🍂 Patio Cleaning in October: The Perfect Time to Prepare for Winter

As the leaves fall and the evenings draw in, October is the perfect time to give your outdoor spaces the attention they deserve. Many of us spend the month tidying the garden, cutting back plants, and preparing for winter — but one area often overlooked is the patio.

A patio should be a safe, inviting, and low-maintenance space, but without care, autumn’s damp weather encourages moss, algae, and lichen to take hold. By cleaning and treating your patio now, you’ll protect it through the winter and enjoy a fresh, spotless surface when spring arrives.

🌧 Why Patio Cleaning in Autumn Matters

  • Safety First → Wet leaves, moss, and algae turn patios into slip hazards during the colder months.

  • Protect Surfaces → Dirt and growth don’t just sit on top — they gradually break down materials like stone and concrete.

  • Year-Round Appearance → Sorting your patio now means you’ll step into spring with a space that’s already clean and welcoming.

đź§˝ Specialist Treatments for Lasting Results

At Cotswold Exterior Surface Cleaning LTD, we don’t just clean your patio — we treat it too. Our specialist biocide treatments keep working for up to a year, preventing moss and algae from coming back.

And here’s the bonus: come spring, we’ll return for a free blow-off service to remove any light debris, ensuring your patio looks perfect all year round.
