Clean paths without killing plants

You could power wash them, that dislodges the stray weeds and grasses or a product called “Wet &Forget” which you spray or sprinkle on and the rain is meant to do the rest.

I used some Wet and Forget this year, and over the following weeks and months the patio has improved no end. The results are very pleasing. However, it does say not to let it get on plants, or if so to rinse it off. If I had plants spilling over I would definitely use a power washer.

If it’s a slippery path that’s the problem the cause is probably algae or bacteria of some kind, try a small area with dilute soap solution or washing powder.

I'm another one who can recommend Wet & Forget. We use it on our path along the front of the house, it's excellent.

I bought an enormous tub of salt in Lidl. It kills moss and weeds
