One of the reasons Tripleclean Gang offers a highly effective patio cleaning service is we know why your patio gets dirty. Several common problems can make a patio messy:
Dirt and Debris: Accumulating dirt, dust, leaves, twigs, and other debris on the patio over time can make it look dirty and unkempt.
Stains and Spills: Spills from food, beverages, oil, grease, and other substances can leave stubborn stains on the surface, especially if not cleaned promptly.
Algae and Mould Growth: Patios in shaded or damp areas may be prone to algae, mould, and mildew growth, making the surface slippery, discoloured, and unsightly.
Weather Elements: Exposure to weather elements such as rain, snow, sun, and wind can cause wear and tear on the patio, leading to discolouration, fading, and dirt accumulation.
Tree Sap and Plant Residue: Overhanging trees, shrubs, or nearby plants can drop sap, leaves, pollen, and other plant residues on the patio, causing stains and making it look dirty.
Rust and Mineral Deposits: Patio furniture, plant pots, or other metal objects on the patio may rust or leave mineral deposits on the surface, resulting in unsightly stains and discolouration.
Foot Traffic: Regular patio use by foot traffic can result in grime, and stains from shoes or heavy use, making the surface dirty and dull.
Lack of Regular Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance of the patio can prevent stains, and other contaminants from accumulating over time, making the deck look dirty and unappealing.
Understanding these common problems that can dirty a patio can help implement effective cleaning and maintenance strategies to keep your decking looking clean, attractive, and well-maintained.

There are several compelling reasons to hire a professional patio cleaner instead of attempting to clean your patio:
Expertise and Experience: Dependable patio cleaners have the knowledge and experience to assess the type of surface properly, determine the most effective and safe cleaning methods, and use the right tools and equipment for optimal results. They are trained in various patio cleaning techniques and can effectively handle different types of stains.
Time and Effort Savings: Patio cleaning can be time-consuming and labour-intensive, especially if you have a large patio or extensive stains. Hiring a reliable patio and driveway cleaner can save you valuable time and effort, allowing you to focus on other important tasks or leisure activities.
High-Quality Results: A skilled patio cleaner will use specialist equipment, commercial-grade cleaners, and proven techniques to achieve high-quality cleaning results that may not be achievable with DIY methods. They can effectively remove tough stains, mould, algae, and other contaminants, leaving your patio fresh and revitalised.
Protection of Patio Surface: Using incorrect cleaning methods or harsh chemicals can damage your patio, resulting in costly repairs or replacements. Professional patio cleaners know the proper techniques and cleaning solutions for different types of surfaces, protecting your patio from potential damage.
Safety Considerations: Patio cleaning can involve working with water, cleaning solutions, and potentially slippery surfaces, posing safety risks. A great patio cleaner is trained in safety measures and has the equipment to minimise risks and ensure safe cleaning practices.
Convenience and Convenience: Hiring a professional patio cleaner eliminates the need to gather and purchase cleaning supplies, rent or purchase equipment, and spend time and effort on the cleaning process. The right patio cleaner attends with tools, equipment, and cleaning supplies, making the process convenient and hassle-free.
Customised Services: Professional patio cleaners can tailor their services to your specific needs, considering the type of patio, level of stains, and any other requirements. They can provide customised solutions and recommendations based on their expertise and experience.
Long-term Cost Savings: While hiring a professional patio cleaner may involve an upfront cost, it can save you money in the long run by preventing damage to your surface, avoiding costly repairs or replacements, and prolonging the lifespan of your patio.
In summary, hiring a professional patio cleaner can offer expertise, time and effort savings, high-quality results, protection of the patio, safety considerations, convenience, customised services, and long-term cost savings. It can be a wise investment in maintaining your patio's cleanliness, appearance, and longevity.

As a professional patio cleaning company, our step-by-step process when providing a service to a customer typically includes the following:
We start by assessing the condition and type of decking to determine the appropriate cleaning method and equipment. This may include identifying any specific stains, or issues we can handle.
We prepare the area by clearing any debris, such as leaves, and twigs, from the surface. We may also move any furniture, potted plants, or other items obstructing the cleaning process.
Depending on the condition of the patio and the type of stains, we may apply pre-treatment solutions or cleaners to loosen grime, algae, mould, or other contaminants on the surface. This may involve using eco-friendly or specialised cleaning agents that are safe for the patio and the environment.
We use professional-grade pressure washing equipment to clean the surface thoroughly. This may involve adjusting the pressure and spray patterns to suit the type of patio and the level of stains. We avoid using excessive pressure that could damage the surface or surrounding areas. For more information, check out our post “Does pressure washing damage patios”.
