GREEN STUFF

[kloofnek]

Can anyone advise what is the best thing to clean all the green stuff on my patio...there are numerous products and really don`t know which to buy ..as they are not cheap do not want to waste money.Don`t mind paying for a really good product.
By the way,do not have one of those pressure washers.

There are two good products that i have used ( and you don't need a power washer ). one is called jeyes fluid path patio and drive cleaner and the other is called Patio Magic by Brintons. Both are very good ( also both are in blue containers ), you should be able to buy them at most DIY shops ( B&Q etc ).

I use Sodium Hypochlorite, available from farm suppliers - it is used to clean milking parlours and is the best thing I have ever found.
Dilute 1:3, sprinkle on damp ground, wait about 10 minutes and hose off. Wear old clothes.
A huge drum costs £12.85 and lasts for ages.

I use a 69p bottle of bleach diluted in a water can and a yard brush, good as new.

I agree with jvtv.....bleach, watered down, but I spray it on and let it dry.
Either way its the cheapest.

A strong solution of washing soda crystals in water left overnight will work wonders.

I third the bleach. I use it to clean down garden table and chairs too.

bleach really strong solution, stiff broom used to scrub it well in and then leave it for about 10 mins then rinse off with hose and rinsed brush

We have the same problem, we mix bleach in hot water, brush it all over the yard, leave to soak the use a good stiff yard broom.

Maybe try the soda crystals too...the patio really is bad ...literally green!!!!
