Not simple with a rake as very hard work and will not get rid of the problem. First kill the moss that is there with lawn sand (ferrous sulphate mixed with sand) or water soluble ferrous sulphate watered in. Then get rid of the reason for the moss which is most commonly compaction. Lots of hole with a garden fork is a great way if the lawn is not too large!

Depending on how big an area, raking, scarifying or treatment, ferrous sulphate works well, but not sure where you would get it.

Normally caused by bad drainage so it would help to aerate the soil, usually spiking or coring.

Edit: beaten to it
