Default Re Removing slab mould

I have just used the high pressure hose on the paving slabs and wall
covering. However there still remains what looks like a mould on some parts.

Is there something I can use to remove this and where is the best place to
obtain the item.


Thanks



Dee

'Like mould' covers a multitude of possibilities - you could try hosing
them again when they have been wet for an hour or two.

Otherwise, try a fungicide, available from most ironmongers and
suppliers of fertilisers, weedkillers, etc..

Cheap thin bleach (Sainsbury's 20p or so...) Neat with a stiff brush, lasts
for ages!

Dee, we have a Karcher and used it for mould, like you there was some
remaining. Diluted bleach worked a treat.

It will, of course, kill any plants if it lands on the garden, or even if
it washes onto the garden after rain...


Not seriously. It degrades rapidly on contact with organic material,
so will kill only the plant parts immediate adjacent to the slabs.
Most established plants will not suffer badly, unless you go mad
with it.
