You know that if you find a specific cleaning procedure too complicated and you don't have the needed tools and cleaners or you just want to save time and efforts you can always refer to cleaning experts. There are many professionals out there such as professional cleaners in Regents Park, for example. Anyway, for this procedure I believe you can do everything on your own. Here is what to do.

  1.  For beginning you should lay a tarp flat on a horizontal surface. Then place the patio furniture on the tarp and you can begin the cleaning process.
  2.  Place any cushions away on a location where they will be safe. Some of the cushions have washable covers and you can wash them in your washing machine like you normally do with your clothes. 
  3.  Now, it is time to rinse the dirt and dust from the surface of the furniture using your water hose. 
  4.  Next step is to add white vinegar to a spray bottle and apply it to the stained furniture. Cleaning experts recommend to let the vinegar stay for about 5-10 minutes. This time should be enough to dissolve the mould. After that you will have to spray even more vinegar onto the patio furniture and use a sponge to scrub until the green mould is removed from the patio. 

 At the end you will have to use your water hose one more time- rinse with it to remove what is remained from the vinegar and mould. Finally, use towels to dry your item.
