    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.

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

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

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