If you’ve tried other patio cleaners in the past, you’ll likely find that this product (and its active ingredients) help achieve a cleaner patio for longer. Patio Magic can be used on all outdoor hard surfaces including paved areas, patios, paths, driveways, walls, decking, fencing, greenhouse or conservatory glass, perspex and garden furniture. Ensuring safety is paramount when considering the placement of a fire pit near residential structures. It’s one of the best patio cleaners for tackling black spot and will really help get a clean finish out of a difficult-to-treat patio. When choosing the best patio cleaner, it’s advisable to look for an option that isn’t unnecessarily abrasive.

Because there are some limitations as well as benefits with this type of product, I’ll go into more detail below about how patio magic works so you know if it’s right for your situation: Can you use patio magic on block paving? Having said that, it is highly toxic to plants, so a lot of care needs to be taken to not allow the solution near your plants. So, if you’re planning a big garden spruce up, this multipurpose patio cleaner could be incredibly helpful. Patio Magic offers visible results when it comes to mould, algae and weed removal over a long period – and yes, it’s a good all-around choice.You just mix one part concentrate to five parts water in a garden sprayer and then give your decking or patio a good soak.

I found this cleaner produced good results within a couple of days, and it’s a welcome change that there’s no need to dilute it before use.In fact, I’d recommend wearing protective gear and clothes you don’t really care about – even a small splash of this product will discolour your trousers! One minor criticism is that this patio cleaner isn’t particularly effective when it comes to removing black spot. Unlike Patio Magic, in my tests, I found that this chemical will dissolve the organic matter growing on the patio and in many cases, it got get rid of it in less than an hour. That said, you might need a little scrubbing in really stubborn areas, but you don’t need to worry about it harming natural stone and it slows down black spot regrowth. One bottle will treat up to 300 m², although this does depend on how porous the material being cleaned is.

We never tested on surfaces like decking, but we had great results on patios, driveways and large gravel areas infested with weeds.Once treated, this solution produces an invisible barrier which can help to prevent regrowth for up to 6 months. All you need is some patio magic cleaner and it will effectively remove dirt and grime from your surfaces without scrubbing or rinsing afterward! It comes in a 5 L bottle which is able to make 25 L of solution and cover up to 400 sqm which makes it much better value for money than other cleaners on the market. Patio cleaners can also be very versatile, with some solutions not only able to clean patios but other hard surfaces which also green mould and algae, such as caravans and window frames. Be prepared to take a lot of care when using this product as it contains strong chemicals including chlorine bleach – if used improperly it could cause harm to your eyes, skin, children, pets and garden wildlife.

Using a pressure washer: Make sure your patio is swept clear, and always start with a low setting on the pressure washer. For outdoor surfaces, Patio Magic is perfect for cleaning hardwood decks and siding, pavers, and brick patios. However, while you can use it on everything from asphalt driveways to concrete tennis courts, it’s a cheap and cheerful option. Next scrub with soap and water — it’s important not to let anything dry before moving on because once dried, stains are much more difficult (and sometimes impossible) to remove.

It doesn’t require rinsing off, scrubbing or pressure washing, although if you have lots of moss then you may still need to gently remove it with a brush.
