    I used to use a jet-washer on some of my paving. It does damage it.
    I found the above products worked just as well and cause no damage.
    It does take a few weeks to work, but then keeps it all clean for the rest of the season.

    Also better for the bricks in the long run. Jet washing opens up the bricks to then get more crap in them. 
    Yep and slowly degrading the repaired concrete patches in my drive. It's the horrible like pebble dash stuff and gets so slippery

    Bit of cloud for a couple of hours this morning so I mixed up 100ml of solution to 400ml water and sprayed a couple of slabs as a test. Dried out now but seems I have to wait a few days for the magic to happen

    Ahem... 2 -3 weeks!
    Patience is required 😁

    Still can't work out how it can take so long and still be working when there is no sign of anything.  I guess it's just working silently away.
