We had these spots all over our patio and after trying several proprietary cleaners and a pressure washer (none of which worked) I was thinking of having decking fitted to cover it but after seeing my sister's pristine pool slabs, I decided to try household bleach!I brushed thick neat bleach onto dry slabs until it was covered - and left it overnight - it worked. A week later, I had another go to get a better finish but it did not damage the grass or plants although we kept our two little dogs of it. Best of all it was so cheap - we did't use expensive bleach just the supermarkets own brand.Helpful Reply -

I use cheap white vinegar on moss, lichen and weeds on a dry and sunny day. Sometimes takes two applications. It also repels slugs and ants but harmless to pets.Helpful Reply -

We use standard Tide in powder form at home on the cement drive and where I work on the runways at a large condo complex. It works on carpets, tile, stone, and cement. We sprinkle it on during a period of sunny days, it will kill the moss and lichens and in a week then you just sweep it away. No chemicals or hash products to hurt the environment or most importantly your pets and kids.Helpful Reply -

We use standard Tide powder on the runways, cement driveways, tile, and walks where moss or lichens grow. You simply sprinkle it on during sunny weather an sweep off about a week later. It works beautifully with out harming the environment, and most importantly your pets and kids. Easy and not a time intensive process.Helpful Reply -

Thanks every one that answered. I use bleach for the green moss, and I was going to suggest boric acid for the spots, but this is a lot safer and cheaper.1 marked as helpful Reply -
