I jet washed my paving yesterday to get rid of the green algae or whatever it is, however now it's dried I can see that there are still spots of green that are embedded and the washer didn't remove.

Is there a natural solution I can wash them with? The reason being is that my chickens could very well drink the water from rinsing and I don't want to harm them.

Citrox from the Organic gardening catalogue is good. It's lemon based so won't harm the chooks or the environment and you can use it to clean your plant pots, hen drinkers, watewr barrels etc as well

Pool Chlorine is also very good and the cholorine diminishes in no time. Quite safe for your chickens. It only needs to be very diluted. Can be done regularly to keep the slime off the pavers. Can also be used as a fungicide for black spot on roses.
