Does anyone know someone who can clean Roof Terrace tiles?

Our Roof Terrace has terracotta tiles which are covered in Green Algae. We have sprayed it and scrubbed it but every time it rains it turns into an "ice rink" of slippery green slime. HELP

After yu have done what fasan has suggested- clean with a high pressure hose...that will get rid of anything that the acetone mixture doesn't.

Yes, I steam cleaned the tiles and it killed the green stuff. Not back yet anyway. Just used one of those garment steamers you can get for a few hundred bucks (actully I had one which I got free via Wellcome stamps last year). A friend suggested it and it really worked.
