Join me in this immersive POV (Point of View) journey as I tackle a challenging power washing project on a natural stone patio. With over 15 years of organic mildew and algae growth, this patio needs some serious restoration. Watch how I, as a professional power washer, adapt and overcome the hurdles of cleaning this surface and learn how to do something like this yourself.
Here's what you'll see in this video:
Applying House Wash Solution: Starting with a downstream application of a house wash solution, which includes Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach) and surfactant, to loosen and treat the organic build-up.
Surface Head Cleaning: Using a surface head to methodically clean with even pressure. This is then followed up by using a rotary tip on a dual lance gun.
Adjusting Techniques: Realizing that the initial house wash solution isn't concentrated enough, I switch to an M-Jet for a stronger application directly from the bleach bottle, ensuring deeper penetration and effective cleaning.
Professional Equipment Insights: At the beginning, I discuss with the homeowner how my equipment setup, including my pressure control capabilities, ensures the best results for various surfaces.
Tackling Efflorescence: Addressing heavy efflorescence build-up, I perform a test spot using specialized products from Eacochem - Calcite Presoak followed by NMD 80. The process shows significant progress but highlights the need for patience and multiple treatments for complete removal.
Before and After Transformation: Dramatic before and after photos reveal the transformation from a neglected, filthy patio to a clean, nearly new-looking surface.
Lessons Learned: The video demonstrates the importance of adjusting techniques and products based on the surface's condition and how a professional approach can save time and yield superior results.
This video not only showcases the power washing process but also gives you a front-row seat to the decision-making and adaptability required in professional cleaning. See how persistence, the right tools, and techniques turn a daunting task into a successful restoration.
