How Often Should I Clean My Patio?

Your outdoor patio space is the perfect place to spend time with friends and family as the weather gets warmer. However, the outdoors can bring unfortunate messes and dirt, making it challenging to maintain your patio’s cleanliness. These simple outdoor cleaning tips can help make sure your patio is always looking as good as new.

Power Washing

Giving your patio a power wash at the start of the warm weather season will rid it of any dirt, mildew or algae growth and have it looking good as new. That first power wash should keep your patio clean throughout the summer and is best to be repeated each year at the start of the Spring.

Outdoor Furniture

The Fall and Winter can cause a lot of mess on your patio, so make sure you give all of the furniture a good cleaning with soap and water at the start of the Spring season so that it’s ready for the warm weather. Cleaning again at the end of the summer season will help maintain it in the Fall and Winter. Further clean throughout the season if needed.

Outdoor Pillows and Cushions

Clean or throw in any cushions or pillows that fit in the washer at least once every two weeks to clean them of any dirt, spills, bird droppings, and other messes.  Be sure to remove and store them away at the end of the season, too.

Weekly Maintenance

Regularly sweep any dirt or debris off the patio, and wipe off any surfaces with a disinfectant cleaner to keep your patio looking clean and new every time you step outside.
