The weather is warming up and spring has officially begun. It’s the perfect time to clean outdoor areas ready for summer BBQ’s and garden parties.
During Autumn & Winter, patios, driveways, bricks, pathways and other outdoor areas are put through frost, strong winds and downpours. It can leave them discoloured and covered in debris, dirt, moss & algae.
We have a simple easy solution to outdoor cleaning that will leave your garden areas completely clean, clear and restored back to their original colour.
This blog post is an easy step-by-step guide for cleaning and removing moss, algae, unwanted debris and dirt from outdoor surfaces, using our Patio Cleaner.
Before You Start Cleaning Home Exterior
Here’s a few things to consider and prep before you start cleaning and restoring your outdoor garden surfaces.
1.Choose a warm, dry and still day for patio cleaning. It’s best to apply products such as our Pro Patio Cleaner on a dry day to allow the formula to do its job. If it rains within 48hours it can wash away the solution, making it a little less effective. For best results make sure it’s a beautiful spring or summer’s day.
2.What areas do you want to clean? It’s best to section off the areas to clean so that lawns and plants aren’t affected by any product you are using. You can lay down tarpaulin or a similar material just over the closest areas that you do not want to use the product on.
3.Garden sprayer – when applying patio cleaner products, you should always spray on evenly across the affected area. A garden sprayer or jet wash makes even applications much easier.
4.Clear the area – move garden furniture and anything else that you can, to another area whilst you do the cleaning so that you can get the full space spring cleaned.
5.Garden broom – sweep away any excess debris, such as leaves and loose dirt using a garden broom. This will make the area clear and ready for applying Pro Patio & Decking cleaner solution.
