Providing your patio with a thorough deep cleaning can make it look like new, but the best way to achieve that like-new look, varies greatly by the material of your patio. We found a great eHow.com article that identifies the best way to clean each surface.
Pressure washing can make a dramatic difference on your pation.
Pressure washing can do a great job of cleaning most surfaces on your patio. Pressure washing involves mixture of a cleaning solution and water is sprayed at high velocity to remove dirt, moss and more from many surfaces. Brick patios and concrete patios respond best to power washing.
Concrete patios might not require any special solutions added to your washer, but tougher stains might need a bit of liquid dish soap and warm water to clean. A small amount of bleach mixed with water should effectively clean any moss, mold and stains from brick patios.
Stone pavers require more daily maintenance than an occasional power washing; too much water can actually cause your stone patio to become discolored. Sweep the area frequently and place mats under furniture and in high-traffic areas for best results.
