PatioKleen is an excellent sandstone patio cleaner for combating the effects of the British weather and damp climate on your patio where the lovely look of a new sandstone patio has quickly darkened with what looks like dirt – and often is – or else black or green algae embedded on the surface.

Sandstone Patio Cleaner

Hard to shift, this disappointing coating can however be treated with PatioKleen very effectively and because of this remarkable product will tend to resist being darkened again.

A Powerful Yet Eco-Friendly Patio Cleaner

This sandstone patio cleaner is an effective and highly innovative cleaning chemical which is non-hazardous and non-toxic and is certified as food safe and needs no PPE when in normal use.

If you are wanting an environmentally friendly sandstone patio cleaner, then this is a great product for you – apply with a low-pressure sprayer, roller (paint roller) or brush and scrub thoroughly with a stiff broom before leaving for half an hour or so for the cleaning to take place.

A pressure washer – used carefully with a rotary patio cleaner attachment and hood – helps with stubborn dirt and to wash away loose dirt from sandstone; take care to avoid blowing out the kiln-dried sand between blocks on block paving patios or driveways.

Caring for the environment is very important and this pH-neutral sandstone patio cleaner contains no biocides or bleach and no strong acids or alkalis making it a truly remarkably safe and pleasant product to use without damage to you, pets, grass, flowers or ponds.

How Does It Work?

This water-based sandstone patio cleaner chemical uses nanotechnology and penetrates deeply and loosens off algae, dirt and stains by breaking the surface tension on the Indian sandstone – thus our expression ‘Cleans Not Kills’ because – unlike biocides – it does not kill anything but dislodges the dirt for rinsing.

Sandstone Patio Cleaner

Biocides are almost universal in patio and masonry cleaner chemicals but there are none in PatioKleen hence it is harmless for plants, pets, cleaning staff, lawns, window boxes, aquatic life and the environment in general.

The nano-energy packages in the chemical can be compared to piranhas in the River Amazon that attack and tear dirt away like piranhas would feed by tearing meat off the bones of their prey. Patios treated with PatioKleen stay algae-free for longer and in our tests, sandstone absorbs rain water in a more natural way after cleaning that is almost like ‘breathing’.

How To Apply PatioKleen

Firstly, sweep the patio, path, or driveway carefully to remove loose debris and leaves. If it is a hot day, then we suggest that you hose down and wet the area first – then apply the cleaner by pouring straight from the jerrycan onto a manageable area – perhaps 2 or 3 square metres and brush in vigorously with a stiff broom.

PatioKleen is a great pre-wash cleaner chemical for pressure washers achieving a better result quicker and with less effort – pressure wash off the area to be cleaned so as to rinse and brush away the dirt thoroughly.

It is important also to rinse the area so that dirt is carried away – this can be with a pressure washer or a garden hose. PatioKleen sandstone patio cleaner can be sprayed very effectively but please ensure a generous quantity is in contact with the sandstone patio or driveway that is to be cleaned and that this is both brushed vigorously and rinsed off with generous quantity of water.

Sandstone Patio Cleaner



 

Our eco-friendly block paving cleaner gets rid of algae and dirt in an environmentally friendly way without too much back-breaking labour and that also reduces rates of re-infestation by algae due to superior penetration to the surface. Keeping monoblock paving looking presentable is challenging with typical issues deriving from our damp British climate where the rainfall makes conditions for algae, moss, and lichens to grow and thrive.

Block Paving Cleaner

How This Block Paving Cleaner Works:

With our block paving cleaner, the process of cleaning is by getting underneath the algae and dirt and loosening it off for removal instead of killing it and this unique feature makes it a great product!

Most brands of exterior stone cleaner chemicals use biocides (disinfectants like DDAC) in various types to kill the green growth. In some cases they are biodegradable but toxic to aquatic life and in some cases to pets. If you are concerned about the environmental impact of your activities, you’ll think twice before you use them.

With the PatioKleen block paving cleaner there are absolutely no biocides and it is:

  1. Certified as food safe.
  2. Non-toxic and non-hazardous – contains no caustic acids.
  3. Contains no biocides or disinfectants.
  4. Uses no bleach or sodium hypochlorite.
  5. Slows regrowth of algae.
  6. Made in the UK.
  7. Needs minimal or no PPE.

You won’t want to use traditional brick cleaner acid on your block paving either – although powerful and cheap it will likely ruin or discolour the blocks.

eco friendly Block Paving Cleaner

How To Apply:

The application can be by sprayer or a watering can, sponge, paint roller or poured on. Scrub in the block paving cleaner with a stiff brush and leave for a couple of minutes before rinsing off with a good quantity of water from a garden hose or similar.

PatioKleen is effective, safe, and biodegradable and is supplied in 5-litre or 2-litre jerrycans ready to use.

Our eco-friendly DeckKleen chemical is an effective algae cleaner for decking that works by a different process to most decking cleaner chemicals with nano energy packages which break the surface tension to dislodge algae from both wooden as well as composite and Millboard decking. Cutting the risk of slips and trips is important as well as reviving the look of your terrace and decking.

Algae Cleaner For Decking

It works to remove unwanted dirt and algae from wood and composite decking instead of killing it and the resulting surface has better grip and typically stays cleaner for longer than if treated with biocide-based cleaners. It works by a different process to most algae cleaners for decking chemicals with nano energy packages which break the surface tension and dislodge soiling leaving a surface which stays cleaner for longer.

BoatKleen is one of the most effective eco-friendly boat hull cleaner chemicals on the market and is increasingly popular with boat owners who want to look after their boats, reduce effort and care for the marine environment.

A great value for money and marine-safe detergent that is ideal for tugs, yachts, and narrow boats looking to remove biofouling or dirt.

Boat Hull Cleaner

Used by boat clubs or boat owners for a biofouling management plan and boat building yards as a hard surface, granite, and boat hull cleaner to remove dirt and bird lime, at marinas and by harbour masters to remove marine algae from slipways and steps and inhibit regrowth.

BoatKleen anti-fouling cleaner will lengthen the time needed between bilge and hull cleans, in some cases by a factor of ten. You can read useful guidance on the use of slipway cleaning chemicals on the GOV.UK website.

How BoatKleen Works:

Our environmentally friendly boat hull cleaner chemical works differently to most boat cleaning chemicals some of which are harmful to marine life and marine pollutants like bleach and sodium hypochlorite.

BoatKleen utilises advanced nanotechnology energy packages within the non-toxic, non-acidic and non-biocide chemical that penetrate deeply, break the surface tension and lift off algae, stains and dirt from the boat hull, seats or non-slip deck leaving a clean surface that is proven to last this way for longer.

Boat Hull Cleaner

You could think of these nano-energy packages as being like piranhas in the River Amazon milling around and waiting to attack and tear dirt away like these remarkable fish would feed by tearing meat off bones of their prey. Evaluated by the Environment Agency in its concentrated form, this is one of the only algae cleaners that is safe for marine life and humans and requires no PPE in normal use.

A combination of effective cleaning power and great eco credentials make BoatKleen perfect for all year round use.
