Hi all

I was about to jet my patio but the pressure washer broke. Is there
another way of ridding this stuff without jetting; and preferably
the less labour intensive methods please?



Diluted bleach and a broom?


Yup, works a treat. Bottle of cheap Tesco bleach in a bucket of water & a
stiff broom. Patio will smell like a toilet for a day, watch the run off
onto grass/plants though.



and you may be glad. Pressure washing stone often leaves it more
susceptible to algae in future as it leaves a rough surface that they
like.
