hi,
I would like to know the best time of the year to clean paving and also what is the best product to do this? Don't need the hassle of powerhosing so keen to know if there is a spray that can be applied and then left to do the hard work?
thanks
Brendan |

What impact would that have on the grass around the path? |

I use very hot water and flash with a long handled scrubbing brush, takes a bit of elbow grease then I wash off with garden hose, do not use powerwasher as it leaves streaks . you can also seal the patio with a type of wht........... ill get back to you cant think of name off hand Think its callled Patio sealer available fromm all good hardwore stores. I bought mine in Woodies. |

No matter what Detergent you use your still going to have to Hose it off...and Elbow grease is still needed with other products...I powerwash twice a Year around the entire House including Timber Patios and Paving Slabs and I see an instant Improvement with no streaks...if you take your time.
There is no easy simple solution and at the end of the Day the results will be determined by the effort you put into it... |

If it does not kill the Grass it will leave it discolored for quite a while |
