White vinegar is also a popular cleaning product used to kill weeds, and it can also help banish moss.

To make the vinegar cleaning solution, simply add some vinegar to a spray bottle, then dilute the vinegar with equal parts water to create the solution in the sprayer. 

Spray onto affected areas and leave for an hour before using a soft-bristled brush to scrub the moss off.

Finally, the paving expect recommended using a moss killer that can be bought at home stores.

He added: "Most of them are very simple applications where you just spray the surface cleaner on the affected areas and leave it to work its magic. 

"You will more than likely have to repeatedly apply for a few days to see the results.” 

Once the moss is dead, rake it out and clean it with boiling water for “perfectly moss-free paving”. 

The paving expert notes to be careful with moss killer as it can cause your paving stone to discolour if used too frequently.
