Patios are meant to be relaxing spaces, but they often become one of the dirtiest areas of a property. Constant exposure to weather, foot traffic, food spills, and moisture causes buildup that slowly changes how the surface looks and feels.
Many homeowners stop using their patio not because it’s outdated — but because it feels dirty, slick, or unsafe.
Professional patio cleaning brings these spaces back to life.
Patio discoloration isn’t just dirt. It’s usually a mix of contaminants, including:
These contaminants bond to porous surfaces and don’t rinse away easily.
Algae and mildew create a thin biofilm on concrete, stone, and pavers. When moisture is present, that film dramatically reduces traction.
Slippery patios increase the risk of:
Professional patio cleaning restores safer footing by removing slick organic growth.
Hosing off a patio removes surface debris but leaves algae, mildew, and residue behind. Scrubbing without treatment often spreads growth instead of eliminating it.
Effective patio cleaning requires:
Without treatment, stains return quickly.
Professional patio cleaning begins with applying surface-safe solutions that break down algae, mildew, and embedded grime.

This restores both appearance and usability.
Excessive pressure can:
