Brick Patio Cleaning

I have a brick patio on a sand bed with sand filled joints. I pressure washed it a couple of months ago and it already has a layer of green algae and slime. Any suggestions on chemicals to kill the algae.

bleach diluted in water should clean it up nicely.

I tried that. It seemed to have no effect as far as killing the algae. In fact I did that twice and then eventually used the power washer.
