    Did you add a heavy duty cleaner into your power washer? That will usually do the trick. Here's one to try...

    Did you add a chemical to your power washer? If not, that may be what you want to do.


    There is a no scrub product, wet & forget outdoor, that will work with rain & wind over time to clean them. Check out the video on QVC but you can purchase from Lowe's and walmart.com.

    SPRAYED BLEACH ON THEM

    I’m not sure if you can do it from the ground, but you can put some undiluted bleach in a spray bottle and spray it on the black spots. Cover any plants or flowers with a tarp or a sheet of Visqueen because the bleach will kill them. I would also recommend wearing safety goggles because the bleach might get into your eyes and it stings pretty good. Unfortunately I know this from experience!

    Bleach should do the trick.

    You can purchase long handled brushes that are used for cleaning the outside of RV's (I have seen them in the automotive section of Walmart). I would use a product like Simple Green diluted in water and see if that would do the job. You could also try a deck broom if you need a stiffer bristle. Then hose it off if it works. Best wishes.

  • White vinegar- not bleach. Or hire a service, they are relatively inexpensive.
