Lulumaam · 30/05/2010 18:52

yes ! YABU

PortiaNovmerriment · 30/05/2010 18:53

Why do you feel you need to? It has never in my life occurred to me to bleach a patio.

belgo · 30/05/2010 18:53

YABU.

Bleach is horrible stuff, bad for the environment and not good for your health due to the fumes.

Why do you need to do this?

EccentricaGallumbits · 30/05/2010 18:53

not really me - the woman on come dine with me.

mentalist.

Er, yes. It's absolutely abnormal.

And I'm not being sarcastic, or joking. It's genuinely abnormal. There is no need to EVER bleach a patio.

EccentricaGallumbits · 30/05/2010 18:53

i have never bleached my patio. I am a slattern.

I do not think so.

I uses 10 liters of bleach a week
2 bottles of dettox
1 bottle toilet lime scale remover
2 bottles Dettol

But then I have OCD

Pootles2010 · 30/05/2010 18:57

Isn't that what pressure washers are for?

RunawayWife · 30/05/2010 18:58

I am more shocked by the big chap on come dine with me who broke 2 chairs and did not even say sorry

BigFatSepticToe · 30/05/2010 18:58

mum used to do our back yard with jeyes fluid twice a day when the dog was weeing everywhere and little ones were playing

i bleach our patio about 3 times a year

southeastastra · 30/05/2010 18:59

i would have thought if you had ocd you would be afraid bleach as it's so caustic but then again don't know anything about ocd.

RunawayWife · 30/05/2010 19:00

Jet wash for the patio

RunawayWife · 30/05/2010 19:01

Southeast, I have a bigger fear of germs and disorganization then of bleach

Surely bleach is very, very bad for your grass/plants? I'm very green in the garden. I just wait for it to rain. Voila! Patio clean.

MumInBeds · 30/05/2010 19:19

I really hope this isn't a euphemism.
