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.

    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
