Hmm Have you tried agitating already? Sometimes those surfaces come up fine, other times a wet brush doesn’t remove a lot. But If it’s just green algae, and if you haven’t tried yet, I would personally first get a fairly strong mix of ubix (or something similar) mixed with hot water in a back pack, agitate with a stiff brush, then clean with a soft brush.

If that doesn’t then yeah, bio would work, algo clear pro can be applied to nearly all plastic/ wood/ metal & masonry surfaces. Use the foamiest nozzle possible as it’ll run off easily on that surface. 

(Disclaimer: 1 haven’t actually biocide that kind of material/surface before) let us know what you do

I would just use hot water and dip brush in degreaser, it will be alga I imagine.

 
@tench0771 I'd want to know what it's made up off, these composite woods can be a bit like MDF but the outer coating can be like a kitchen worktop, 

We are having composite panels in our new bathroom and the outer-skin is like a kitchen worktop for the shower panels and the panels just click together they are a distressed wood effect, which maybe similar to what you are cleaning, things are moving so fast these day's with new developments across the board......
