We bought our current home in 2009. It has a bluestone patio that is probably at least 20 years old and looks dirty. I sweep, I hose it off, but that just doesn't seem to work.
I want to avoid using a power washer, as the grouting is old, and sometimes comes up when I use the hose. And I don't want to kill any of the plants surrounding the patio.
Most info shows to sweep, use leaf blower and blow all debris off then hose off and scrub using 1 part bleach to 10 parts water and then make sure you use sealer to keep it looking good
