Title: Cleaning Indian yorkstone without a pressure washer
Post by: cleaning4usussex on June 26, 2014, 07:38:12 pm
Just a quick question I have a customer who uses chemicals on there patio but it doesn't work well by the looks of it! They don't want it pressure washed which I think it needs,   it's dirty and green could I wet it with hose then spray with hypo or algo clear then agitate ie broom then wash off with hose again can anyone think why this wouldn't work?

Yes, I've personally done just that. But it won't work in every case, depends how soiled.

I have cleaned Indian sandstone with just chemicals, but the results will be better with a light pressure wash, just to move the dirt from the surface.

But not as good as they will be with a Mono Rotary Machine ;D
