Removing lichen from paving

Hi, I've been trying to remove some lichen from a concrete slab path as it's a slip hazard, but without much success. So far I've tried a Bayer chemical patio cleaner and a yard brush, but I think I probably need something more mechanical. There is no power on the site.What would anyone recommend?

  • Thanks chaps!

  • Hi Keith

    As a last resort and only on concrete flags,try diluted brick acid, a stiff scrubbing brush and the pencil jet from a pressure washer to clean up ! Always do a test patch first,, where gloves, mask and goggles and never use acid on a natural stone !

    All the best

  • hi i use acid on natural stone @32percent proof when we clean of slurrey pointing you should not use on limestone paving and as all ways do a small test first
    there are non acid cleaners out there but lots of money
