PATIO CLEANING
Driveways and patios can become dull and dirty by daily wear and use from everyday life, your car wheels carry dust, dirt and oil which overtime can build into a thick layer on your driveway. Spores and weed seeds which travel in the wind are then able to find root and germinate in the cracks across your patio.
Our driveway & Patio cleaning services are vastly more effective at removing weeds and dirt than simple wedding and scrubbing. To ensure the cleaning process is effective, we normally pre-treat the paved area with a low pressure stone or timber wash to destroy fungal spores and break down the moss and dirt. This also has a weed killer added.
Soft washing is a new power washing technique that requires having a combination of bacteria killers and detergents to do the job the Right Way. The SoftWash uses low pressure and kills the bacteria without harming surfaces. Your patio will look like new! Green or black algae will completely vanish from your patio quickly - and the process takes even less time to than a pressure wash.
Overall, SoftWash patio washing also provides the very best outcome, quickest treatment, least damaging and longest lasting effects.
