Amazon shoppers are snapping up this £7.49 Patio Magic cleaner that removes patio grime without needing a pressure washer
Pressure washing a patio is a very effective way of blasting away the winter grime, and restoring your slabs back to their true colour ahead of the spring and summer - but there is a quicker way.
It's a chemical-based solution to the annual chore, and it's actually more effective in the long run - because pressure washing can encourage algae growth, while chemicals can prevent it from forming.
This Patio Magic formula has rave reviews on Amazon, and there's a healthy discount at the moment - knocking 25% off the price of a 2.5-litre bottle.
If you can catch the limited-time deal, you can grab one for £7.49 instead of the usual £9.99 - and that's actually cheaper per litre than stocking up on the five-litre bottle, which is £34.99. And a 2.5-litre bottle should cover up to 85 square metres anyway, so it's enough for most patios and driveways.
Amazon says the biodegradable chemical is also useful for fencing, furniture, walls, and other hard surfaces - but it's not pet safe, so you do have to be careful about when you apply it. The advice is to wait until it's completely dry before letting pets out.

Visible effects are said to appear in two to four days, and it can take a few months for lichen to completely disappear, but most customers have been really impressed with the results.
To dilute and apply the chemical, you can just use a watering can - but make sure it's thoroughly cleaned out before using it again on your plants, because it will kill them.
The alternative is to invest in a pressure sprayer - we've found a five-litre one for £10.99, and it's ideal for keeping the chemical separate from your plant water, and ensuring a clean, targeted spray.
