There is no requirement to pressure wash but you can use this cleaning product alongside pressure washing, or as part of the process. This may be by lightly washing the product off the tiles with the pressure washer. Or to lightly pressure wash the area before applying the Porcelain Patio Spring Clean
We do not recommend feeding the product through the pressure washer as a solution additive. This will negate the effect of the dwell time, which is important, when using this type of cleaning product.
Dwell time is a useful tool when using this kind of porcelain patio cleaner. The longer the product is wet on the surface the better it works! In most cases a short dwell time will be sufficient, up to 15 minutes. You can also generally agitate the solution with a stiff brush which aids the cleaning process. Adding more product to the tiles, to keep them wet, will extend your dwell time for as long as is required to remove algae & lichen etc.

If you are treating leaf severe staining we recommend applying undiluted using a very long dwell time, this could be many hours.
Any type of exterior porcelain tile.
A minimum of 5m2 per litre (after the product is diluted at 1:3). This is a general guide, typically this product will cover a much greater area than this. We have also known this product be effective at a dilution rate of as little as 1:10. The coverage rate can increase dramatically depending on the type of tile & dilution rate.
A 5 litre container will cover at least 100m2 of tiling when diluted at 1:3 with water.
This is is a question commonly asked when using any kind of patio cleaner!
When used correctly, with care, there is no issue. Most patios are adjacent to grass or plant beds, we expect you to be working near plants or lawns. The product is biodegradable and is neutralised by rinsing with water.
Artificial grass is not affected by any of our cleaning agents.
Our top tip is to dampen the edges of lawns or plant beds with water prior to cleaning. Once the process is finished you should liberally rinse off the (treated) area with clean water. The product is biodegradable and importantly is not specifically a weed killer. It is the method of use – using dwell time etc which makes the product work, neutralisation of the product occurs via the rinsing process.
