Cleaning block paving

Hi all

I moved into my current house a couple of years back. The guy before me laid his own block paving......badly! There are loads of weeds and moss etc which grow between the bricks.

Does anyone have any tips on how best to clear this or even fix permanently? I'm hoping to sell the house so don't want a massive expense of saying relaying the whole thing. Have at the moment been pulling out the weeds by hand but its still very unsightly and there's moss/mess in between. I did think about getting some of the at patio cleaning stuff and a thick brush. Then after going over with lots of weedkiller. Would that help at all?

    Dilute bleach should kill the weeds and the moss.

    A pressure washer will remove the moss, you would then need to brush in kiln dried joint filling sand.

    If you do this, be prepared to get very very dirty :D
