Lack of sunlight and excess moisture contribute to mold growth on walkways. Whether you have concrete, brick or flagstone walkways, mold can leave unsightly green, brown or black stains on the surface. If left on the walkways for too long, mold can erode the porous stone and destroy your walkways. Harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, are harmful to plants and animals. Oxygen bleach kills mold and brightens stone without harming wildlife or vegetation.

Wooden spoon
Push broom
