Call me lazy, but i use a jet washer, cost £100 but have used it for the past 2 years, to be honest, it does take time but really gets it clean and is good for the car too!

Sharp sand, a stiff broom and elbow grease. Seriously. They work.

I use a stiff broom elbow grease and some washing soda in the water, just
applying the washing soda and rinsing will not remove the algae.
