Sodium hypochlorite (SH) is commonly used by pressure washing companies, cost about £20 for 20lts. mix it at 1 SH to 4 parts water.
It has an amazing cleaning effect.

Growth just comes back after Hypo. Use this. https://www.restormate.co.uk/epages/15094.sf/en_GB/?ObjectID=56906964

That works on green growth, doesn’t have the power to remove black lichen spots, might kill it and hopefully it will eventually go away.
Hypo works within minutes and has a residual effect but not the long term effect of quats.
They are 2 different chemicals each having different benefits you can’t compare them.
