5 Reasons Your Patio Gets Dirty and How to Fix It
Your patio is the heart of your outdoor space—a place to relax, entertain, and enjoy the fresh air. But over time, dirt, algae, and other grime can take over, making it less appealing. Don’t worry! Understanding why your patio gets dirty and how to fix it will have it looking as good as new in no time.
Here’s a closer look at the top five reasons your patio gets dirty and, most importantly, how to clean it effortlessly with Shark Instant Clean.
1. Dirt and Dust Build-Up from the Environment
Patios are constantly exposed to the elements, and dirt, dust, and debris from the environment naturally accumulate over time. Wind carries fine particles of soil, pollen, and other pollutants that settle on your paving, creating a dull, dusty appearance.
How to Fix It:
Regular sweeping is your first line of defense, but for a thorough clean, use Shark Instant Clean. Its powerful formula penetrates dirt and debris, breaking it down quickly so you can simply rinse it away. You’ll see results in minutes—no scrubbing required!
2. Algae Growth in Damp and Shaded Areas
The UK’s damp climate provides the perfect conditions for algae growth, especially on patios located in shaded or poorly drained areas. Algae not only looks unsightly but can also create a slippery surface, making your patio a safety hazard.
How to Fix It:
Spray Shark Instant Clean onto affected areas and let it work its magic. The formula is specially designed to tackle algae, breaking it down at the root for a long-lasting clean. Plus, regular application can help prevent regrowth.
3. Moss and Weeds Growing Between Paving Stones
Moss and weeds love the cracks and crevices in your paving stones. They thrive in areas with moisture and sunlight, quickly spreading and ruining your patio’s appearance.
How to Fix It:
To remove moss and weeds, pair Shark Weed Kill Pro with Shark Instant Clean for a one-two punch. The weed killer targets weeds at the root, while Instant Clean tackles moss and grime, leaving your patio spotless and weed-free.
4. Black Spots from Lichen
Those stubborn black marks on your patio? They’re likely caused by lichen, a combination of algae and fungi that embeds itself into porous paving materials like sandstone and concrete. These spots are notoriously hard to remove with traditional cleaning methods.
How to Fix It:
Shark Instant Clean is the ultimate black spot remover. Its powerful formula penetrates deep into the pores of your paving to lift and eliminate black spots, restoring your patio’s natural color and finish.
5. Organic Debris: Leaves, Pollen, and Bird Droppings
Fallen leaves, pollen, and even bird droppings can stain your patio over time, especially if they’re left to decompose. Not only do they look unsightly, but they can also attract pests and create unpleasant odors.
How to Fix It:
Keep your patio clear of debris with regular sweeping and hosing down. For stubborn organic matter, Shark Instant Clean makes the job easy, breaking down residue quickly and leaving your patio fresh and clean.
