magic.
    Spray it on, as directed, and in about a week or so the green algae will have disappeared. Lasts for a whole season.

    In my opinion the only thing to use is hypochlorite it comes in a 25 litre drum mix 4 parts water 1 part hypochlorite spray on and leave let the irish weather do the work
