Product Information

Although the ready-to-use formula means there’s no preparation involved, it isn’t without elbow grease as you do have to scrub after application. First the area has to be cleared of any large debris, then the cleaner applied and left to soak in for 30 minutes, before giving it a good scrub with a brush. Then the next step is to rinse the cleaner away.

My Top Recommended Patio Cleaners

The Swarfega product is non-caustic and truly brilliant for general cleaning on just about any surface (sometimes I use it neat and it cuts through dirt and light grease - though it doesn't whiten yellowed gloss paint or old plastic cable) but Swarfega also do a dedicated patio cleaner. I'm certainly going to give that a try next time. First, prepare the solution by diluting the fluid with water according to the instructions on the label. The application couldn’t be easier, as the name suggests you just spread it on the area and walk away and leave it. It suggests you use a sprayer but you can also mix it and use it in a watering can. Although, make sure that you don’t use the same watering can as you use for your plants as it can kill plant life and there’s no point having a sparkling patio if your flowers have all been killed off. Now let's get started on preparing your patio for Jeyes Fluid application.

If you want more of a sterilising effect then you can just mix your solution stronger. Mix the Jeyes Fluid Step 3 – Pour onto the patio Using a pressure washer: Make sure your patio is swept clear, and always start with a low setting on the pressure washer. Increase the pressure carefully and gradually (although using pressure washers at high pressure might be effective, it can easily damage the surface of your patio). Work from a shallow angle and from a good distance to prevent putting exerting too much pressure on your paving slabs. Whichever you choose, it’s important to follow the instructions and use appropriate protective clothing. And, depending on the solution, you might have to keep pets indoors for a period of time.

You can definitely use Jeyes Fluid patio cleaner with a pressure washer. In fact, if you can, we suggest doing so for better results. It just so happened that we couldn't but even then we still were left with great results. You can also use it with a garden sprayer. Always read the label carefully, especially if you're using the outdoor cleaning solution around children or pets. If you have allergies or respiratory issues, then choose a patio cleaner that is labelled as hypoallergenic or non-toxic, and always wear a mask and gloves when applying toxic patio cleaners. How easy is the patio cleaner to use? I found this patio cleaner really easy to use, especially as it requires no scrubbing or rinsing away. It does have an overwhelming smell of vinegar which, whilst reassuring me that this is an all-natural product, did mean I had to make sure the windows stayed closed after application so the whole house didn’t smell of it. Algon claims that it can take up to two weeks before you see results, but I started to see the moss and algae lifting off the surface within a couple of days and after a week there was a very noticeable difference.
