A dull and dirty patio is all but inevitable – unless it is cleaned properly at periodic intervals. However, here cleaning doesn’t mean that you should run a garden hose on your patio and be done with it.
It won’t make much of a difference. On the contrary, it might actually do more harm than good. For example, if your patio pavers are made of concrete, the water will get inside because concrete is a porous substance. The tiles of your patio will become waterlogged and attract all manners of organic pollutants such as moss and lichen. In time, the original look of your patio will disappear beneath the organic and inorganic pollution.
Apart from that, it is unlikely that any DIY attempt would be able to clean all the years of accumulated dirt and grime from deep within the concrete. The same applies to natural stone and clay brick patios as well.
These days, many people have started using wood or wood composite to create their patios. While they may look very attractive, the constant exposure to the elements will quickly ruin their pristine appearance. Once again, trying to clean it on your own might not give you the desired results, regardless of the copious amounts of ‘elbow grease’ you put into your work.
Using excessive water pressure to clean your patio would strip away its outer protective layers, and leave it even more exposed to the elements. Once that happens, moss, algae and lichen will quickly take over and your once beautiful patio would start looking ugly. However, it doesn’t have to be this way at all.
