What patios do we clean?

A good patio cleaner can clean your patio no matter the materials in use, and several materials are commonly used to build patios in Tonbridge:

Concrete

Concrete is a popular choice for patios because it is relatively inexpensive, durable, and easy to maintain. It can be poured in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be finished with a variety of textures and colours.

Brick

Brick patios are durable and have a classic, timeless appearance. They can be laid in a variety of patterns and can be easily repaired if damaged.

Natural stone

Natural stone such as granite or sandstone is popular for patios because of its natural beauty and durability. It is more expensive than concrete or brick, but can add value to a home.

Wood

Wood patios can be made from various materials, including treated lumber, composite decking, or hardwood decking. Wood patios require regular maintenance and may not be as durable as other materials, but they have a natural, warm appearance and can be a good choice for a more rustic or natural look.

Paving slabs

Paving slabs are pre-cut pieces of concrete or other materials used to create a patio surface. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to install but may not be as durable as other materials.

Cleaning methods for patios in Tonbridge

For concrete, brick, natural stone, wood and paving slab patios, you can use a pressure washer or DOFF steam cleaning to remove dirt, green algae and grime. Alternatively, you can scrub the deck with a mixture of water and mild detergent using a stiff-bristled brush.

For tough stains and stubborn dirt, you can use a commercial cleaner or a combination of water, vinegar, and baking soda.

Avoid using acidic cleaners or abrasive scrubbing pads, as these can damage the surface of some materials. Avoid using harsh cleaning products or abrasive pads with wood and paving slabs. Also, using a sealant after cleaning helps preserve patio slabs and outdoor furniture for longer. 

What is the cost of patio cleaning?

When it comes to patio cleaning cost, it is important to know there are many different factors to consider. The patio condition, materials, size of the patio, location, accessibility and other factors influence what a customer pays for this service.

The best patio cleaners provide a great service in removing stubborn dirt and transforming dirty patios into a place you love. There's more involved than just warm water and elbow grease, and even a pressure wash requires appropriate use.

Hiring a professional to clean your patio costs money, but the results are worth it.

How do you prevent organic growth on patios?

While our cleaning service leaves you with a fantastic-looking outdoor area, our customers also want to ensure their patio looks fantastic for many years. This is why we also offer preventative and protective services, which maintain the superb condition of your patio.
If you are concerned about organic growth like moss and algae returning to your patio, or you don’t want it to start in the first place, we offer specialist cleaning services that provide you with confidence and peace of mind.
There are several ways to prevent organic growth on patios:

Keep the patio clean

Regularly sweep and remove any leaves, twigs, or other debris from the patio to prevent the build-up of organic matter that can support the growth of plants or weeds.

Use a weed blocker

A weed blocker is a fabric or plastic sheet placed under the patio to prevent weeds from growing through the cracks.

Use physical barriers

Some people choose to use physical barriers, such as plastic edging or gravel, around the perimeter of the patio to prevent the spread of weeds or other plants.

Keep plants trimmed

Trimming any nearby plants or trees can help to prevent them from spreading onto the patio.

Apply a herbicide

Herbicides are chemicals that kill plants and can be applied to the patio to prevent the growth of weeds or other plants. Be sure to follow the instructions on the herbicide label and take appropriate precautions when using any chemical.

As you’d expect, this is the sort of job that is best left to the experts. Our team have specialist equipment, including PPE gear, and we are fully trained in using these cleaning products.

Alternatively, if you want to prevent moss growth through non-chemical means, we provide a range of solutions and sealants, so please get in touch with us for more information on these matters.

Eco-friendly patio cleaning solutions

If you are looking for a non toxic way to care for your patio, the following green patio solutions are worth considering:

Baking soda and vinegar

Mix equal parts baking soda and white vinegar in hot water to create a cleaning solution that removes dirt and stains from patio surfaces. To remove stubborn stains, adding more vinegar makes sense, as white vinegar is one of the most effective cleaning solutions in all parts of your home.

