All is not lost. And don’t think you will be spending a day scrubbing, down on your hands and knees, as there’s a wide range of patio cleaners out there to make the job easy. These detergents and specialist fluids are designed to cut through the grime to make your patio look as good as new. WIRE BRISTLES & V-BLADE SCRAPER: The 3 row wire bristles on this brush are made from strong and sturdy metal wire, so it will stand up to the most demanding of jobs. With its V-Blade scraping tool, you can loosen stubborn build-up, and then use the brush to finish the job A watering can is another way to apply patio cleaner, however, it’s important that you ensure this isn’t then used on your garden afterwards, especially if you’re using a chemical- based cleaner as they can often cause damage to plants. How much does it cost? You do need a little patience with this one. While the effect varies, you might find that, for the first day or two, nothing much seems to have changed. However, as time goes on, all that slippery algae and stubborn mould will disappear, and the longer you leave it, the better it gets. And while it seems expensive for what it is, this one bottle of concentrate makes 30 litres of spray, so you won’t need any more for a while unless you’ve got vast, palatial gardens. It’s the most effective of the spray-and-go cleaners.

When it comes to patio, pathway and driveway cleaning we would always recommend the best pressure washer for the task of removing algae, mould, lichen, moss, dirt and stains. Granted, most Kärcher pressure washers can work in tandem with a plug-in cleaning agent but the sheer power of high water pressure alone is usually more than enough to restore paving and stone to the way it was the day you first laid it. WIRE BRISTLES & SCRAPER: The 3-row wire bristles on this brush are made from strong and sturdy metal wire, so it will stand up to the most demanding of jobs. With its V-Blade scraping tool, you can loosen stubborn build-up, and then use the brush to finish the job Not usually. You will often have to wait a few hours before seeing any difference, and in many cases the effects will seem small at first, but the area will look much cleaner after a few days. Patience is key.

The diluted mix can then be applied to the surface and just left to dry. Jeyes do recommend that you apply the product with a pressure washer for better results, but this isn’t necessary, and since I didn’t use a pressure washer with other products, I just lightly worked the solution into the area with a soft bristle brush. Thanks to patio cleaning solutions, there's no need to invest in a pressure washer to clean your patio. None of the patio cleaners in our round-up require a pressure washer, although most can be used in tandem if you have a really grimy patio you want to get clean. The next stage is to spray the affected area with plain water because the more damp the surface, the better the solution will perform.

Yes, but they will require a decent application of elbow grease. 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. All Ryobi ONE+ Tools require an 18V ONE+ battery to operate.

Thirdly, you can invest in one of the best pressure washers on the market to hose down your dirty paving slabs and driveway. You can use plain water, or combine it with a patio cleaning solution for even more effective results. The downside is that a pressure washer uses a lot of water, and makes a lot of noise whilst in operation. How do you clean a dirty patio without a pressure washer? A guard for the scrubbing brush is included to protect the user from flying debris. With cordless convenience, users can use this tool anywhere, anytime to keep any patio looking its best!Whichever you choose, it’s important to follow the instructions and use appropriate protective clothing. And, depending on the solution, you might have to keep pets indoors for a period of time. However, pressure washers aren’t for everyone. Firstly, they’re not all that cheap to buy and, secondly, they require an outdoor water supply and a nearby electrical output. Also, the act of pressure washing is time intensive, especially if you have a large patio or a long, wide driveway. For softer surfaces (e.g. sandstone or tile), then you'll require the nylon brush wheel (RAC818) - sold separately.
