Patios... Are For Fun And Family Gatherings--All Year Round!
What
better place for fun and relaxing than the patio? Every year when
summer rolls around you can be sure that all across America patios are
the gathering place for outdoor fun and social gatherings. Oh, for
sure, if there's a pool in the backyard that's great too, but a pool in
the backyard without a patio is like summer without the sun.
From
elaborate structures that simply inspires awe to crude
canopies that challenge your sense of logic; patios are what
summers are made of. Being able to exist the house into an open cool
spot can't help but make you feel good. And what about the grill; your
favorite lawn chair; the patio table where good conversation with
friends and family seems to never end. It's no wonder that
over the past decades patios have become a fixture in American summers,
and all across the good old USA good times and unforgettable
fun happens on millions of patios all across America each and
every summer.
And
the fun is just not relegated to the summertime alone, from Memorial
Day weekend to fall grid-iron classics, patios have proven to be one of
the best ideas man have ever come up with...at least that's how I see
it, and from looking around me I don't think I'm going to get much
debate from my neighbors. Hamburgers, ballpark franks, smoke sausages,
smoke salmon and chicken...and how can you forget 'bar-be-cue ribs'!
Man, my mouth becomes watery just to think about it. And what about all
the tasty drinks and ice cold beverages
that everybody seems to love? It's no wonder that kids of all ages love the fun and gatherings on the patio.
But
what about the patio when it hasn't been properly cared for and
maintained? What about each season of the year that comes and goes
leaving behind its very own residue? Although fall's foliage is
beautiful and breathtaking with the leaves dressed out in all their
splendor and glory; leaves left on patio decks can leave the slab or
flooring stained and discolored. And what about April's showers that
can quickly create an ideal breeding place for mildew spores and black
mold as well, especially in the southern part of the country where
warmth and moisture are ideal breeding conditions for many different
types of funguses that can dissemate an area like a patio with
unbelievable quickness?
Your
patio really can be a swell place for fun, food, and gathering for
friends and family; but it can also be a breeding place for mosquitoes,
mildew, mold and even salmonella and trichinosis, caused by the
trichina worm; if all areas and cooking utensils along with tables and
stands are not adequately cleaned and sterilized with bleach and a real
good alkaline cleaning solution.
Pressure
washing your patio can be a very good method in keeping the place
clean, however if your patio's flooring is not a concrete slab you
should check with the manufacturer of the flooring of your
patio and follow their recommended directions for cleaning and
maintaining the floor. Remember, when pressure cleaning your deck do
not use brute force to remove stains and funguses, instead, use
quality, safe and bio-degradeable cleaning solutions that are pet
friendly and environmentally safe. To obtain more in depth material on

Conclusion
Keeping
your patio clean and sanitized is really the only way to go. With
family and friends gathering for fun under the sun, and the kids and
grand kids running around having a blast; it only makes sense to do
your very best to make sure your patio is a safe and clean place for
all to gather...year round. So go the extra distance in keeping your
patio a fun area for all to enjoy, after all, when it's time for fun
who has time for sickness...or even worse? Have a great summer, Don.
