The patio is a great place to relax after a long and tiring day. However only if you have maintained a clean patio with regular patio cleaning will you really enjoy yourself while on the patio. So if you think your patio needs to be cleaned, and don't know where to start, just follow these simple but effective patio cleaning tips. Patio cleaning cannot be done at a go; it has to be done one step at a time. The first thing to do is to move the furniture off the patio. In the process, sort the furniture into pieces that are in good shape and those which have to be confiscated. Remember that it is possible to refinish and restore old hardwood patio furniture; so don't dispose of them immediately. Next, use a good, strong broom to sweep the patio thoroughly. There are brooms specially meant for sweeping patios and driveways available at the local hardware store. If you don't have heavy duty garden tools and bags for pulling weeds, buy them too. If you decide to continue with the patio cleaning on your own, you have to rent a power hose or power scrubber for the job. While at it, be careful when handling chemicals as some chemicals may kill plants when they run into your yard and others, over bleach your stones. Approach your hardware store for help and guidance on the right chemicals to use, and their proportions. Once this is over, your patio cleaning is over and you have your patio ready to face the next season.
