Essential Outdoor Cleaning Tips

• Regular Sweeping: Yes I know, state the absolute obvious! But believe me, it's a crucial step in keeping your outdoor spaces clean. Take just a few minutes each week to sweep away leaves, dirt, and other debris.

• Power Washing: Ok, ok, I'm obviously going to say this, but a pressure washer is a game-changer when it comes to cleaning outdoor surfaces. It can blast away dirt, grime, and mould with ease. Just be careful not to use too much pressure, especially on delicate surfaces like wood.

• Cleaning Solutions: The right cleaning solution can make a big difference. For general cleaning, a mild detergent and water should do the trick. For tougher stains, you may need a stronger cleaner. We would be happy to advise here - trust me, we have plenty of experience!
