Jet, set and go with your dirty old patio

My patio is a right mess. The flagstones are all stained and dirty after winter. What’s the best way to spruce them up? – Jan, via email DAVID: Try scrubbing with a brush – but you will get the best result from a jet washer. Jet washers can be hired relatively inexpensively or you can buy them quite cheaply as well. I’d advise using Jeyes Fluid Outdoor Disinfectant – it is ideal for outdoor cleaning. Brush the cleaner in, then jet-wash clean. You will be amazed at the difference.
