Pressure wash with 15 degree nozzle or flat surface cleaner - if you have hot that would be better - don't use a turbo and do a small area first - some resin bond is better than others - then a good dose of Hypo

Should only use cold water on resin bound surfaces

If you google the main suppliers  of resin bound drives they state to use a strong hypochlorite mix on it , we have dine a lot and never had any issues with using chemicals .

I wasn't disputing the use of chemicals and know some manufacturers/ installers recommed using bleach for moss/algae etc.
I obviously didn't make myself clear : I meant only COLD/ COOL water should be used, NOT HOT.
This is also advised by the manufacturers
