How to preventing algae stains on concrete?

On my back patio where the sun does not shine, algae is starting to grow on my concrete. Does anyone have a trick to get it off and keep it off? It's also growing on my wooden deck that doesn't get sun.

    You can pressure wash the concrete , but I wouldn't advise doing the deck. Wet and Forget is a good product .

    I have used a simple mix of dish soap and water for my deck. You can use a mixture of bleach and water for the concrete.

    I wash my concreat and places like that with cheapest vinegar. half and half with water. Killes every fungus/ algea everywhere. Repeat after a day to be sure everything is gone :)

    Dilute bleach and spray every few weeks.