For stubborn stains, we may use specialised stain removers or techniques to target and remove stains or markings from the patio. This may include scrubbing, brushing, using a pressure washer, or applying additional cleaning agents to tackle tough stains.
After pressure washing and stain removal, we thoroughly rinse the surface to remove all cleaning agents, dirt, and residue. We may use clean water or a neutralising solution to ensure all cleaning agents are appropriately rinsed. We also clean up any debris, water, patio cleaning fluid, or mess created during the cleaning process.
Once the patio is cleaned and rinsed, we inspect the surface to ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and free from any remaining acidic dirt or stains. We may make any necessary touch-ups or re-clean certain areas to achieve optimal results. We pay close attention to stubborn areas and will apply extra elbow grease if required, which is what you expect from a reliable patio cleaner. We want your patio slabs to look perfect.
As part of our service, we may provide post-cleaning recommendations to our customers, such as tips on how to maintain the patio's cleanliness, prevent future stains or damage to patio slabs, and extend the longevity of the patio. We'll wash away soapy water and any soapy residue from your patio and driveway, and any soapy buildup.
We prioritise customer satisfaction and ensure that our customers are satisfied with the results of our patio cleaning service. We may seek feedback, address concerns, and provide follow-up support as needed.
By following a comprehensive step-by-step process, we aim to provide thorough and effective patio cleaning services to our customers, leaving their patios clean, refreshed, and well-maintained.
As a professional patio cleaning company, our process for removing moss and algae from patios includes an assessment of the growth, pre-treatment with specialised eco-friendly solutions, allowing sufficient dwell time, agitation with brushes or brooms, pressure washing with appropriate settings, thorough rinsing and clean-up, application of anti-moss or anti-algae treatments for prevention, and providing post-cleaning recommendations to customers.
This comprehensive approach effectively removes moss and algae from the surface and helps prevent their regrowth. If left unchecked, moss will eventually cover your patio slabs. Our process aims to leave the patio clean, refreshed, and moss- and algae-free while protecting the patio and surrounding environment. We also remove weeds when cleaning patio slabs, even with a large patio.
In the UK, the most common materials used for patios and decking are:
Natural stone: This includes limestone, sandstone, granite, and slate. Natural stone is known for its durability, natural beauty, and versatility and is often used for creating a timeless and elegant look for patios and decking.
For natural stone patios, a professional cleaning company may start by assessing the type of stone and its condition. They may then use specialized eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are safe for natural stone to pre-treat the surface. This can be followed by gentle agitation using soft brushes or brooms to loosen dirt and stains. It's essential to use pressure washers on the right setting to rinse the surface, followed by a thorough clean-up. Post-cleaning, a professional company may recommend sealing the natural stone to protect it from future staining and damage.
Concrete: Concrete is popular for patios and decking due to its affordability, durability, and versatility. Concrete is popular as you can pour it into various shapes, sizes, and finishes to achieve different styles, from modern to traditional.
For block paving, a professional cleaning company may use a similar approach to natural stone but with specific concrete cleaning solutions that effectively remove dirt, grime, and stains. Pressure washing with appropriate settings is helpful to rinse the surface, and it is simpler to rinse away debris.
Brick: Brick is a classic and timeless material for patios and decking, known for its strength, durability, and rustic charm. It can be laid in various patterns and designs to create unique, eye-catching patio or decking surfaces.
Brick patios or decking may require special cleaning techniques. A professional cleaning company may use cleaning solutions that are safe for brick surfaces and gentle agitation with soft brushes or brooms to clean the brickwork. Pressure washing with appropriate settings may be used to rinse the surface, followed by clean-up to remove debris or residue.
Timber: Timber, such as hardwood or softwood, is commonly used for decking in the UK. Timber decking provides a natural and warm look and can be stained or painted to match the desired aesthetic. Hardwood, such as teak or oak, is typically more durable and resistant to decay, while softwood, such as pine or cedar, is more affordable but may require more maintenance.
Timber decking requires a different approach to cleaning. A professional cleaning company may use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are safe for timber and soft brushes or brooms to clean the timber boards. Pressure washing with appropriate settings may be used to rinse the surface, taking care to avoid damage to the wood. A professional company may recommend resealing or staining the timber to protect it from moisture and UV damage post-cleaning.
Composite materials: Composite materials like composite decking boards are becoming increasingly popular for their low-maintenance properties and eco-friendly features. They are typically made from a combination of wood fibres and recycled plastic and offer the look of wood without needing regular staining or sealing.
Composite decking may be cleaned using eco-friendly solutions that are safe for composite materials and soft brushes or brooms to clean the boards. Pressure washing with appropriate settings may be used to rinse the surface, followed by clean-up to remove debris or residue.
