TESTED Driveway cleaners

Flow claims to take the hard work out of sprucing up your driveway. We put it to the test against our current cleaning champ

WE all enjoy the feeling when we stand back and look at a freshly cleaned car, but do you ever look at the driveway underneath it? Once you have driven away from your usual spot, you might find there is a ring of grime and algae where your car was parked. If you have a classic vehicle or do DIY servicing, you are likely to find the occasional oil stain too.

Which means it is time to give your driveway a valet. A couple of hours with a hose, brush and a dedicated cleaner will have it looking loved once again. In our last big test, we gave the top prize to Scrubb’s Driveway & Patio Cleaner for its combination of cleaning power and value.
