I have a spotted lantern fly problem and they are causing a mold to cover the cement patio next to my pool. I noticed my 30 second outdoor cleaner is 5% hypochlorite. Could I dilute my 12% pool bleach and use it on the painted cement patio like I have with done the cleaner? The rest of the ingredients on the cleaner reads 1.2% proprietary ingredient and 93.8 inert ingredient, (soap and water I suppose). Would I add 1 part water to 1 part bleach to achieve a 6% solution, or should I dilute it to 95% water and then 5% bleach? Thanks.
 
If you dilute it to the same concentration then you should have the same effect. Note* Some of those outdoor cleaners have surfactants in them as well as bleach.
