Any one washed a sidewalk like this

I’ve done a lot of brick but not really a lot of pavers. They’re not sealed and have more of a mildew issue than gum and dirt. I gave a bid this morning but was wondering what if anything I might need to be watchful of while I’m waiting on lunch? Not that it’s relevant but I’m eating a fried green tomato blt at the tomato Place. Duck Dynasty did an episode here

One of the most popular surfaces here in Australia ironically!

Super easy to clean - easy to rinse.

Post treat any bits that the SC doesn’t get with a strong solution as the mould can get into the surface pretty deep and sometimes the SC can’t get it :slight_smile:

Post an after!

y, super easy. You may want to cut surface cleaner down a tad, don’t need super high pressure to clean. If it’s really dirty I’ll almost post treat it first, maybe with like 2-3% mix, then clean it, rinse and collect check. That doesn’t look that bad though.

I’m running threes now @ 2800 psi I’m going to see how 3.5s or maybe even 4s will do. I’m running a four nozzle 24” ground force. I traded my little big Guy for it and love it. I hated having to go in a straight line. I like going side to side and when I get bored going in circles lol

I just move my throttle to about 80% or just add another 100’ of hose.

Or that:roll_eyes:

LOL, half the homes around here have concrete drives and paver sidewalks or sections of pavers in their drives or big paver patios. No way to change nozzles everytime.

I’ve done mostly gum infested sidewalks I’m doing a lot of upper end residential and commercial. I’m actually enjoying residential. I’ve got a house to do next week with a stained concrete pool surround I’m hoping that I can pretreat it with a light mix and follow with a light pressure rinse. I used to hate residential but I’m getting to old to be up all night on sidewalks. I’m trying to build just enough commercial accounts to subsidize the winter months image|375x500

At what age did you start your own business?

Definitely pre treat it. Makes it a million times easier than just the SC. Those pavers have tiny holes that the mould sits in - some of which are untouched with a single pass with the SC I found.

Treat, clean, rinse and post treat :+1:t2:
