Can anyone recommend a suitable product to do this, the pavioured area
is quite large.


I have recently been experimenting with using my old Sheen weed burner.
So far the results on the moss look promising.


Um, any reason not to just clean it with a Karcher?


Has a Karcher become the pressure washer equivalent of a Hoover?


Heh, in France it certainly is... At least since Sarkozy said he was
going to clean out the tough neighbourhoods with a Karcher. Which didn't
go over very well!

Anyway I still think a pressure washer is the right solution for this
kind of work. I've used it to clean moss and lichen off of stone and
brick walls, very easy.


I must be missing something here. I LIKE moss and lichen! I'm not
tallking about the green slippery fimy stuff but the hummocky pretty
stuff.
