Hot water with bleach and a stiff brush should do it though I'm always careful to rinse the bleachy water away so as not to harm any animals walking on it. Will take a few days for the lichen to disappear but I've always found it effective.


ETA Perhaps do a test area first to see it doesn't discolour the stone.

I'd go for beach diluted in hot water .Might make the paving stones a little lighter but no more than much elbow grease and scrubbing would .

I'm not very up on the horrors of bleach from an eco point of view but possibly use white vinegar if this is a concern .

I have a Pressure washer.. but you would need an outside tap which is Threaded to take the hose adapters..

I have a hose and extension power lead and cut-out safety switch.


See below.

I'd love to look in Foxy's shed


It's like a toy shop I imagine 😁

There are specialist patio cleaning fluids that are harmless to plants & animals, plus the use of a good power washer should get the job done most efficiently. Beware of washing out the pointing between slabs, in which case, just apply the patio cleaner or Jeyes fluid & wash off with a stiff brush after 20-30 mins. One word of warning, power washers are not to be pointed at anything other than what you are cleaning, they can cut human skin & as said earlier, they will damage or affect other things they are pointed at! Oh, and wear wellington boots! Have fun!

One of the best ?250's I ever spent was for a skip to get rid of my shed contents.


I realised every time I wanted something I thought I had in my shed I either couldn't find it or didn't have it it wasted hours of my time.


Now I just buy what I need when I need it and use my shed to store tools and items which are of actual value.

    • Supermarkets have massive volume and tiny profit margins. If this were true Ocado would be dead by the end of the week, surely.
    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
