Bleaching Patio.

Post by applepicker »

I used this stuff in photo. Used for pools normally. But it dripped down sides of patio and doesn't look good, how do I clean that up?

Pour more of it down there to make it all look the same.
As it is bleach, it has done what bleach does, so anything you "add" will not work as it will be bleached, so if you pour more over the edge you will make it all look the same, either that, or you replace all the discoloured bricks.
Above are my opinions Below is my signature.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.

Yeah think you're right. I tried pressure washing it and it looked better but there are still some marks. I just find it's difficult to pour this stuff and keep it on a surface which is vertical. The stuff just doesn't stay and isn't easy to spread over all the marks.

Put it into a sprayer then you can spray a thin even layer over the surfaces, repeat regularly on a dry but cool and overcast day.
