You might also want to consider having copper stripping installed on your roof for prevention. Water picks up copper ions as it runs over it which will prevent moss, algae, and other microorganisms from growing in the first place, reducing the need for cleaning or chemical treatments.
Not sure if there’s an equivalent for walls or siding though. If it’s a north facing or shaded area you could consider trimming back trees so the sun can inhibit growth as well.
