May is BBQ Month, and with the weather finally cooperating, it's time to get your patio ready for sun and grilling. Here's some quick tips for cleaning your patio.
For Wood Patios:
- Clean off debris from your deck
- Inspect for damages: loose boards, nails or rough spots.
- Replace boards if necessary
- Replace or fix protruding nails
- Smooth/sand out any rough spots (may need to repaint or restain these spots)
- Use a deck cleaner (available at hardware stores, ask about the best type for your material)
- Wear protection when using the cleaner, and hose off patio with water after 20 minutes
For Concrete Patios:
- Check for weeds that tend to stick out between the concrete cracks
- Sweep the patio with a stiff broom, then scrub the surface with soap and water
- Remove oil-based stains
Enjoy your patio and backyard this spring/summer, happy barbecuing!
