Bleach and water?
Living in a humid climate I get what appears to be mold on my sealant. Same thing for the roof.

I'm considering about a 10% bleach solution and a stiff brush.

Is that what's recommended?

Folks I know that live in the humid PNW use a one to one ratio of laundry bleach to water, applied with a hudson sprayer.
Let it sit a while before scrubbing and rinsing.
You can also use a commercial cleaner made for this purpose.

We've had excellent luck with Wet and Forget for moss and mildew on concrete/stonework, plus it doesn't have the risk of bleaching your clothes.

Hello Fellow Mildew-Fighter:

I have used the following potion:

1 part dish detergent (Dawn)

10 parts bleach

20 parts water

----
For a small area:

1 Tbspn dish detergent (Dawn)

1/2 cup bleach

1 cup water

----
One can daub with a rag or put into a dedicated spray bottle to spray and scrub.

Rinse generously with clean water.

Whatever you use to tackle the mildew, algae or mold, be in a ventilated area, if not in the wide open.
