Patio Cleaning
Professional Patio Cleaning
Professional patio cleaning from MK Cleaning Services & Property Maintenance, helping homeowners, landlords and businesses restore patios and paved outdoor areas affected by moss, algae, dirt, staining and general weathering. We clean a range of suitable surfaces including block paving, concrete slabs, Indian sandstone and natural stone, using appropriate cleaning methods based on the condition and type of patio.
A dirty or moss-covered patio can become slippery, discoloured and difficult to keep looking its best, particularly after prolonged exposure to Scotland’s wet and changeable weather. Our patio cleaning service is designed to remove surface contamination and restore a cleaner, fresher appearance while taking care around surrounding walls, doors, garden areas and other features.
Whether you need a one-off patio clean, want to improve the appearance of your garden before selling or letting a property, or require regular exterior maintenance, we can assess the patio and recommend a suitable cleaning approach.

Our Patio Cleaning Process
Inspect the Patio
We begin by inspecting the patio to assess its condition, identify the type of surface and check for moss, algae, weeds, staining, dirt and other contamination.
Identify the Patio Surface Type
Different patio materials can require different cleaning approaches. We consider whether the surface is block paving, concrete, natural stone, Indian sandstone, resin or another suitable outdoor surface before selecting the cleaning method.
Remove Loose Dirt & Debris
Loose dirt, leaves, weeds, moss and surface debris are removed where appropriate before the main cleaning process begins.
Apply a Suitable Cleaning Solution
Where required, a suitable cleaning solution can be applied to help break down organic contamination such as algae, moss and mould.
Clean the Patio
The patio is cleaned using an appropriate combination of pressure washing, softwashing or other suitable techniques, taking care around walls, doors, garden features, drainage points and surrounding areas.
Final Inspection
Once cleaning is complete, the patio is inspected to check the results, and joints can be repointed where required and appropriate. The surrounding area is then left tidy.
Looking For Patio Cleaners
We provide patio cleaning for residential and commercial properties helping restore outdoor surfaces affected by moss, algae, dirt, weeds and weather staining.
For homeowners, professional patio cleaning can help restore the appearance of tired, slippery or heavily weathered patios and make outdoor areas more enjoyable to use.
For landlords and property managers, patio cleaning can form part of planned exterior property maintenance and help keep gardens, patios and communal outdoor areas presentable.
Commercial properties can also benefit from patio cleaning where outdoor seating areas, paths, courtyards or other paved surfaces have become affected by dirt, algae, moss or general weathering.
Common Problems With A Dirty Patio
Patios can become dirty and discoloured over time due to moisture, shade, changing weather conditions, foot traffic and general outdoor exposure.
Common patio problems include:

How Do I Know If My Patio Needs Cleaned
Patios are exposed to rain, moisture, changing temperatures and organic growth throughout the year. Over time, dirt, moss, algae and staining can build up and leave the surface looking tired or becoming slippery underfoot.

Green Algae
Green algae can develop on patios, particularly in shaded or damp areas where the surface receives limited sunlight.
Moss & Organic Growth
Moss can spread across patio slabs and joints, particularly where moisture remains on the surface for long periods.
Black Staining
Dark staining can develop from atmospheric contamination, organic growth and general weathering.
Dirt & Grime
Everyday dirt, mud and airborne debris can gradually build up and make patio surfaces appear dull and discoloured.
Weeds & Organic Growth
Weeds and other organic growth can develop between paving joints and around the edges of patio areas.
Slippery Surfaces
Moss, algae and organic contamination can make some patios slippery, particularly when wet.

Patio Cleaning Methods Available
Patios that were originally clean and bright can become darker, stained and discoloured over time due to moss, algae, dirt, weathering and organic growth.
Patio Pressure Washing
Pressure washing can be used on suitable patio surfaces to remove accumulated dirt, algae, moss and general surface contamination. The pressure and equipment used will depend on the type and condition of the patio.
Patio Cleaning by Softwashing
Softwashing uses suitable cleaning solutions to help break down organic contamination such as algae, moss and other organic growth. This can be useful where a gentler cleaning approach is more appropriate.
Patio Cleaning by Steam Cleaning
Steam cleaning can be considered for suitable exterior surfaces where controlled heat and lower-pressure cleaning are appropriate. The method used will depend on the type, condition and contamination of the patio.
