Ryobi Patio Cleaner

[moorx]

Does anyone have one?

Are they any good?

We have a couple of areas of brick path/patio which have become overrun with grass/weeds. I fancy giving the Ryobi Patio Cleaner a try, but OH is not convinced it will work (he is usually a better judge when it comes to these things).

We can't use evil weedkillers because we have pets.

TIA

Looks like a glorified scrubbing brush ?

I use this, works well with just water.

What is 'this' please?

Karcher jet wash attachment. Like you, i don’t like using chemicals.

I recently used wet and forget on a grubby patio. Kept the dog off it for a day. It’s worked fabulously well.

Thanks for the replies.

Despite the title and the product name, the issue isn't 'cleaning' as such, it's removing grass, weeds and moss from between bricks in a path and patio.

Amonium sulphamate for the weeds, then Wet and Forget for the green stains etc

scrubbing brush and fairy liquid mixed works for me, 30 mins to do my patio, about 3*8m

Just to close this off (in case anyone's interested) I didn't buy the Ryobi version. I did, however, buy a corded one (for half the price) and have used it this weekend on the brick paved path in our back garden. So far, I'm impressed.

OP, are you talking about this tool? https://uk.ryobitools.eu/garden-tools/garden-clean...

If so, I have one and it works well to get the moss out between the slabs/bricks. I usually use a Karcher as posted above to clean the paving itself. Note though, that you will need to re-apply sand/paving cement as it will rip most of it out. Also be aware that it chews through battery and will take a while.

I've had some success with thick bleach from asda

In my experience most weeds are back quite quickly after burning, and burning is slow too
