Title: Resin bonded driveway
Post by: Tom-01 on June 19, 2020, 05:21:46 pm

Hi everyone

Hope you’re all doing well and keeping busy.

I’m quoting to clean a property and part of the job is to clean the driveway. I’ve done similar to this before and using the pressure washer it can leave stripes when dried out.

There’s a lot of moss on this one so it needs pressure washing. Any ideas about the stripes?

Attached some pics. (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1592583694_556EAA3D-8BB3-442F-AD9F-C980E1931679.jpeg)(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1592583694_0DEBFA53-AA58-45ED-A629-5FD39443ACCE.jpeg)(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1592583694_859750E5-2746-4F62-8A4E-603AD295C66C.jpeg)

You lot are pressure washer brain washed ;D. Leave the pressure washing out.  Use a mono rotary machine fitted with a soft to medium brush.  Pre wet the drive with a hose fill the tank on the Rotary with  Fila PS 87 Scrub it lightly then just rinse with a hose and clean water afterwards or if you are determined to play with a pressure washer use it on light fan mode to rinse if you must.

Thanks Kevin. How much to rent a mono rotary machine for a day?

Thanks Kev.

Does it work quite quickly? Do you think that driveway can be done in a day?

Do you hire those machines yourself? Where are you based?
