What's the cheapest way to clean a patio?

The cheapest way to clean a patio is of course to DIY!

If you only need to give your patio slabs a light clean, you can try this yourself using soap and water with a broom or hard brush. It's one of the more accessible DIY jobs but can be tiring and messy.

This method will get rid of some of the light dirt. However, it won’t deal with any tougher ingrained dirt, algae, or oil stains. For this, you’ll likely need to hire a pressure washer.

If you’re using a pressure washer, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, wear protective goggles, and wash carefully. You can end up damaging brickwork and concrete if you use a pressure washer in the wrong way.

What time of year should I clean my patio?

Spring is an ideal season for cleaning your patio. With more sunlight and less moisture in the air, algae and green deposits are easier to remove.

Milder temperatures also mean you won't be cleaning or pressure washing in the cold - and there'll be no risk of water freezing.

Should you pressure wash a patio?

Yes, pressure washing your patio is a great idea. If you choose hire a cleaning service, they’ll almost always use a pressure washer.

Also known as jet washing, this involves using water at a high pressure to blast away dirt, moss, algae, and other stains. It’s the best way to get rid of tougher stains that you won’t be able to remove with soap and water or a broom.

What other patio cleaning methods are available?

Steam cleaning is a low-pressure method that’s gentler and therefore kinder to patios made from natural stone.

Your patio cleaner may also use light chemicals to remove black lichen spots and algae. Always ask what methods your patio cleaner uses and check that they have the right tools to be able to clean your specific patio.
