The easiest way is to use a pressure washer with a cleaning/soap mixture. Start with low pressure and work your way up till you notice it getting the grime out. I generally do a swipe or 2 and ease the pressure up till I notice a difference. You can also use soap/water with a scrub brush just takes a lot longer. Another alternative is to use a 50/50 vinegar mixture and spray it on the carpet heavy and let it dry. This is how I get algae/mold/mildew off my sunbrella covers. Then I hose it down after a day or 2. Of course you can also get mold/mildew cleaner from the westmarine or any autoparts store as well.

well. I'm using it 2 days a week as it is (Saturday and Sunday). If I could find some folks up for some weekday afternoons I'd try to go more often.

It's moss that grows on the north side not algae.
