Weed kill before or after cleaning?

Can anyone advise me on the best time to apply weed killer when cleaning block paving. I have always looked at each job and if there is moss but no weeds or just a few weeds, I clean first and then spray with weed killer but if there are loads of weeds growing I think it best to spray the whole area with weed killer, then wait a couple of weeks before cleaning with a rotary cleaning head. Just wondered what everyone else does.
Also if appling after cleaning, do you resand first or after weedkiller?
Cheers everyone
Great site this is!!

You should treat with weedkiller before cleaning as the weedkiller has to penetrate through the leafs to be effective

if no time then after clean before sand and poss after sanding also. as required.
