Instead of patio cleaner...

My path round the back of the house over winter got green and slimy something to do with all the rain we had. Anyway it needed cleaning. Bought some stuff to do it with - not jeyes fluid - some other stuff that was supposed to be better. Well it didnt work. Was talking to my next door neighbour and she said try washing powder .... wet the path first - sprinkle it on, scrub with the brush and then rinse it off with the hosepipe. It works... it looks a lot better than what it did before.

The easiest and besy way is by using a power washer.
I had one but gave it away when I moved and no longer have a garden.
I think they can be hired.

Cutting some of the greenery back helps, as a lot of it is caused by sap, shelter, and lack of sunshine.
