Porcelain Patio Spring Clean

Porcelain Patio Spring Clean is perfect for use when cleaning existing porcelain patios after the cold wetter months. This product will remove algae, slime, general dirt, leaf staining, lichen & bird droppings.

Use a low pressure pump up sprayer or watering can. Keep the surface visibly wet to allow the product to work. Agitating with a stiff brush is beneficial – rinse off after use.

Dilute the product 1:3 with clean water. You can also apply the cleaner neat to remove heavy contaminations.

This product requires a dwell time of around 15 minutes, keep the porcelain patio tiles wet during this time. The dwell time can be extended to many hours if required. Keep the surface wet by spraying more product over the surface or a very fine mist of water from a hose pipe.

In 95% of cases, this product will remove leaf staining. You may need to apply the product neat if the contamination is severe. The dwell time should be extended to many hours – 12 hours or more. Superficial leaf staining will disappear rapidly.

A 5 litre container will cover approximately 100m2 – diluted at a ratio of 1:3 with clean water.

This product is specifically designed to remove organic contaminations such as algae, slime, leaf staining, lichen & bird droppings & general dirt so it can be successful at removing mud.

But if the mud is deeply ingrained & has a ferrous content our Outdoor Porcelain Tile Cleaner may be more appropriate. It is specifically designed to remove cement, slurry primers, ferrous-rich mud, compost and water bleed stains from the base of plant pots.

Not necessarily, Porcelain Patio Spring Clean is designed to work as a stand-alone cleaner. It can still be beneficial to pressure wash the patio after the cleaning solution has been rinsed away.

We recommend Floorseal Intensive Tile Cleaner for cleaning interior porcelain tiles.

The reason porcelain tiles are difficult to clean when fitted outside is because they have an anti-slip texture which attracts & holds dirt. They might be a very pale colour i.e white or cream so they show dirt easily.

Exterior porcelain tiles are actually slightly porous as they have micro-pores which absorb staining such as mud & leaf staining.

Pressure washing can be successful but a cleaning fluid is often required.

Yes, you could use one of our sealing products such as Porcelain Tile Sealer for Patios or Porcelain Tile Eco Seal. Porcelain Tile Eco Seal is the easiest product to seal porcelain patios (or indoor tiles) with.
