Ryobi RY18PCA-0 ONE+ Patio Cleaner with Wire Brush (Bare Tool), 18 V

Product Information

The application couldn’t be easier, as the name suggests you just spread it on the area and walk away and leave it. It suggests you use a sprayer but you can also mix it and use it in a watering can. Although, make sure that you don’t use the same watering can as you use for your plants as it can kill plant life and there’s no point having a sparkling patio if your flowers have all been killed off. Tools are another thing that should be considered. Patio cleaner is typically applied either by pouring the solution direct on to the area or by using a garden sprayer. Garden sprayers work by using a pump to create pressure, which forces the liquid out of the sprayer through a nozzle. The type of nozzle you use will determine the type of spray you get. Often by using a garden sprayer you can get a more even coating of your chosen patio cleaner which will of course, produce better results. The key thing is to follow the instructions, as different cleaners will work in different ways. Some work better if applied to a wet or dry surface, and may need rinsing off a few hours after application. Others use a ‘wet and forget’ approach, where you just apply the cleaner then leave it on to do its work. Are there different types of patio cleaner for different problems? Dividing a patio cleaner's promised coverage by its current price can help you work out the best value patio cleaner for your needs, although it's also well worth factoring in its performance, the speed in which you'll see results, and how easy the application process is before making your decision. What is the best patio cleaning solution? All Ryobi ONE+ Tools require an 18V ONE+ battery to operate. The larger the capacity (Ah), the longer a tool will run for on a single battery charge. Each battery listed below is fully compatible with all Ryobi ONE+ Power and Garden Tools.

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. Jeyes claim it takes up to three days before you start seeing results but I saw a difference in the colour of the area that was treated once it had dried, which was approximately five hours. I did apply this product around three times before all the moss and algae were gone but considering it didn’t require any manual labour, I was more than happy with that result.

A telescopic shaft and the adjustable auxiliary handle provide maximum comfort for users of any height. To adjust the patio cleaner’s length, simply release the latch and slide the handle shaft up or down to cater for the correct height. By untightening the rotary knob, the angle of the auxiliary handle can be fine-tuned to fit any preference and provide the optimum grip and posture when completing the cleaning job. Once the solution has performed the task of removing dirt and algae, give the area a good rinse with a hose or a watering can. EFFECTIVE WIRE BROOM BRUSH - The broom handle of our outdoor cleaning brush measures in at 4ft/120cm, allowing you to apply for with ease as it scrubs away moss, dirt and lifts away tough grime, without forcing you to get down on your knees. The broom head measures in at 12"/30cm x 2 3/4"/7cm, and is filled with 7cm metal bristles for effectively cleaning tiled, marble, and cement surfaces. For softer surfaces (e.g. sandstone or tile), then you'll require the nylon brush wheel (RAC818) - sold separately. The next stage is to spray the affected area with plain water because the more damp the surface, the better the solution will perform.
