FAQs
Is this product safe for all types of patio materials?
Pro-Kleen Ultimate Patio Cleaner is suitable for most common patio and driveway materials like concrete, stone, and block paving. However, it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with your specific surface.
Do I need to scrub the patio after applying the cleaner?
No, the product is designed to lift dirt and grime effectively without the need for vigorous scrubbing. A rinse with water is typically sufficient to reveal a clean surface.
How much area can one 5-litre bottle cover?
A single 5-litre bottle of Pro-Kleen Ultimate Patio Cleaner can cover up to 25m², thanks to its super concentrated formula.
How should I apply the cleaner?
The cleaner is ready to use and best applied with a pump sprayer for even coverage. Simply pour the solution into the sprayer and distribute it over the patio or driveway.
What should I do if I spill the product?
If you spill the product, clean it up immediately with plenty of water to prevent any potential staining on surrounding surfaces or materials.
Can this product be used on wooden decking?
This product is primarily designed for hard surfaces like patios and driveways. It is not recommended for use on wooden decking unless specifically tested and confirmed safe for that material.
How long should I leave the cleaner on the surface?
Allow the cleaner to dwell on the surface for a sufficient amount of time to work, but do not let it dry. Specific dwell times can vary depending on the level of soiling and weather conditions. Refer to product packaging for precise instructions.
Troubleshooting
Product not cleaning effectively
Ensure the surface is pre-rinsed if heavily soiled. Allow the cleaner to dwell for the recommended time before rinsing. For very stubborn stains, a second application may be necessary.
Uneven cleaning results
This can occur if the product was not applied evenly. Ensure consistent application with the pump sprayer, covering the entire area without oversaturation. Pre-wetting the surface lightly can help with even absorption.
Black spots or lichen remain
These can be particularly stubborn. Allow the product to sit for a longer period (but do not let it dry). A light brushing with a stiff brush may be needed before rinsing for heavily affected areas.
Pump sprayer is clogged
Rinse the pump sprayer thoroughly with clean water after each use. If a clog occurs, disassemble the sprayer according to its manual and clean the nozzle and internal components.
