When it rains hard, I go out with a deck brush and some cleaning spray to clean the patio. I use a smaller brush to clean the area around the rails.
I'm cool with the resident that lives below me. My patio does not have any drains along the edges so any water will spill down to his patio, so I make sure I only water my plants at night and if I'm going to do some major cleaning with a hose, I let him know in advance.
