Has anyone come across, or even tried a patio cleaner called Hero? It
comes in a sprayer and cost me, I think, £3.99. It says just spray it
on and leave to dry. Hey presto, cleaned slabs.
No way.
It is quite useless. I've tried it on 2 slabs and challenge anyone
to tell which ones they are. One has had 2 applications, the other 3.
I'll be on the money-back trail next week.

I've not read the small print. A friend read out the instructions, as
my eyes don't do small print easily.

It seems to be ok at killing the green slimy stuff (which then becomes
grey-black dirty stuff until it's washed off) but it's definitely not
a "cleaner". I read one review that says "Advantages: Not sure . . .
easy to use??? ! Disadvantages: Doesn't appear to work."

I get better results without chemicals with a pressure washer!


I will endorse that last statement ;-)

Tried the KleeneZe Patio Cleaner too :-( KleenZe stuff is usually quite
good, but even with a 'soak and leave' application, it was the pressure
washer which did the job in the end :-))
