Power washing

yogalady

Hi all

Can anyone recommend someone who does power washing for gardens. Someone who is very reasonable and not expensive and will do good job.

Many thanks

I think Aldi were selling a cheap power washer for about €60 last week if that's any good to you.

My answer is different as well.

I haven't used the powerwasher on the driveway/concrete paths/patios since I was told about something called "Chloras"

You pick up 5ltr for about €6 in a co-op or farm shop and mix a small bit in a watering can and the rest water and the cover the area you want cleaned. I agitate it in with a yard brush and then after about 15 minutes I hose it down. Might dry quickly in this weather.

The fact it has Chlorine in it means you need to be wary of kids and pets when treating the area. Depending on how bad the area is you might want to try that before paying for a handyman with a powerwasher.

That stuff is like magic, power washer has been gathering dust since I started using chloras to clean the back and front garden.

Just make sure that when you use chloras there is no run off onto tarmac.

It’s the best thing to clean cement/concrete but it will eat tarmac.

Chloras is the business, I used it 1 litre to 3 litres of water, spread over the paths with a large watering can
Then gently rub with a yard brush to ensure it gets to all areas
Leave for half hour and wash off with a hose and you'll notice a massive difference once it dries
Bit of advice though in this weather you should hose down the paths before starting to have them wet