When paired with a stiff brush, you'll be amazed at what you can get out with this washing combination.

Lemon juice and water

Mix equal parts lemon juice and clean water to create a natural cleaning substance that you or we can use to remove stains and freshen up the patio slabs and patio furniture. Again, a stiff broom adds more power to the process when you clean your patio, and will sweep dirty water away.

Biodegradable soap and water

Mix biodegradable soap with water to create a gentle cleaning solution on the environment and effective at removing dirt and stains from patio slabs.

Soapy water works well on paving stones, plant pots and block paving, so it is an effective solution, although cold water is less effective, so make sure the water is warm!

If you clean your patio, washing up liquid can stand in as a suitable option, but hiring a professional patio cleaner makes more sense.

As a highly skilled patio cleaner, we have specialist cleaning products, so you can leave your washing up liquid in the kitchen as we clean your patio.

Pressure washing

Pressure washing is a quick and effective way to clean patio surfaces, but people should use it cautiously to avoid damaging the surface or surrounding plants. Our team is fully trained in the appropriate use of pressure washers, which includes the cleaning of patio furniture.

Steam cleaning

Steam cleaning is a chemical-free way to clean patio surfaces and can effectively remove dirt and stains.

It's important to test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the patio before using it on the entire surface to ensure that it does not cause any damage or discolouration.

Additionally, it's a good idea to avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can harm the environment and potentially damage the patio surface.

Can you steam clean a patio?

Yes, it is possible to steam clean a patio. Steam cleaning is a chemical-free way to clean patio surfaces and can be an effective way to remove dirt and stains. These machines are heavy duty cleaners, and unlike a power washer, they don't offer a high pressure, they provide a high temperature water solution, with lower pressure.

Steam cleaning is also an environmentally friendly solution that doesn't rely on soapy water. A vigorous steam clean can last for up to six months.

When steam cleaning a patio, it is vital to use a steam cleaner designed for outdoor surfaces. These machines generate high-temperature but low-pressure steam that can be used to loosen and remove dirt, stains, and other contaminants from the patio.

Before using a steam cleaner on a patio, it's a good idea to sweep or blow off any loose debris, like fallen leaves, to prevent it from being blasted into the air by the steam. Then, fill the steam cleaner with clean water and allow it to heat up.

Once the steam cleaner is ready, start at one end of the patio and work across the surface, using the steam to loosen and remove dirt and stains.

It's essential to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your steam cleaner to ensure that it is used safely and effectively. Additionally, be sure to protect any nearby plants or landscaping from the steam, as it can damage them.

Can you use a pressure washer on a patio?

Yes, using a jet wash or pressure washer to clean a patio is possible. Pressure washing is a quick and effective way to remove dirt, stains, and other contaminants from patio surfaces. It can be an excellent option for large patios or particularly dirty or heavily soiled surfaces.

To use a jet or pressure washer to clean a patio or garden furniture, you will need a machine designed for outdoor use with adjustable pressure settings. We have specialist pressure washer equipment, and will take care of this for you.

Not every patio washing task requires a pressure washer

We have discussed the challenges of using a pressure washer, and while it is highly effective on many patio surfaces, it isn't suitable every time. Our team is highly experienced in using a pressure washer to clean patio slabs, and we'll even say there are times when it is best to choose an alternative solution to a pressure washer.

Rest assured, when you choose Wash Your Walls, you work with a patio cleaner that provides you with the highest service tailored to your needs and requirements.

We keep your patio slabs and surroundings clean

When you are looking for a dependable patio cleaning solution that ensures your patio looks fantastic all year round, Wash Your Walls can help. You don't want to spend your free time washing and scrubbing your patio, not when you can be relaxing.

Hire a patio cleaner you can trust with your patio slabs

Rely on our Tonbridge team, and in a few hours, we'll deal with stubborn areas of grime, and you'll have one less thing on your to do list. Not only will we make sure your patio looks brilliant, even in the winter months, we can prevent regrowth, so you have less to worry about.
