Description

When it comes to cleaning the patio, you’ll want to avoid reaching for the pressure washer too often – no matter how satisfying it is. The degree of absorption depends on the quality and condition of the surface it is applied to, aswell asthe porostiy and if it's previously been coated or treated.

Existing painted surfaces – Surfaces should be cleaned, degreased, and sanded to ensure an adequate “key” is produced. Remove all loose and flaking material and treat bare areas as a new surface. The chemical cement stain removers sold by builders' merchants contain an acid that reacts with the cementitious material, breaking it down and enabling total removal by repeated chemical treatment and scrubbing with a wire brush. Consequently, exceptional care is required. A further handy tip for heavy staining is to pre-wash the affected paving with "OxiClean", a product more normally associated with domestic laundry. It does need diluting, and because of the high strength, it’s important that the concentrated product doesn’t touch your skin. In fact, I’d recommend wearing protective gear and clothes you don’t really care about – even a small splash of this product will discolour your trousers! After each and every treatment, wash down with clean water and allow to dry before inspect and assessing the results. Repeat if necessary, but no more than is absolutely essential.

The easiest way to clean concrete depends on how dirty your patio has become. For speed and ease, a pressure washer is your best friend, but they are expensive and bulky to store. They can also cause damage to pavers and joints if used to aggressively.

The concentrated formula is highly effective but still very safe to use. Kids and pets should still be kept away until the area is dry however, and you’ll still need to take extra care when handling this solution, to avoid harm to your eyes and skin. Give the stain a full day to dry, then apply the high-gloss sealer. Choose a day or time of day when the patio is shaded (don’t apply the sealer in direct sunlight). Start by cutting in with sealer along the patio edges with a 3-in. brush. The milky white sealer turns clear as it’s applied. Roll sealer on the rest of the patio with a 3/8-in.-nap roller (Photo 8). Let the sealer dry for two hours, then apply a second coat. Roll the second coat perpendicular to the first coat. Endless possibilities

Pressure washing and using a patio cleaner are the easiest ways to clean your patio, but if you'd prefer to use what you already have in the cupboards and don't mind getting on your hands and knees and putting in that extra effort, you can try using the soap, vinegar, or bleach method. The soap method Product must be left at least 48 hours to fully cure before the treated area can allow any form of traffic. Yes, but they will require a decent application of elbow grease. You can spray the entire surface with water using a garden hose, then dissolve 75ml of washing soda in a gallon of hot water and scrub with a brush soaked in the solution, re-dipping as required. Alternatively, you can sprinkle powdered dishwashing detergent over the entire surface and scrub. Thoroughly wet the entire area where Sika FastFix All Weather is to be applied with water. This includes not only the joints, but also the entire slabs. Allow any standing water to drain before Sika FastFix All Weather is applied. One bottle will treat up to 300 m², although this does depend on how porous the material being cleaned is. If your paving is made of permeable clay pavers or dry-laid pavers, you may find that more product is lost through the patio itself or through the gaps between the paving stones.
