After that, you can just let it get to work. It’s non-acidic, contains no bleach and is biodegradable. Although, as is typical for these kinds of products, you must keep children and pets away from the treated area until it’s dry.

In fact, they often require next to no work from you at all. The best patio cleaner will simply require that you mix the solution and spread/spray it over the patio. Some cleaners will need to be applied with a brush, and in some cases you will have to rinse the area with the garden hose. This cleaner can be mixed for either normal use or very heavy contamination. To use, simply dilute the solution at 1 part cleaner with 9 parts water, then apply to the surface. It’s fully biodegradable so will break down over time.Another of this product’s features is that it doesn’t require particularly sunny conditions to be essential for application. It can be used year-round to give your patio a serious spruce up. Using a pressure washer: Make sure your patio is swept clear, and always start with a low setting on the pressure washer. Increase the pressure carefully and gradually (although using pressure washers at high pressure might be effective, it can easily damage the surface of your patio). Work from a shallow angle and from a good distance to prevent putting exerting too much pressure on your paving slabs.

Users have also reported needing to use a wrench to open the lid, as it’s quite difficult to get into. This might be an important consideration if you have mobility issues in your hands. Although a pressure washer can be a good option for cleaning the patio, they are far more expensive than patio cleaners and certainly require you to put more work in. Plus, a pressure washer can cause damage to the patio if used too often. Portable pressure washers generally have less power than mains powered models, so this could also be a decent alternative.If you don’t fancy doing a lot of scrubbing to get your patio clean, the HYDRA DeGreen Patio Cleaner should be in your cupboard.
