Now that the lawn has been dealt with – we hope you saw our last blog on getting the lawn ship shape for spring? We move onto the patio area – after all it’s nearly time for garden parties once again and you wouldn’t want people coming round to a dirty patio area would you.
With the remnants of children’s muddy footprints from the lawn and animal tracks from the winter period, the patio is looking worse for wear. The best (and quickest) way to clean this is using a pressure washer.
Pressure Washers
Not only do they come in handy for cleaning the patio area, walls, sheds but they also comes in handy for cleaning the car which is also looking like it’s been through a muddy field or two – after all the price of car washes can be saved with 5-10 minutes with a pressure washer (dependent upon how thick it's covered with mud).Electric
Ideal for cleaning bicycles, garden furniture and medium-duty washing of cars or wooden fencing to of patios or decking and brickwork. Electric pressure washers are compact and easy to store taking up minimal room. Most have been designed with wheels built in to make transporting around very easy and with hose storage so you have all you need in one place to hand whilst carrying out the task.Petrol
For the more demanding clean, petrol pressure washers have been designed for longer periods of use and are usually found on commercial grounds or with landowners. They are larger in size but generally give a larger bar pressure and litre per minute output than the electric models. More suited to cleaning outdoor floors, walls and general outside cleaning.
