Next, cover the entire affected area with vinegar.
Let it sit for about one hour, then come back with a brush to firmly scrub the moss away. The vinegar will have made it easy to break up.
Lastly, fill a bucket with soapy water and rinse away any remaining moss. If it’s at your disposal, a pressure washer will also work here.
