Patio Cleaners
Remove mould, fungi, algae and lichen from your outdoor patio slabs, paving stones, and block paving with our range of specialist external surface cleaners. Great for removing dirt, grime, and contaminants to restore the appearance of paths, patios, and driveways. Cleaning is of the utmost importance when preparing to apply patio stains to concrete or stone, or patio paints for a decorative and protective finish. If decking is positioned on a patio area, it too should be thoroughly cleaned using specialist decking cleaners. Restoring patios and block paving is much more cost-effective than replacing bricks and stones, but only if they are cleaned properly beforehand.

Patio Cleaners: Effective Solutions for Outdoor Maintenance
Patio cleaners are essential for maintaining painted exterior areas exposed to harsh weather conditions and everyday wear. These cleaning solutions are specifically formulated to eliminate stubborn contaminants like moss, algae, and mould that accumulate on patios, driveways, wood decking, and other surfaces. By penetrating the surface and breaking down organic build-up, they leave areas not only clean but safer to walk on, minimising the risk of slips and accidents.
The versatility of patio cleaners makes them suitable for a range of materials, including stone, brick, concrete, and wood. Each surface has its unique cleaning needs, and using the correct product helps to preserve its structure and aesthetic appeal. Regular application, particularly after periods of wet or humid weather, prevents the growth of algae and moss, keeping outdoor areas looking well-maintained.
An additional advantage of using patio cleaners is their role in surface preparation. Before applying a sealant or protective coating, a thorough clean is crucial to ensure proper adhesion and long-lasting results. This pre-treatment process helps to enhance the durability of the treated surface, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and preserving its visual quality.
In commercial settings, maintaining clean patios and walkways is vital for safety and aesthetics. High-traffic areas are prone to build-up and can become hazardous if not regularly maintained. The correct use of patio cleaners in these environments supports compliance with safety standards and promotes a professional appearance, contributing positively to the property’s overall appeal.
Frequently Asked Questions About Patio Cleaners
How do patio cleaners work?
Patio cleaners work by penetrating the surface to break down and dissolve organic contaminants such as algae, moss, and mould. The active ingredients target the root of the growth, making it easier to wash away. After application, these cleaners often require rinsing with water to remove the dislodged residues, leaving the area clean and refreshed.
Can patio cleaners damage surfaces?
While most patio cleaners are formulated to be safe on common outdoor materials like stone, brick, and concrete, it is essential to follow manufacturer guidelines. Always test on a small inconspicuous area first, particularly on sensitive materials like limestone. Using the right cleaner for the specific surface will help prevent damage.
Are patio cleaners harmful to plants and pets?
Some patio cleaners contain chemicals that may harm plants or pets if not used correctly. It is advisable to cover nearby vegetation and keep pets away during application. Choose eco-friendly products where possible, and ensure thorough rinsing after cleaning to minimise any risk.
How often should patios be cleaned?
Ideally, patios should be cleaned at least twice a year, particularly in spring and autumn. However, high-traffic areas or surfaces prone to rapid organic growth may require more frequent cleaning. Regular maintenance helps to keep patios looking fresh and reduces the need for intensive cleaning later.
