Hi,
Years ago I bought a Nilfisk 120 bar pressure washer and put it to good use; I even took it up on the roof ours being a bungalow; it was truly amazing the amount of dirt it removed but it came with a price; by the time I had pressure washed everything my back ached as did both my arms and the job took a lot of time and effort.
I've mentioned this previously but worth mentioning again now springtime is approaching. Bron started to use Morrisons cheap 21p vinegar to remove marks from our patio and having great success she decided to pour a bottle of the vinegar spreading it with a soft sweeping brush; she then went over with a small watering can of clean cold water and brushed this in; this brought the patio up like brand new and Bron had enjoyed doing this without much effort at all. We have a 42' long paved sloping pathway to the side of the bungalow and I usually pressure wash this twice yearly; Bron's just enjoyed using the vinegar on it and now she also uses a drop of washing up liquid; compared to pressure washing; brushing gently using vinegar/washing up liquid is vastly superior saving so much time and energy; no more long hose or power cord; no noise; no dragging the pressure washer around and no more aching back or arms. Our pressure washer now sits in the garden hut gathering spiders webs.
I hope this is of use; it works for us and Bron has come up with a brilliant solution.
Kind regards, Colin.
The top of our sloping pathway having been gone over twice with vinegar.
The bottom of the same pathway untreated with vinegar; the top of the low wall has been treated and what a huge difference. Top marks to Bron for this.
