    Default Removing lichen from polycarbonate roofing.

    I have some clear polycarbonate roofing over a deck. It is getting covered in lichen. Has anyone got a way to remove it?

    I believe that vinagar is good for moss, surely it should work for lichen.
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

    Thanks for the replies, but I just figured it out for myself.

    Soap and water and a scrubbing brush in the hands of a 25 year old son seems to work really well.

    If he's still living at home, tasks like that should do the trick.....

    They can, at times, be very handy things to have around the house...

    I always thought children should be seen and not had.

    I had forgotten that I had that signature there. I have now enabled it.

    Doesn't sprinkling a good salt dose do the same thing. And its cheap.

    Providing the poly is in good condition - a run over it with a Karcher should do what you require, easily.
