Can't get the pressure washer to the area fence posts and supports are green with algae / mould. Want to clean up and paint.

What product should I use seems mixed reviews about the stuff you spray on and leave

Prokleen he's good reviews on Amazon so I got some for my fence and patio, 5 days later there is no change but apparently it can take a few weeks. I'll report back later...

vinegar, or that algon stuff, it's the same. spray it on, leave it for an hour, brush and warm water off.

Powdered chlorine in water works and the house'll smell like a public swimming baths.

Can't you buy a longer hose / power cable to use the pressure washer?
