My decking has a number of large patches of green "mould" - mainly in the areas that stay damp longer. I have tried scrubbing with plain water and soapy water but with limited success. Can anyone recommend a solution to use, please,

Decking - Removal of green staining

Hi,
Try an 'oxy bleach', do a less conspicious bit first though.
cheers, Pete.
Dliute catsuic soda? bleach?
Dilute boric acid is very effective on mould.
With any mould, it is important to have it well wetted before and during removal. If any of it is dry, and you attempt to remove it, the spores will go everywhere and growth starts all over again.
Pressure washer & mould killer - Wickes do one.
Yes - this does tend to happen to organic stuff exposed to the elements.
Petrol (if you can still afford it), followed by a flame.
Decking is, as a rule, pretty awful and is so passé. I much prefer a real garden, weeds, couch grass and all...
Ouch!
Happens to stone/concrete slabs as well.
Broken slabs, uneven concrete, different levels...
Decking is the new decking...
