I pressure washed one last year but couldn't get all the green off it, I then used a product called algon which got rid of it .  :)

It gets rid of the green very quickly.

I use an x-jet sprayer on the pressure washer itself as its 20x faster than a little pump up sprayer.
Leave for 15 mins and then a quick pressure wash (no turbo nozzle) removes the grime.
