Question

Hi What's the best way to clean a patio please? I have 2 dogs that use the area and can be kept away from it for a few hours or over night but it has to safe for them afterwards. I also don't have a pressure washer or a hose or a tap that I can attach either one to just to make it more difficult  Any advice would be brilliant  thanks!  

Answer 1

Pink stuff is amazing at cleaning patios look like new

Pink Stuff is also marketed as environmentally non-toxic so as long as it’s rinsed well, I think I’d be happier using this than bleach with my dog using the area. Hubby started cleaning ours with pink stuff cream cleaner and it came up good (gave up when neighbour lent us pressure washer )

Answer 2

Jeyes fluid and a hard broom x

Answer 3

I use bleach as long as its dry when they go back on it it will be ok x

@wesle7 just straight bleach or diluted? Thank you

I squirt straight bleach down and then hose it down, you could use buckets of water if you haven't got a hose :) x

Answer 4

Jeys fluid I think it's called you can get a pet one :)

Answer 5

Jeyes fluid especially for animal urine, use it all the time x

Pressure washer if you can get one as then you can clean more often and only use chemicals for deep clean.

Try some of this, dilute it as per instructions it kills the bacteria that cause the smell Just make sure it’s dry before the Dogs walk on it
