This works down here for mold mildew etc on driveways and other concrete stuff. I use it on my pool skirt too.
I put it down twice a year. It's called Odo-ban.
I apply it with my pressure washer after I pressure wash and bleach the area. Ket it dry right on and soak in.
It works great. no mold no mildew, hopefully no slippery.

ps Anyplace you don't get clean first will still get growth.

Yeah, turning them over will only delay the same problem later. Not to mention it will be a PITA. I agree that drainage could be the culprit. That and heavy shading. Anything that prevents the bricks from drying out daily will lead to a slippery situation.

We have one that goes from our driveway to the front porch. When these bricks get wet - they are very slippery. In the summer of 2007 I tried to use a pressure washer in an attempt to blast off the fungus/mold/whatever hoping that would work - nothing.
The only other idea I can think of would be to pull them up and flip them over one by one (they are loose).
I nearly busted my @$$ again this morning whilst leaving for work...
Any ideas how to get the funk off the bricks?

just some bleach will clean it right up. bleach one day, hose it the next day.

Get some of the chlorine based etching solution for Home Depot (same stuff used to etch a garage floor prior to epoxy coating it. It will both remove the algea/mildew and etch some of the soft calcium in the bricks making them less slippery.
