high pressure washing is most effective

Hi

yes they are going to be repainted, i was going to just jet wash them down but then thought the moss would just regrow.

hi there

pressure wash, in prep for decorating, hot water if you want, and if you want to offer it a fungicide, but probably a waste of time as they are going to paint the stairs
