Q: How can I keep green mold from growing back on my concrete after I pressure wash it?

A: Your best bet is to wash the area with a solution of one part household bleach to three parts water. (Watch out for your clothing!) Scrub with a bristle brush or push broom, depending on the size of the area, and rinse well with clean water.
