Killing off algae/moss
I am about to repaint our concrete shed, along the bottom is has some green
growth - algae/moss or some other kind of crap I had a Dulux masonry paint leaflet and they suggest using their product to kill off this growth before painting Any ideas on the cheapest way to do it - and is it only a temporary thing? |

High pressure hose will do it. But it will come back if it's a damp area. Maybe some of the silicone-based water-repellent treatments would help if painted on the concrete. You'll have to have a look on the tin. You could always try posting in uk.d-i-y - someone may already have the answer there. -- Jeff |

I would scrub it with bleach, but only if I wasn't planning to grow anything in the soil close to the shed. Does bleach kill algae/moss? |

Yes, it does, but if conditions remain favourable for the growth of algae it will ALWAYS come back again. Lol |
