Patio Steam Cleaning
Low-pressure patio steam cleaning is the ultimate solution for both natural and artificial stone patios. It delivers an exceptionally effective yet gentle cleaning method, making it ideal for delicate surfaces. Unlike high-pressure washing, steam cleaning utilizes super-heated water at very low pressure to thoroughly clean your patio without risking any damage to the stone.
This approach not only effectively removes stubborn dirt but is also gentle on your patio. It targets organic growth such as algae and black lichen, while also helping to sterilize the surface, ensuring it stays cleaner for longer. By reducing the frequency of cleanings, steam cleaning lowers the long-term cost of maintenance.
Eco-friendly and safe, steam cleaning restores your patio’s natural beauty without compromising its integrity. It’s the perfect choice for those looking to maintain a pristine patio without the risks associated with high-pressure washing.
All of our patio cleaning services are backed by a guarantee of a spotless finish and full color restoration. Contact us today for more details and a free, no-obligation quote!

Over time, patios accumulate dirt, moss, algae, lichen, and other organic growth, which can make the surface slippery, unsightly, and potentially cause long-term damage. Having your patio cleaned by Feel the pressure UK will not only restore the patio's appearance but also helps maintain its condition by preventing wear and deterioration.
How long does patio cleaning take?+
The duration of a patio cleaning process all depends on the size of the patio, the type of surface your cleaning, and the amount of contamination. On average, a patio cleaning service can take a few hours to a full day. After an inspection by our team we can provide you with a more accurate time estimate for your individual service.

However, if one isn’t available, all of our customized vans are equipped with 400-litre tanks, allowing us to perform up to 60 minutes of professional patio steam cleaning and 20 minutes of high-pressure jet washing.
We also carry a wide range of special adapters to fit most internal water taps. If you’re concerned about water access, it’s best to reach out to our team directly and share your situation. We’re confident we can find a solution to ensure your patio gets thoroughly cleaned.
What are patio black spots?+
Lichen, also known as patio black spot, is a common type of biological growth that often infests patios and driveways in the UK. It spreads due to contamination from nearby vegetation, including plants, trees, and grass. The more plants and trees surrounding your patio, the higher the chance of an infestation. Areas closer to plants or grass are typically more affected. This is simply a natural process.
Patio black spots begin as tiny, dust-like spores found on the underside of leaves and other vegetation. When leaves fall onto your patio, cross-contamination begins. Once the black spots start to grow, they rapidly expand, becoming increasingly unsightly. Without the proper patio cleaning equipment, such as steam cleaning tools, these stubborn black spots can become a challenge to remove, even for professional cleaning companies. At Feel the pressure UK we guarantee a 100% patio black spot removal for all surface types.
Can the black spots on patios be removed?+
Patio black spots and algae are effectively eliminated when exposed to temperatures of 120° and above. Our professional patio steam cleaning systems reach temperatures of 150°, ensuring that the black spots are not only killed but also removed from the surface.
While the lichen may be eradicated, some stones might experience slight discolouration, especially if organic matter has been left on the surface for an extended period. To address this, our team applies a specially formulated, fast-acting patio cleaning solution that lifts the discolouration and restores the stone’s natural colour. This treatment is particularly beneficial for natural stone patios and is included at no extra charge.
With guaranteed spotless finishes and complete colour restoration for all surface types, Feel the Pressure UK is one of the leading professional patio cleaning companies in your area, ensuring customer satisfaction with every clean.

How often should I clean my patio?+
The frequency of patio cleaning depends on environmental factors such as weather conditions and surrounding vegetation. Generally, cleaning your patio once a year is enough to maintain its condition, though high-traffic or shaded areas may need more frequent attention.
