Guide
Thinking about cleaning patio slabs? Well, we have put this step-by-
step guide to  help you keep your home slabs in a good condition.
If you have got Patio covers service in Vancouver, the next thing 
you would want  is to keep those neat and clean. No doubt the 
patios add to the comfort and also  enhance the beauty of the 
home. But if those are not cleaned in a timely, you will  no longer 
be able to enjoy the comfort. Your garden space will stay dirty and 
you  will have to make extra efforts to keep those tidy.
So, if you are also facing the issue of cleaning the patio slab, then 
you are at the  right place.
This guide will give you a step-by-step process to clean the patio 
slabs with soap,  water, bleach, and also with pressure washer.
Let’s get started!
Tools in Need
Before starting the cleaning process, it is 
better to  collect the required tools that 
you may need while  cleaning. Keep the 
very basic things first like:
A bucket
A big hard-bristled 
brush  Warm water
If you want to clean the patio cover with 
soap and  water, keep those handy. Liquid 
or powdered,  whatever is needed. If you 
want to clean it with  bleach, have it by 
your side. The idea is that once  you 
begin the process, you must not run here 
and  there to get things in the middle of 
the cleaning  process. It will not only 
waste your time but also  effort.
Clean Patio Slabs Without Bleach
Here are six simple steps on cleaning patio slabs without 
bleach or a  pressure washer.
Remove Weeds
Weeds will grow from time to time 
especially if  you have not got a chance 
to brush the paving  slabs regularly. If 
there are weeds, remove them  as soon 
as possible. If it is possible to pull up the  
weeds, do it as necessary. If this is not 
possible,  use a weed killer. At the same 
time, read the  manufacturer’s 
instructions carefully while using  the 
weed cutter.
Make Your Own Patio Cleaner
Mix soap and water and make your 
own patio  cleaner. Here are the steps 
to clean your patio  with soapy water.
Firstly, brush the patio with soapy, 
warm water.  You do not need any 
special soap. Just a mild,  gentle soap 
like liquid and water will work fine.  M ix 
both for a few seconds until you see a 
nice  foam forming on the top. Keep 
checking the  contents of your cleaning 
products as some  ingredients may 
damage the paving material.
Pour the Mixture on Patio
In this step, pour the mixture onto the 
affected  patio slabs. You may even 
want to do this in  stages.
Before scrubbing, test your solution on 
a small  area to ensure no damage. 
Also, remember to  wear protective 
gloves to protect your hands.  Once you 
are done scrubbing your paving area,  
use water and rinse it away with soap.
Brush it Off
Take your big hard-bristled brush and start 
 brushing. You can do it with a long broom 
handle if  the brush is small in size.
Keep brushing until the dirt has been 
dislodged.  Do not be afraid of putting in 
some serious efforts.  This will not only 
keep your garden clean but will  also help 
in preventing weeds. If possible, indulge  in 
regular brushing.
Rinse with Water
The next step is to rinse it with clean 
water. Your  patio should look new and 
shiny. If it does not look  new, get back to 
the work and start cleaning again.  If you 
use the pressure washer, set the nozzle so 
 that the water is sprayed right in the fan 
shape  and not in a single jet.
Remember to hold the lance at a 45-
degree angle  from the body. Then wash 
across your joints.
Clean your Patio with Bleach
Follow the below-given steps:
Mix Bleach and Water
Mix the bleach with water in a five-parts. It is best to mix the bleach in a watering 
can. A can gives  you more control than a bucket.
Pour the Mixture on Patio Slabs
Make sure you get even coverage when pouring the mixture. Take care of the 
plants, if there are  any. Do not pour the bleach on them. Be careful.
Brush the slab and leave for 15 mins
In this step, brush the slab. You will see a white foam building up slowly. Once 
you are done, let it  sit for 15 minutes.
Rinse
After 15 minutes, rinse the slab with warm water.
Cleaning a patio slab is not rocket science. But if you get Patio cover service in 
Vancouver, make  sure you seek guidance from the installers.
