Read on for more! What You Can Do While we understand there is often a desire to clean your patio yourself with bleach and a pressure washer, this is not the recommended method for getting the results you’re probably hoping for. In order to get the best outcome, there may come a time when you need to engage the services of a company such as ours to assist with this messy and time cosnuming task. However, while that may be the case, that is not to say there aren’t jobs that you can do to prepare the patio for cleaning. If you have a range of patio furniture, you want to ensure these are safely stored out the way before conducting any cleaning. While some people prefer to store their patio furniture out of the way during the winter months, this is not the case for everyone, so it is worth considering if your furniture is still out but covered. The last thing you want is for the furniture to get ruined or damaged during the cleaning process! Once you have cleared a space for yourself and anyone else who might be cleaning the patio, you can consider any other factors that might need dealing with before you can crack on with the cleaning process. Getting rid of any pesky, stubborn weeds that may have grown through the cracks is an ideal place to start and will make things easier for any professionals you bring in to complete the job. This leads us to the following point. Using Professional Services There are many things you could do as a homeowner or tenant to attend to the cleanliness and ongoing maintenance of your patio. There are even more benefits to using the services of a company such as our own. For a project that can assumed to by easy and a piece of cake isn’t always so! Of course the current state of your patio will dictate the attention it requires and what level of cleaning is needed. For those patios that are in dire need of some TLC, it may well be the case that certain chemicals are essential as a means of bringing the tired tiles to their best once more. Whether you are searching for patio cleaning in Cornwall or Cardiff, you can expect to find the same techniques and methods used by professionals all over. What’s more, companies like ours can provide you with top quality products, like those provided by Smartseal solution, which not only cleans the patio but also accentuates the underlying colours of the surface while protecting the patio slabs moving forward. Ideal for achieving standout patio tiles for any upcoming garden parties! By using the services of a professional patio cleaning company, like ours, you can rest assured that the job will be done to the best standard and in a set time frame. You needn’t worry about any pesky dirt on your patio derailing your upcoming plans, that is for sure! Not to forget that by using the services of a professional, you are minimising the risk of something going wrong. While we recognise that most people would understand how to use a pressure washer on their patio or how to use the right chemicals to remove unwanted dirt and grime, there is always the chance that a DIY job will cause more harm than good to your patio slabs and the joins between them. As the summer months continue, and with the easing of lockdown restrictions, our social calendars are set to receive a bit of a shock following an extended period of emptiness. That winter felt like a long one indeed! From an aethestic point of view it may well be the time to think about getting your patio in tip-top condition, but whether you intend to show it off with endless visitors there are actually other benefits to regular patio cleaning which we will go into a bit more detail now. Benefits of Cleaning Your Patio Regularly It seems somewhat obvious, but by regularly cleaning your patio, you significantly reduce the effort you will need to put in when you next clean it. Scheduling a day each month or every few months to give your patio a clean will make sure it looks its best at all times. What’s more, you could consider cleaning your patio more frequently during times of the year when you are using it the most. The choice is entirely up to you. Using particular products that protect exterior surfaces such as patio slabs, imprinted concrete and block paving are also a huge help to keeping the cleaning effort to a minimum. When applied properly they can help keep all unwanted dirt, weeds, moss and mould at bay. The build up of moss and mould is definitely something to focus on as they can be potentially harmful and are certainly a slip hazard. Once they take hold they can be like an infurating weed that requires a lot of attention and effort to get rid of. We all know the UK climate encourages growth of these nasties so you will no doubt have experience of the stuff growing on your outdoor surfaces. Regularly cleaning your patio, especially at the first signs of this growths, will make sure moss and other moulds do not get the opportunity to take over. And lastly if your hard landscaped garden is your pride and joy you will most certainly want to protect and extend the life of your investment. Quality paving isn’t cheap but with regular cleaning, and in our opinion the focus and attention of a professional service provider, can help you maintain your patio and get years of enjoyment from you outdoor space.
