Product Information

The Pro-Kleen Simply Spray & Walk Away Patio Cleaner is arguably the easiest patio cleaner to use. First, it arrives pre-diluted so there’s no need to worry about mixing it yourself. Plus, it can simply be sprayed onto your patio then left to do its job. When your area is fully saturated with the product, that’s it, you don’t need to do anything else, you can just leave it. You can actually hear this product working. It’s not ideal for pet owners or those concerned about wildlife, as the instructions say the area has to completely dry before animals can walk on it, and even then it’s recommended that paws are washed to avoid your pet ingesting any due to the toxic chemicals used in the solution. Before use, remove any loose debris from the work surface and ensure you have adequate safety wear, i.e gloves, suitable protective eye-wear, face mask & clothing.

On this list, you’ll find patio cleaners that reactivate when it rains, meaning they continue treating the patio for several months after application. This is a real time saver and something well worth looking out for! Again the type of material your patio is made from can make a difference as you need one that is suitable for your surface. Multi-surface options are often cheaper than specialised surface cleaners. The cleaning fluid needs to be left on the surface for at least two hours, during that time the surface must not be allowed to dry out. If necessary mist with additional cleaning fluid or with a fine mist of clean water to prevent the paving from drying. Work the area(s) of stubborn staining with a brush, if necessary, but ensure the surface remains wet at all times. After at least two hours of dwell time, the treated area should be washed down with clean water first to neutralise the cleaner before then power washing off for great results.

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. Patio cleaners don’t require fierce scrubbing or excessive elbow grease. In fact, they often require next to no work from you at all. The best patio cleaner will simply require that you mix the solution and spread/spray it over the patio. Some cleaners will need to be applied with a brush, and in some cases you will have to rinse the area with the garden hose.

How To Choose a Patio or Deck Cleaner

Some patio cleaners are not just for stone but can also be used to clean your patio furniture, be it wood, plastic, or metal. For wood, you will want something that kills algae which is very prone to settling on damp wood. Metals will need to be treated with a non-corrosive liquid. It's handy to buy an all-in-one solution as if it needs diluting — or if you have a smaller outdoor space — you might not be able to use it all and storage of a bottle of this size might be a big no. It’s non-acidic, contains no bleach and is biodegradable. Although, as is typical for these kinds of products, you must keep children and pets away from the treated area until it’s dry.
