How can I kill mold on my patio?

I have this white fuzzy mold growing on my patio and I don’t know what to use to get rid of it. I’ve read that bleach doesn’t work. I’ve sprayed some lysol on it but the smell is rather strong. What can I use to make sure that I get this mold under control. I like to go out there and sit sometimes but now I don’t feel safe. The mold is growing on the cement from the rain. Any ideas?

clean it with clorox and make sure its dry around the area, moisture brings on the mold and decay
bleach does kill most molds…can still smell quite bad too…ultimately the mold will grow back if the moisture problem isn’t dealt with though…make sure water doesn’t sit in that area…
I personally would pressure wash the whole space and try to seal the cement with a paint that would make it easier to clean in the long run
I agree with the person above me, Clorox will probably work.
But if it doesnt, just go to your local supermarket and buy some mold killing stuff. Ask someone that works there so they can tell you better info on it.
Believe me, Clorox will work on it. After you use the clorox, let it dry and then treat the cement patio with a waterproofing agent.
Make sure you wear a good mask, goggles and gloves when doing any mold cleanup, if the mold is toxic your putting yourself at extreme risk of serious health issues which most don’t know till it happens to them!
even cleaning up the most smallest of mold can cause serious health issues if the mold is toxic.
Bleach works.
