Quick answer
To clean a patio with a super jet washer, attach it to your garden hose, select the right nozzle for the job, and spray in a sweeping motion from a consistent distance to avoid damaging the surface.
Why a super jet washer works for patios
A super jet washer boosts the water pressure from your garden tap, creating a fine, hard spray that dislodges dirt, moss, and algae from patio slabs and paving. Unlike a standard hose nozzle, it concentrates the flow so you can clean effectively without needing a motorized pressure washer.
The Super Jet Washer comes with two interchangeable nozzles: a pinpoint blast for stubborn stains and a wide fan spray for larger areas. This flexibility makes it suitable for cleaning patios, driveways, and even delicate surfaces like windows when used carefully.
Trade-offs to consider
While a super jet washer is powerful, it relies on your home water pressure. If your tap pressure is low, the cleaning force will be weaker. Also, the fine spray can cause splashback, so wear old clothes or waterproofs. For very large patios, you might prefer a motorized pressure washer, but for most homes, this tool is more than adequate.
Step-by-step patio cleaning guide
- 1. Attach the super jet washer to your hose: Screw the Super Jet Washer onto the end of your garden hose. Ensure the connection is tight to avoid leaks. Then turn on the tap fully. Check for leaks at the connection before you start spraying.
- 2. Choose the right nozzle: For general patio cleaning, use the wide fan spray nozzle. Switch to the pinpoint nozzle for stubborn stains like bird droppings or dried mud. The Super Jet Washer's nozzles are easily interchangeable. Always start with the fan spray to avoid etching softer stone or concrete.
- 3. Hold the wand at the correct distance: Hold the wand about 6–12 inches (15–30 cm) from the surface. Move it in a slow, sweeping motion. Too close, and you risk damaging the surface; too far, and you lose cleaning power. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first to gauge the correct distance.
- 4. Work in sections: Divide the patio into manageable sections (e.g., 3x3 feet). Spray each section systematically, overlapping slightly to avoid streaks. Rinse the area with plain water from the hose if needed. Don't let the cleaning solution (if used) dry on the surface—rinse promptly.
- 5. Clean the tool after use: Turn off the tap, disconnect the Super Jet Washer, and rinse it with clean water. Store it in a dry place to prevent mineral buildup in the nozzles. Run clean water through the wand after each use to flush out debris.
