How To Clean garden Walls and A patio
By cleandude

after a good scrub I wash it away with water using a hose or throwing buckets of water over it. Sometimes I will scrub vininegar, normal surface disinfectant or diluted bleach into the ground before rinsing-the vinegar and surface cleaner doesn’t need to be rinsed. Sometimes after cleaning, I hoover the patio, this makes it look super clean an tidy. It is a good idea to do this around once every month or two. This is an idea for those who don’t want to splurge out on expensive patio cleaners, although I am sure there are some cheap ones for those who dont like the effort. To maintain my patio, I sweep it or sometimes rinse it with a hose every week or two. I undertsand some people hate the whole ‘perfection thing" however I think my method can be tweaked to fit in with everyone’s preferences.
Thanks for reading

Very true, hence I choose between them, however I prefer vinegar as bleach can be harmful to pets. Thanks for the advice

glad you enjoy your clean patio, I haven't got one thankfully nor decking to keep clean, just an old concrete path that my old hubby does with a power washer :o)

Ha ha... Great comment Seaburn.
I admire your commitment, Cleandude but, my patio gets a jet wash once or twice a year and swept every few days but that's enough for me. It gets used for potting up plants etc so will my ever be spotless (in fact it's filthy at the moment ...waiting for its spring clean)

Hoovering the patio?? Crumbs.

I know it sounds mad hoovering the patio but it gets rid of those annoying little pesty leaves etc that wont budge and if I'm too lazy to brush them away the hoover works a treat....lol I'm a bit OCD

I usually just hose mine down and brush it aswell. I only do the "extreme cleaning" every two months or so....but to be fair I'm a bit OCD

Just thought I would mention since many people do not know that one should never use vinegar and bleach together no matter what the dilution. Produces deadly chlorine gas which can fry ones lungs very quickly. Otherwise each one alone, no problem.
