Wildlife friendly solution for making decking and slabs less slippy

[FlaotingAway]

Putting this in Gardening rather than Property as wanting a kinder, wildlife and pet friendly solution for removing slippiness from smallish decking area and smallish slabbed area.

Wondered if soda crystals would do the job?

Open to suggestions and guidance.

jet wash is the only real way. If you don't want to for some reason then sand

@user876477 do you mean sanding the deck, because I was wondering if putting some actual sand on and brushing it up and down might scrape the slimy stuff off too?

Sprinkle sharp sand on your paving and brush with a stiff broom. Monty Don's tip!

That’s in effect how the sand works. Feet scrubbing it up and down the surface.

for slabs, I take a bucket of hot water with some washing up liquid and use a scrubbing brush. I seem to have to do it only once in a winter

Steam cleaning to clean it and kill spores? Then seal the wood with something non-slip if possible.

We have a powerful, around 150 degree steam cleaner for our house and patio (Dupray neat steam cleaner, a Which best buy) and is easy to use and effective. Apparently steaming works for decking too. Or hire a firm to steam clean it with an industrial machine before sealing it.

No I mean sprinkling sand on it

We jet wash once a year.
