Patio cleaning help

Hi All

Have been given the task of cleaning the patio as best as possible before May 8th - family coming round ! :eek:

Anyways, I have purchased Nilfisk C110, and have had a good go at the patio - as below :

I am really struggling with getting all the black spots off - which I believe are lichen spots ? I think ?

Can anyone recomment a good liquid cleaner that I could use. I have tried bleach, but it didnt do a lot. I have heard lots of warnings about certain chemicals, and am not sure exactly what type of stone I have, so dont want to do any permanent damage .

Somepeople have recommended this :

Any opinions ?

Thanks

Mehul

    Pressure washer will be the quickest way to shift that.

    give it another go with the 110 machine. if that doesnt shift it all then you need to beg/borrow/steal a bigger machine.
    ie., a 150 bar machine will shift it all ok.
    Get some gorm.

    Cheapest MSE method.............Get a stiff scrubbing brush from the pound shop and get on your knees and scrub it.