Yes, there are several eco-friendly ways to clean dirty patios. Here are some options:
Vinegar solution:
Baking soda paste:
Lemon juice: Cut a lemon in half and rub it onto stains or dirty areas of the patio. The citric acid in lemon juice can help break down dirt and stains. Scrub with a soft brush or broom, and rinse thoroughly with water.
Bio-friendly patio cleaners: There are eco-friendly patio cleaning solutions available in the market with natural, biodegradable ingredients. These can be a good option for environmentally conscious individuals who prefer ready-made cleaning products.
Hot water and elbow grease: Sometimes, simple hot water and scrubbing with a soft brush or broom can effectively clean patio stones, especially for light dirt and stains. This method requires no cleaning solutions, making it an eco-friendly option.
It's important to note that eco-friendly cleaning methods may require more effort and repeated applications than traditional chemical cleaners. Additionally, the effectiveness of these methods may vary depending on the type and severity of the stains or dirt on the patio. We aim to offer great value with all our services when we clean patio slabs and paving slabs.
A reliable patio cleaning company may use various types of specialist cleaning equipment, including pressure washers, Doff cleaning machines, steam cleaners, and other tools, depending on the specific needs of the patio and the level of dirt or stains present.
Pressure washer: A pressure washer is a powerful machine that uses high-pressure water when cleaning patio surfaces. It typically consists of a motorised pump, a hose, and a nozzle that releases the pressurised water. Pressure washer equipment is very popular, but only trained or confident people should use a pressure washer.
Pressure washers are effective for deep cleaning patio areas or stone paving and can save time and effort compared to manual methods. Jet washing is great to clean patio slabs, especially for more robust surfaces like concrete or brick. We also offer driveway cleaning services with a pressure washer or jet wash equipment.
Doff cleaning machine: A Doff cleaning machine is a specialised piece of equipment that uses high-temperature steam to clean and remove moss, and algae from various types of surfaces, including block paving and patios. The steam is applied at a controlled temperature and pressure to safely and effectively clean the surface without chemicals or high-pressure washers. Doff cleaning is ideal for sensitive or delicate surfaces like natural stone, as it does not damage the surface and leaves no residue.
Steam cleaner: A steam cleaner is a versatile tool that uses steam to clean and disinfect surfaces. Steam cleaners typically have a handheld nozzle or a larger unit with attachments that release steam at high temperatures to get rid of dirt, stains, moss, algae, and other contaminants from the patio slabs. Steam cleaning is eco-friendly as it uses only water and heat, without chemicals, and can be effective for a range of patio materials.
Soft brush or broom: Soft brushes or brooms can be used with the above equipment to agitate and release dirt, stains, moss, or algae from the patio slabs. They are often used for delicate or sensitive surfaces prone to damage with high-pressure water or steam. Soft brushes or brooms can help loosen and lift dirt, stains, or growth from the patio, making the cleaning equipment more effective.
We'll even use a garden hose and all manner of surface cleaners to ensure your entire surface is in great condition. Whether we are cleaning paving slabs or outdoor furniture, we combine warm water with a range of agents and tools such as a pressure washer to ensure we clean patio slabs to the highest standard.
The cheapest way to clean a patio is by using household items and manual labour, such as sweeping, raking, and using a homemade cleaning solution with water, dish soap, vinegar, or baking soda. Manual scrubbing with a scrubbing brush or mixing baking soda and vinegar with warm water from the water tap can also be effective. Renting a pressure washer may be a cost-effective option for more extensive or heavily stained patios, but sometimes, a garden hose is as good as a jet wash or pressure-washed finish.
Always test any cleaning solution or method on a small area first, and be mindful of the environmental impact. If you want complete peace of mind about caring for your patio, contact Tripleclean Gang, and we will be more than happy to advise you.
Bleach can be used to clean patios, especially with stubborn dirt, but be cautious as it can potentially damage certain surfaces and harm plants. Dilute bleach according to instructions, apply carefully, and wear protective gear. Test on a small area first and rinse thoroughly. Consider alternative eco-friendly options if you are concerned about damage or environmental impact.
First, identify the type of stain and prepare a suitable cleaning solution to remove stains from a stone patio. Apply the solution gently, scrubbing with a soft brush or cloth, and rinse thoroughly with water. Repeat the process if needed and consider preventive measures like applying a stone sealer or wax.
When using a pressure washer or jet wash to clean a patio, adjust the pressure and nozzle, maintain a proper distance, use a sweeping motion, wear safety gear, consider cleaning solutions, test and observe, and seek professional help. Carefully follow the manufacturer's recommendations and avoid damage to the patio surface.
