JCB Garden - 5L Heavy Duty Patio Cleaner - Path Cleaner Concentrate - Mould, Lichen, Algae Remover

Product Information

It’s black lichen and they start off as tiny, dust-like spores, but they grow, feeding off the minerals in your stonework, and can eventually cover it completely. Take a look at all of the best patio cleaners we recommend above to keep your patio spick and span and free from mildew, clear the outdoor furniture and even your kids – it’s time to get that patio looking its best. Most patio cleaner solutions will identify what they're best for cleaning, but for those more embedded areas of lichen and dirt, you'll likely need to use extra elbow grease.

It's inexpensive and effective, and if you get the three-litre version, you'll be able to treat 120 square metres. If you don't want to use a patio detergent cleaner or if you have a large patio with a pressure washer, the T 7 cleaner is a good option. Using a sprayer or a scrubbing brush to apply patio cleaner is a good start, distribute the patio cleaner evenly across the surface of your patio area and into the smaller spaces. Some require the assistance of a pressure washer and some don’t, but even without the need to scrub, you should find these cleaners will ensure your garden looks fresh for six months or more. The efficient design with a twinjet spinning arm cleans surfaces in half the time as a spray lance, while the head's cowl avoids splashing and keeps you and your surroundings dry.

We tried it with the Kärcher K5 Premium Control (a hard-to-fault top-end pressure washer) and Kärcher K2 Compact (cheaper but still brilliant for everyday jobs) and although it guzzled up the litre of liquid very quickly, the speed and efficiency with which it cleaned is astonishing. It doesn’t give a glossy look, like some sealers, so only use it if you prefer the more natural look.

In fact, the formula has a pH value that’s just above water although the manufacturers warn that it can be toxic to aquatic life.

For the ultimate finish, complete the job with Nilfisk’s Stone Sealer to prevent further re-occurrence. One of the reasons the Everbuild 405 Path and Patio Seal Paving Sealer is so good is that it can handle a wide variety of patio materials. The Algon organic path and patio cleaner concentrate clean your patios while keeping your mind at peace, making it a safer cleaning solution for anyone with children, dogs, ponds, or a wildlife-friendly yard. This quickly eliminates dirt and grime off paving slabs while using less water than a standard garden hose.

Your pressure washer manufacturer may recommend specific brands or types of detergents – most usually their own – and the manual may have advice on what to use and how to add it.This product does exactly what it says on the label; it's ready to use, and all you have to do is spray it on with a garden sprayer and walk away while it removes the green mould and algae. You will often have to wait a few hours before seeing any difference, and in many cases the effects will seem small at first, but the area will look much cleaner after a few days. Although the best patio cleaners are made with pet-friendly components, it's always a good idea to double-check. Patio Magic Concentrate is extremely tough stuff and comes recommended by many as an excellent all-round cleaner. Always test in a small inconspicuous area before using it to ensure it is suitable and desired effect is achieved.

Even the slimiest of algae comes off easily and you can use it on decking, fencing, paths, patios, and driveways.If you have a large patio area or driveway to clean, this powerful patio cleaner provides excellent coverage once diluted. Midchem Speciality's spray and walk away from cleaning solution is a fast-acting formula that shows results in just two days. To eliminate moulds and algae and remove dirt and stains from the patio, simply apply it with a garden hose. When targeting weeds on your patio, the five-litre version comes with a convenient pump and an adjustable spray.
