Does anyone know of a way to clean lichen off paving slabs. Patio is very marked and nothing seems to shift it.

My Mum`s neighbour had success with a pressure washer.
This suggests bleach and also toilet cleaner

jeyes fluid. Mix up a strong solution and apply with watering can,leave for as long as possible then scrape of with spade and wash down as normal. I cleared a very long path this way -it stinks but very effective.
Pressure Washer plus Patio Magic

If you do buy the Patio Magic, make sure you get the correct one because they have one for hard surfaces and another for wooden decking.
deffo Jeyes fluid and a stiff scrubbing brush and elbow grease
ps it does stink, but when i ued it it wafted me back to the 70's and my nans back garden - happy memories!
There is a product on QVC the shopping Chanel called Wet and Forget. Stay it on and hey presto new looking slabs after 7 days.
Spray it on ^^^
I would either use a pressure washer or move house
solution of bleach brushed in left a wee while..10 mins or so then washed off..jet wash if poss !
Have you tried 'Armillatox' ?
As recommended by an ABer a few weeks ago I used cheapie soap powder, sprinkled over dampened concrete, left a while, then hosed and scrubbed,as pressure cleaner not available.
Yes Jeyes Fluid, I did our block paved drive a few years ago. The air all around the house smelt rather nice I thought, even a visitor in the street asked what I'd used. It got rid of the moss and cleaned the brickwork.
