Moss and mold come back after using bleach because both moss and mold prefer a slightly alkali environment , where as Vinegar is acidic and lowers the PH of the brick and siding surfaces and discourages future growth. You can even get better longer lasting results by using a lower PH vinegar or more acidic treatment.

VINEGAR! YAY! Bleach made my mold increase. Washed with TSP - now for the vinegar.

Here in the Netherlands we have special cleaning vinegar, 5 liter containers, costs 3 times nothing, only care not to touch your plants. Take a day without rain, spay it all over the stones, wood, garden furnitures aso. You can see the next day exactly where you stopped. Use it for years, very popular over here, cheap effective and easy to do even for a 75 year old.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes, the vinegar does work, but it doesn't last very long. Unlike wet and forget, which dilutes to 5-1 (diluting vinegar doesn't work), which has a lasting impact and removes black algae, which vinegar doesn't in my experience. Taking the dilution into consideration, there is very little difference in price either. So having tried both methods, I'll stick to the wet and forget.

Great tip! Our walkout basement area is getting a coating of this to clear up the junk growing in it. Thanks!

Short and precise. I was looking for such least expensive options, thanks for the vinegar idea.

Thanks for the tip, it’s time to give it a shot.

It definitely works, just did my backyard pavers covered in that green stuff, 3 days later it's all gone, did two sprays of 4% white vinegar.. so many uses for white vinegar..

Great quick vid. I often pre treat concrete surfaces, including brick, with vinegar before cleaning. Not only does it work on organics as in your video, it dissolves the grout film from tile and any other light cement based contamination on surfaces. Pickling vinegar (including specific cleaning vinegar) is more acidic and actually better than regular food grade vinegar. Next, CLR works wonders but is much stronger. After that, muriatic acid, but it’s extremely corrosive, dangerous if not handled properly, and required dilution.

Awesome video. Quick easy fix. The wall at the end of video on the top layer under bush doesn’t look all the way cleaned though. Would have been nice to see a comparison with other mentioned brands. Would one treatment clean them first try or are they also repeat treatment solutions? Also the vinegar is a mild acid so it’s slightly etching the paver/ cement it’s sprayed on each treatment. Would you think it’s mild enough not to cause premature aging of pavers/cement vs other methods?thanks

super solution. thanks

Vinegar does not dissolve concrete itself but can degrade the cement that binds concrete together. As a weak, dilute acid, vinegar will cause only minor damage to concrete but can take the shine off polished surfaces. It can, however, be used to remove small amounts of cement from tools.

Nice. How about for use on patio umbrella and plastic lawn chairs?

Very useful
