The concrete and pavers vary at each community. The frequency for maintaining these areas must be determined on an individual basis.

Remove all debris and clear the patio furniture into a position where you can easily access it once you are finished.

If the stain or soil is heavy, pre-spray the area using diluted Lightning Plus in a pump sprayer. Allow the degreaser to sit for at least 5 minutes, but do not let the solution dry.

With the vacuum turned off, scrub the surface, and then turn the vacuum back on and continue scrubbing while vacuuming the soiled water.
