    Bleach works but may take a couple of applications I find Patio magic best it does the job without bleaching anything. I use it on driveway and EPDM roofs. Algon should do same thing but usually cheaper.

    I used it neat; they call it 'thin bleach', for a reason, and sure enough it didn't fetch all of it off. I'll now go over it with the bio paste, but what viscosity are we talking about here, lemon curd or yoghurt?
    It’s the strength of the original concentrate that counts most have it on the side of the product it can be as runny as water and 10% it can be as thick as custard and 2% unfortunately makes vary immensely but 100% bleach works btw bleach kills it but you either have to wait for it to dry and the wind and rain will remove the dead plant and more importantly the root or scrub it off....Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) greater than 2g per 100g you would use neat 4g + one and one dilute etc thats what your looking for on the side of the product less will do it but not as well

    Sorry, my post was ambiguous; I meant the viscosity of the biological powder paste.
