How do you remove slippery moss from your brick walkway?

- Stiff brush

- Broom and dustpan

- Garden hose with a nozzle

- Cleaning solution (homemade or commercial)

- Bucket

- Gloves

- Safety glasses

- Old clothes

Instructions:

1. Safety first: Put on gloves, safety glasses, and old clothes.

2. Sweep the walkway: Use a broom and dustpan to remove any loose moss, leaves, or debris from the walkway.

3. Prepare the cleaning solution: You can either make your own cleaning solution using household items like vinegar and baking soda, or buy a commercial moss killer. Follow the instructions on the product label for mixing and dilution.

4. Apply the cleaning solution: Wet the walkway thoroughly with a garden hose. Then, using a stiff brush, work the cleaning solution into the moss. Scrub in the direction of the brick joints to remove as much moss as possible.

5. Let it sit: Allow the cleaning solution to sit for the amount of time specified on the product label. This gives the solution time to kill the moss and loosen its grip on the bricks.

6. Rinse the walkway: Use a garden hose with a nozzle to rinse off the cleaning solution. Be sure to rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.

7. Repeat steps 4-6 if necessary: If the moss is particularly stubborn, you may need to repeat steps 4-6 until it's completely removed.

8. Allow the walkway to dry: Let the walkway dry completely before walking on it.

Tips:

- To prevent moss from growing back, keep the area clean and free of debris. Sweep the walkway regularly and remove any fallen leaves or branches.

- You can also apply a sealant to the bricks to help keep moss from growing.

- If the moss is growing in between the bricks, you may need to use a putty knife or other tool to scrape it out.

- Be careful not to use too much water when rinsing the walkway, as this can damage the bricks.
