Product Information
Full details
The Homefront Patio Cleaner is designed for homeowners seeking a safe, eco-conscious solution to restore outdoor surfaces without harsh chemicals. This organic formula is ideal for families with pets, as it deep-cleans driveways, patios, and stone structures without the use of bleach, though it requires a manual mixing and application process which may take more time than ready-to-use abrasive detergents.

FAQs
Is this product safe for my dog to walk on after I clean?
Yes, the formula is organic and chemical-free, making it safe for pets once applied and dried.
Can I use this on delicate natural stone?
Yes, because the formula contains no bleach, it is generally safe for natural stone surfaces.
Does the cleaner need to be rinsed off?
It is recommended to rinse the area with clean water after the solution has had time to work to ensure no residue remains.
Can I use this in a pressure washer?
While it is designed for pump sprayers or watering cans, it can be used in pressure washers that have a chemical injection setting, provided you follow the 1:3 ratio.
Will this remove rust stains?
This cleaner is primarily designed for organic dirt, algae, and grime, and may not be effective against deep-set mineral rust stains.
Troubleshooting
Solution is not removing heavy moss or buildup.
Ensure the dilution ratio is correct. For stubborn areas, apply a slightly more concentrated mix and allow it to soak for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing.
Streaking occurs on the patio surface after drying.
This is often caused by uneven application or incomplete rinsing. Use a fan-spray nozzle on your pump sprayer for more even coverage and rinse the area thoroughly with clean water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the solution, always use a clean container or the reservoir of your pump sprayer. Measure 1 part Homefront cleaner to 3 parts water and stir gently to combine. When applying, ensure the surface is clear of loose debris or large leaves to maximize the effectiveness of the solution. If using a watering can for application, ensure a uniform pour to avoid streaking on sensitive stone. Store the remaining concentrate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after every use to maintain formula stability.
