Patio cleaning

[Tilly2]

We have just spent the afternoon weeding the patio and blasting it and all the furniture withe the Karcher.

I have said to my husband that we now need to brush some sort of sand into the cracks but we don't know what sort of sand. We have a bag of sharp sand. Will that do, or does it have to be a special kind?

Kiln dried sand Tilly ( thats what they use with block paving ).

[tonyav]

Sorry Tilly, if your patio is slabbed, then mix a bit of cement in with your sharp sand and make a dry mix, and then brush it into the cracks, natural moisture will then set it.

We've never bought any cement, Tony. Are there different sorts. Can you get little bags?

[tonyav]

Yes I think you can Tilly, builders merchants or DIY shops maybe.

[tonyav]

Sorry, ordinary Portland cement will be fine.

Thanks, Tony.
