Summer is the perfect time to spend time outdoors, enjoying our terrace. However, dust, dirt, and pollen can make the terrace look unkempt.
Here are 6 helpful tips for washing it efficiently and keeping it clean throughout the summer:
Prepare your work area: Remove furniture from the terrace and move plants to another location. Cover surrounding areas, such as house walls or fences, with plastic sheeting to protect them from splashes.
Choose the right cleaning products: There are a variety of cleaning products available for terraces, from universal detergents to products specific to certain types of materials (wood, stone, tiles, etc.). Read the instructions on the label carefully and choose the product suitable for the type of terrace you have.
Wash thoroughly: Start by sweeping or vacuuming the terrace to remove dust and leaves. Then dilute the detergent according to the instructions and apply it to the terrace with a brush or mop. Scrub dirty areas well and let the detergent sit for a few minutes.
Rinse thoroughly: Rinse abundantly with cold water to remove all detergent. You can use a hose with a strong jet or a bucket of water. Make sure there are no detergent residues left on the terrace, as they can damage the material.
