    How do I clean algae stains from old clay pamments/floor bricks?

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to clean black algae stains from the face of old clay pamments/floor bricks. I've tried pressure washing and scrubbing with bleach with no luck. Anything else I can use? They were laid in my garden, but I want to re-lay them indoors.
