My patio was covered in grime after winter – this one cleaner worked wonders at getting my limestone slabs gleaming again

Patio area with hanging chair and plants.

After a long, wet winter, my patio was looking a tad worse for wear. The slabs had been dulled by months of grime, and dark patches of algae had crept in, and the whole area just felt pretty tired and not at all like the outdoor entertaining space we painstakingly planned when doing our reno.

It's particularly noticeable because this is actually our new patio made from limestone, which we had sealed when it was installed. The stone is a lovely chalky white colour, which I love, but that also means every bit of grime shows up quickly. So we picked up Jeyes 4-in-1 patio and decking cleaner, RRP £16, at Amazon, which is one of the best patio cleaners in our guide, to see how it would fare cleaning limestone slabs and bricks.
