Big concrete yard to powerwash - Any tips/help?

    Hi there,
    This is going to be the most mundane job ever - I've powerwashed the yard before and it's just such mundane - spraying tiny bit at a time work.

    Is there any chemicals you can spray the yard with to make it much easier to clean or anything?

    Also need to powerwash some tarmac if any one can provide any tips there.

    Thanks.

    Using a surface cleaner attatchment speeds the job up - they are the round metal-detector looking yokes you can get for your washer.

    Aldi had these recently, saw some in the one in Clane today, probably still have them in a few others.

    Hi,
    I went into a local co op today asking them for said product here and we got chlorine cleaner and sanitiser. Has anyone used this? Instructions are not great - they just tell you how to dilute it.

    At the moment I'm just thinking of using a watering bucket to lay it out over the concrete and the power wash the next day?

    If you are going to leave it on over night try a small piece first,usually you would apply it to the yard with a brush, leave for a couple of hours then wash off.
