Product Information

Once the patio cleaner is applied, it’s time to wait. Depending on the product and for the full effects, we recommend waiting a few hours for the majority of patio cleaners, but it could be minutes for those with little patience to just a few days or sometimes even one week. This is when the cleaner works great, breaking down dirt, grime, and tough stains. You may even need to consider sealing your outdoor surfaces for added protection, too – if you haven’t done so already. The best algae remover, used regularly, can help stave off the nasty stuff.

It also shouldn’t be used in very bright sunlight. One thing to bear in mind is that if this product is used on a windy day, it could kill plants nearby. You obviously only want to kill weeds, not your lovely flowerbeds! In times like this, the best option is usually to invest in an outdoor floor cleaning solution like this fine selection of products we review below. Outdoor floor cleaning solutions may have a few iffy chemicals in their formulae but, by jove, they mostly work wonders without you having to perform much physical activity in the process. Ultimately, a great patio cleaner should cover your outdoor space with as little hassle as possible. You want a hard-working solution that’s not going to break the bank.

You can spray the entire surface with water using a garden hose, then dissolve 75ml of washing soda in a gallon of hot water and scrub with a brush soaked in the solution, re-dipping as required. Alternatively, you can sprinkle powdered dishwashing detergent over the entire surface and scrub.It also gets rid of the necessity to use a pressure washer on your patio, which can cause more harm than good. Always read the label carefully, especially if you're using the outdoor cleaning solution around children or pets. If you have allergies or respiratory issues, then choose a patio cleaner that is labelled as hypoallergenic or non-toxic, and always wear a mask and gloves when applying toxic patio cleaners.
