Remove Stains: Stains are a common problem on patios, particularly those made from concrete or stone. To remove stains, use warm water and washing-up liquid/soap/soda crystals in a bucket and scrub the affected area with a gentle brush. Rinse the area thoroughly with water and repeat the process as needed.

Sweep frequently: The easiest and best approach to maintaining your patio is to give it a frequent sweep. To get rid of dirt, leaves, and other material that may be collected on your patio’s surface, use a broom or a leaf blower. Due to weed growth and eventual patio damage, debris accumulating in the spaces between pavers will be avoided.

Pressure Wash Your Patio: If your patio is particularly dirty or stained, you may want to consider using a pressure washer or a hose pipe at a low setting to clean it. Pressure washing can remove stubborn dirt and stains from the surface of your patio, leaving it looking like new.

Prevent weed growth: Weeds can quickly take over your patio if left unchecked. To prevent weed growth, you can simply use a weeding tool to uproot the weed.

Remove Stubborn Dirt and Stains: Before you begin patio cleaning, you need to remove all plants and furniture out of the way. Then, sweep the patio and remove weeds using a weeding tool. Prepare a cleaning solution by mixing half water and half white vinegar (made from grain) and pour this solution onto your patio using a watering can to evenly distribute it on the surface. Wait for about 20 minutes and scrub clean with a brush. Clean and mop the area with water and put your patio furniture and plants back in their place.
