				Does anyone use a wet and dry vacuum cleaner - like a heavy duty Henry or Karcher - to clean outside patios?  We use a hose ( when permitted) or a bucket and mop but I wondered if this might be an alternative

				A power washer like a Karcher will be best, brush away excess water and let it dry naturally

				But of course it is NOT permitted at the moment. Like fireworks are not permitted

				Yes we do power wash and brush (when itโs permitted of course Trev 

) I wondered whether the wet vac would offer us an option where dirty water can easily be poured on garden.  But a whole patio might be asking too much of a relatively small machine. Mop and bucket for now as itโs very dusty after a summer with few people staying at ours and a building going on opposite

				We use hot water, and a good dollop of vinegar, and a Vileda mop.  The tiles come up really well, and shiny.  We've tried the power washer, when permitted, but have lost some grouting as a result.
