Sika Brick and Patio Cleaner | Powerful Acid Based Cleaning Solution for Brickwork, Concrete and Patios - 5 Litre - Clear

Product Information

Always follow the manufacturer guidelines for use and wear protective clothing and goggles when using patio cleaners as they contain harsh chemicals. Take care in case of splashes and dispose of waste thoroughly after use to avoid harm to humans or the environment. The application process was straightforward. One part solution needs to be mixed with four parts water, or if your cleaning job is light, you can mix it with nine parts water. The diluted mix can then be applied to the surface and just left to dry. Jeyes do recommend that you apply the product with a pressure washer for better results, but this isn’t necessary, and since I didn’t use a pressure washer with other products, I just lightly worked the solution into the area with a soft bristle brush.

The concentrated formula is highly effective whilst being reasonably safe to use. It doesn’t contain bleach or acids, but kids and pets should still be kept away until the area is dry. Also, you’ll still need to take extra care when handling this solution, to avoid harm to your eyes and skin. Another of this product’s features is that it doesn’t specify sunny conditions to be essential for application. Although results might not be as effective, you can also clean your patio with this product in the winter if you want to. Tools are another thing that should be considered. Patio cleaner is typically applied either by pouring the solution direct on to the area or by using a garden sprayer. Garden sprayers work by using a pump to create pressure, which forces the liquid out of the sprayer through a nozzle. The type of nozzle you use will determine the type of spray you get. Often by using a garden sprayer you can get a more even coating of your chosen patio cleaner which will of course, produce better results. You'll want to work out the amount of solution that comes in the bottle and compare it with the price to see if you're getting good value. In some cases, where you needn't dilute the solution, you might need to buy more than one bottle. Solutions you need to dilute will obviously be able to cover more space than those you pour on straight. Why do I need a patio cleaner?It arrives pre-diluted so there’s no need to mix this product before use. While you should still be fairly careful not to get this product on your skin, the fact that it arrives diluted means you’re not dealing with the same potency as you are with other cleaning products.

K-Seal Max-Strength Patio Cleaner is a professional patio cleaner. It is designed to remove ingrained dirt and stubborn stains from a wide variety of paving surfaces including: Some patio cleaners are not just for stone but can also be used to clean your patio furniture, be it wood, plastic, or metal. For wood, you will want something that kills algae which is very prone to settling on damp wood. Metals will need to be treated with a non-corrosive liquid. It's handy to buy an all-in-one solution as if it needs diluting — or if you have a smaller outdoor space — you might not be able to use it all and storage of a bottle of this size might be a big no. It doesn’t require rinsing off, scrubbing or pressure washing, although if you have lots of moss then you may still need to gently remove it with a brush.

Some patio cleaners require more effort than others and need to be scrubbed into the patio flooring and then rinsed off. Others are 'spray and walk away'. These can be applied and left to work on grime, mould and algae as it dries, leaving a protective coating that continues to keep the surface of your patio clean for months. Patio cleaners can also be very versatile, with some solutions not only able to clean patios but other hard surfaces which also green mould and algae, such as caravans and window frames. The Pro-Kleen Patio Cleaner, for example, can be used to clean roofs, fending, uPVC windows and motor homes! Having a versatile product can make it even better value for money, as well as make your life easier by not requiring you to buy separate cleaning products. Keeping your patio clean and free of dirt, grime, algae, and other stains that accumulate over time can be a demanding yet essential task. It often takes more than just hosing down your outdoor area, and that’s where utilising one of the best patio cleaners can help. But with so many different types of outdoor cleaner on the market, choosing the best one for your outdoor space can be an overwhelming decision. 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.If in doubt, please call Kingfisher Building Products on Technical Dept. Tel: 01229 869 100. Advantages

You have three main options when it comes to cleaning a patio. Firstly, the all-natural solution requires some water, white wine vinegar, and a lot of elbow grease. You can also use some diluted washing-up liquid and get scrubbing. This is the best option for the environment, and the cheapest way to clean a patio, however, it will involve a good amount of getting down on your hands and knees and scrubbing. The Jarder Spray & Leave Concentrate Patio Cleaner produces results in just 24 hours, and it doesn’t require any scrubbing or pressure washing after application. Most products are long lasting, with some able to keep green mould and algae at bay for up to 12 months after the initial application. A patio cleaner can add a little oomph to your usual outdoor cleaning routine. While sweeping can remove sand and dirt, a liquid patio cleaner often contains herbicides or fungicides that will clear moss, lichen, and algae — aka all the stuff that makes your patio turn green. Once the solution has performed the task of removing dirt and algae, give the area a good rinse with a hose or a watering can.The next stage is to spray the affected area with plain water because the more damp the surface, the better the solution will perform. Plus, it can also be used to treat mouldy walls and fences before painting them, removing mould that would otherwise ruin the finish of the paint. So, if you’re planning a big garden spruce up, this multipurpose patio cleaner could be incredibly helpful.
