(water gushing)
- Hi and welcome to another video
from Premier Lawns.
In this video today
we'll be power washing a driveway.
This is our Honda power washer.
The pump puts out 21 liters a minute.
The water output is very important
as the higher the figure,
the faster the cleaning is done.
This is a flat surface stainless steel cleaner.
It's much faster than using a lance.
I'll just show you how it works.
The three arms spin in a counter-clockwise direction,
jets on the end of them, powered by the water.
This is the pavement that we're gonna clean today.
We'll come back another day and we'll re-sand it.
You can see the white spots,
that's actually lichen.
We'll put down a bio-cide when we're working for this
to clean this off.
(gentle relaxing music)
This is the flat surface cleaner in action.
It's important just to go nice and slow
and take your time
to give the water time to do the work.
(gentle relaxing music continues)
This tool here is called a muck scraper.
It's much better than a stiff brush
for cleaning up debris and is invaluable for power washing.
Just finishing off with the turbo nozzle.
As you can see, this house is fairly dirty.
We use these little boys here,
they're called detergent nozzles.
They're really good for just washing down.
There's like a really gentle,
there's a really gentle pressure off them.
(gentle relaxing music continues)
So as you can see, the cleaning's all finished.
What I would like to say is jobs like this
you really need the price for three visits.
One to come and do the weed control,
the next visit in a couple of weeks later
to do the washing
and then, the driveway here's still pretty wet
and it takes a couple of days to dry out.
So we'll do a final visit to come back and re-sand it.
Just a couple of thoughts to finish it off.
For people who they're thinking about buying a power washer,
I would always say go for the 21 liter machine as a minimum.
If money is an issue, buy the washer first
and then at a later date
after you've cleaned a few driveways,
use that money to buy a flat surface cleaner.
