    I would probably just use a stiff broom to brush it off. If that's not enough, you can get moss killer for use on lawns.

    I spilled jeyes fluid on mine by accident once. It killed the moss. I have done this since and it worked like a dream. Remember to dilute it. I also use it to kill all the green algae that grows on my fence before painting.

    I think I have some Jeyes fluid. Do you leave it for a few weeks to dry up a bit more or brush it off straight away?

    I think a week should be long enough. especially in warm weather.

    Soda Crystals sprinkled on the moss also works. Just leave for a few days. It turns brown & can be swept up.
