Ryobi RY18PCA-0 ONE+ Patio Cleaner with Wire Brush (Bare Tool), 18 V

Product Information

Pro-Kleen Simply Spray patio cleaner is described as a non-acidic, bleach-free cleaner designed for removing algae and moss from patios and other outdoor surfaces. It’s concentrated, so it needs to be diluted with water, but that means that one bottle can make 25 litres of solution enough to cover 200m² which makes it a great value patio cleaner for large areas. It’s also suitable for any hard surface, including patios, paths, tarmac, glass, roofing felt, PVC, terracotta, and even caravans. Jeyes claim it takes up to three days before you start seeing results but I saw a difference in the colour of the area that was treated once it had dried, which was approximately five hours. I did apply this product around three times before all the moss and algae were gone but considering it didn’t require any manual labour, I was more than happy with that result. For softer surfaces (e.g. sandstone or tile), then you'll require the nylon brush wheel (RAC818) - sold separately. The tool is easy to operate thanks to the telescoping height adjustment feature and a rubber overmould grip. All you need to do is glide the Ryobi RY18PCB-0 ONE+ across the surface and the tool will remove weeds, dirt, and moss. Unlike the Hyundai option, this model is powered by an 18V rechargeable battery. Made with a hard-bristled roller brush, the Ryobi patio cleaner works great but is more suitable for smaller areas. The 18V patio cleaner is also a great alternative to a pressure washer as this tool will not cause damage to the mortar or lift the paving slabs, which is often an unintended result of pressure washing applications.

The hardwearing bristles that make up the brush on the Yard Force LW CPC1 20v Cordless Patio Cleaner will easily shift stubborn, caked-on detritus, but, if the going gets particularly tough, you can give the brush a helping-hand by attaching your hosepipe to the provided connection point. WIRE BRISTLES & SCRAPER: The 3-row wire bristles on this brush are made from strong and sturdy metal wire, so it will stand up to the most demanding of jobs. With its V-Blade scraping tool, you can loosen stubborn build-up, and then use the brush to finish the job A telescopic shaft and the adjustable auxiliary handle provide maximum comfort for users of any height. To adjust the patio cleaner’s length, simply release the latch and slide the handle shaft up or down to cater for the correct height. By untightening the rotary knob, the angle of the auxiliary handle can be fine-tuned to fit any preference and provide the optimum grip and posture when completing the cleaning job. Although the ready-to-use formula means there’s no preparation involved, it isn’t without elbow grease as you do have to scrub after application. First the area has to be cleared of any large debris, then the cleaner applied and left to soak in for 30 minutes, before giving it a good scrub with a brush. Then the next step is to rinse the cleaner away. WIRE BRISTLES & V-BLADE SCRAPER: The 3 row wire bristles on this brush are made from strong and sturdy metal wire, so it will stand up to the most demanding of jobs. With its V-Blade scraping tool, you can loosen stubborn build-up, and then use the brush to finish the job

In times like this, the best option is usually to invest in an outdoor floor cleaning solution like this fine selection of products we review below.

Thanks to the accessories available for the patio cleaner, you can select the best brush for your application. A compact 20cm working-width means you’ll be able to access those awkward nooks and crannies; a machine-weight of just 2.7kg works with an adjustable front handle to ensure you’ll get the job done with little effort expended. When your area is fully saturated with the product, that’s it, you don’t need to do anything else, you can just leave it. You can actually hear this product working. It’s not ideal for pet owners or those concerned about wildlife, as the instructions say the area has to completely dry before animals can walk on it, and even then it’s recommended that paws are washed to avoid your pet ingesting any due to the toxic chemicals used in the solution. Renovation Bay-Bee: "We've got a few of Ryobi cordless range products and we absolutely love them.

So they can do their driveway and not have to worry about any of those issues.Thirdly, you can invest in one of the best pressure washers on the market to hose down your dirty paving slabs and driveway.

The downside is that a pressure washer uses a lot of water, and makes a lot of noise whilst in operation. How do you clean a dirty patio without a pressure washer? Not usually. You will often have to wait a few hours before seeing any difference, and in many cases the effects will seem small at first, but the area will look much cleaner after a few days. Patience is key.

Weed brushes that run on petrol are more powerful and designed for cleaning large areas. However, they are less convenient than electric models when it comes to smaller projects or less frequent usage. In this case, electric weed brushes are a better choice for many reasons. They are more portable, easier to manoeuvre, require little to no maintenance, and are less noisy. Best Weed Brushes Compared Tools are another thing that should be considered. Patio cleaner is typically applied either by pouring the solution direct on to the area or by using a garden sprayer. Garden sprayers work by using a pump to create pressure, which forces the liquid out of the sprayer through a nozzle. The type of nozzle you use will determine the type of spray you get. Often by using a garden sprayer you can get a more even coating of your chosen patio cleaner which will of course, produce better results. On testing, this was actually a fun patio cleaner to work with. There’s no dilution or pre-mixing required, you just attach a hose pipe, turn the nozzle to on and get spraying. The spray is pretty fierce, so make sure you’re prepared when you turn the hosepipe on because I ended up covering an area way bigger than I intended to. But it’s easy to use, the bottle is a good ergonomic shape so it feels comfortable to hold and direct. The nozzle also means you can accurately reach the area you want to cover and as it can reach up to 8 metres it was perfect for roof areas as well as the patio.If you are looking for something more portable, there is a great product for you — the innovative Ryobi RY18PCB-0 ONE+ Patio Cleaner.

Always read the label carefully, especially if you're using the outdoor cleaning solution around children or pets. If you have allergies or respiratory issues, then choose a patio cleaner that is labelled as hypoallergenic or non-toxic, and always wear a mask and gloves when applying toxic patio cleaners. How easy is the patio cleaner to use? The RAC823 artificial turf brush can be used to clean artificial grass or astro turf for simple upkeep all year round.
