Add a few drops of dish soap. Mix all ingredients together.
Step 3: Scrub
Using a heavy duty soft bristle brush, pour small amounts of the mixture onto various areas of the stone patio, and begin scrubbing in circular motions.

God love all of you with good knees! Go buy a long handled patio brush at the Home Dept. I think I paid less than $10.00 and it’s more than worth it.
