Pressure washers?

wallbash

I think I have the expensive £99 one , but got it last year with 15% off day.
But the T- 50 bit is useless , if I had the choice again would have saved my money and bought the £50 model ,


BUT lynzpower the T-50 might well work inside / walls , the water is contained and the T- 50 is only a piece of plastic . light enough to hold against a wall.

Im glad this has been posted.

I was thinking of getting some sort of steam/ pressure washer for

patios
internal hard linoleum ( commercial floor)
commercial tiled walls

I was hoping to buy something that would remove- ie blast off - black mould/ moss.

Would anything here we are talking about actually do that job or do I need a different machine/tool?

Im so confused about this, would love any pointers.

for internall use and mold i would try a steam cleaner...

thanks I was unsure which sort would be best. We have a bissell carpet and hard floor cleaner and I wondered whether this might be able to suck up all the mould/ wateronce it got washed off but the model reportedd above sucks up so that would be even better? etc. I know a steam cleaner is no good for outside? Windows would be good as well.

Pondering...!

Is there a combi machine ( ie steams and pressures)

As it has the vario and dirtblaster lance, it also has the patio cleaner, which hopefully is better than my crappy Wickes one.

As you are doing block paving, I would wait until the weather is a bit better, as you cant brush the sand in, unless it is completely dry.
Keep the lance at a very shallow angle, to avoid blasting the sand out, as much as possible. Some block paving is better than others, so you cant tell how much sand will wash out.
I like to water the paving with cheap bleach (50% water, bleach, with a dash of washing up liquid) a day, or two before pressure washing, to kill the algae and moss. You can buy special cleaners, but they don't seem any better.

Hire one, the little DIY ones are throw aways. Its all about LPM (Litres per minute), My 3000psi 22 LPM petrol powered unit will outwash any number of Chuckable ones. Ask for A TURBO NOZZLE, and do 40<100 sq mtrs in half a day. OR buy a cheapo, (5-7 LPM @ 1000psi), spend the whole weekend do less f a job, and take it back for a refund on Monday.
