Vaccum Cleaner for Patio

We have a large patio surrounded by shrubs and plants. I can sweep the leaves up (we have a leaf blower but I don't like them because of the bugs getting chopped up), but there is always soil and dust etc!

How do you keep yours clean? Everywhere I look people have these pristine patios that look like inside floors!

I just assume they clean it before taking pics. Mine has dust and soil on it at the moment.

Lots of sweeping (soft broom better for dust) and the occasional mop bucket of soapy water that I use to 'scrub' the patio with a hard broom.

Plus a twice yearly pressure wash.

We pressure wash it annually in spring. Brush it and also hose it down when it’s bad. I can’t abide a dirty patio to be honest. We spend a lot of time out there and keeping it clean is important. I’ve no more desire to sit on the patio covered in dirt than I do to sit in my living room with dirt on the floor

Pressure wash when we can (I borrow one from my brother), otherwise just sweep it.

I've sweeped it down but it's still dusty. Maybe brush too hard. Get so fed up of it. Found a workroom vaccum. Thinking of getting it!

I’ve seen people use vacuums outside (Henry hoover)
