As someone who leads a team of seasoned DBPR HR-7020 balcony and commercial inspection professionals, I know firsthand that regular balcony cleaning alone can prevent many problems.
But keeping balconies clean and presentable is also tricky. After all, they're constantly exposed to the elements, dirt, grime, and urban debris.
Nevertheless, you can rest easy, as I've put together a list of the six best balcony cleaners. These cleaners will keep your commercial building's outdoor spaces looking brand new.
So, let's dive right in and have a look:
1. Pro-Kleen Simply Spray & Walk Away
First up, we've got Pro-Kleen Simply Spray & Walk Away. Trust me when I say this is a godsend for busy property managers.
How?
As the name suggests, you can spray it on and walk away without scrubbing.
Also, it's highly concentrated, so a little spray goes a long way. All you have to do is mix it up in a 4:1 ratio with water, and you're good to go.
What I love the most about this cleaner is its versatility. It works on all sorts of surfaces, be it concrete or wood decking.
The best part is that it's biodegradable and pH-neutral, so it won't damage any sealants you might have on your balconies. And this, in turn, will help you score a high property valuation from business appraisal services.
The downside: It might need a reapplication after a few months, especially in high-traffic areas.
2. Jeyes 4-in-1 Patio & Decking Cleaner
Next up on the list is the Jeyes 4-in-1 Patio & Decking Cleaner. This is a powerhouse of a cleaner that's perfect for those really stubborn stains.
The cleaner is compatible with pressure washers, making it ideal for large commercial balconies where you need to quickly cover a lot of ground.
The best part: This cleaner is fast-acting. You'll start seeing results within days, sometimes even hours.
The downside: It's pretty potent, so you should keep pets and people off the treated areas until they're completely dry.
3. Wet & Forget Moss Mold Lichen & Algae Remover
If you're dealing with a lot of organic growth on your balconies, Wet & Forget can be your new best friend.
This cleaner is specifically designed to tackle moss, mold, lichen, and algae—all the green nasties that love to make themselves at home on balconies.
The best part is that it has long-lasting effects. Once applied, it keeps working for months, preventing regrowth.
The downside: It's pricier than other options on the market, and some people might find it unaffordable.

For those who are looking for a more eco-friendly option, Algon Organic Path Patio & Deck Cleaner offers a sustainable solution.
This is a non-toxic and biodegradable cleaner that is safe to use around plants, pets, and people. It is perfect for balconies in residential or mixed-use commercial buildings.
The best part is that you'll see great results within a couple of weeks. Plus, you can feel good about not harming the environment.
The downside: It's less fast-acting than some chemical cleaners.
5. Brilliant Seal Xtreme Patio Cleaner
Brilliant Seal Xtreme Patio Cleaner is your go-to cleaning material if you need something that works fast and hard.
Mark my words; this stuff is potent. It will remove black spots, algae, moss, and pretty much anything else that's making your balconies look grimy.
The best part: Although you'll need to keep the surface wet for about an hour, the results are worth it.
The downside: This is strong stuff, so keep people and pets away until thoroughly rinsed and dried.
6. Patio Magic! Concentrate
Last but not least, we've got the Patio Magic! Concentrate. This is another excellent option for dealing with organic growth on your balconies.
The cleaner is particularly effective against green mold and algae, common problems on balconies in damp or shaded areas.
The best part: Patio Magic! The concentrate is biodegradable and doesn't need scrubbing or pressure washing. You apply it and let it do its thing.
The downside: It takes a few days to see results.
To sum up
Now that you've seen the best balcony cleaners on the market remember that the best cleaner for your building will depend on your exact needs.
To that end, try a few options to see what works best for you.
Also, regular maintenance is vital to keep your balcony looking great. So, a quick sweep once a week and a deeper clean every few months will do the trick.
