Pressure wash lane with attractive momentum.

Q: My house was recently painted and now I want to clean my driveway to highlight the front of the house. Since we parked our cars in the garage, I do not have to worry about oil stains. ¿Ideas?

A: It seems a high pressure washer is the ticket for you. It's a quick way to get rid of surface dirt, it's easy to use and feels like a man, while he relentlessly removes dirt while the device spits and hisses.

One day when I opened the tailgate of my truck, a spray of paint fell and in slow motion the roof broke and the paint began to flow down the driveway. I quickly cleaned everything I could, then went to wet rags and cleaned the concrete thoroughly.

Fortunately, I have all the paint, but in my cleaning process I have really cleaned that part of the concrete. I did not want to scrub the rest of the road to get there, so I rented a pressure washer.

Pressure washing or high pressure washing can facilitate the cleaning work. For oil stained concrete, rub first with a grease remover and elbow grease and then remove the high pressure cleaner.

You can also try the TSP (Trisodium Phosphate), which works very well. You can mix TSP with talc to form a paste, then cover the stain with the dough until it dries. Then scratch the dough and rub. TSP is a cleaner and talc acts as a sponge that absorbs dirt.

You can buy commercial products that help reduce stains and sebum stains when drying. You will not completely remove the stain, but treating and rubbing will reduce the appearance.

You can rent a high-pressure cleaner from 3,000 to 4,000 psi at a workstation for about $ 100 for half a day. A corridor takes a lot of time, especially with a strong machine in hand.

One of the dangers of a high pressure spray, however, is that it can take advantage of loose or sensitive areas of the access road. When working, pay special attention and wear protective goggles.

Some devices have a feature that allows you to mix the detergent in the line while you are pumping water. You can choose to add detergent to the spray, or you can apply it to the floor and then spray it; Just make sure that the detergent you add is safe for the environment. However, this step simply creates more work, and it's the last thing you want to do on your weekend. Most people just use the water directly for blowing and walking.

To use the device, simply connect the hoses correctly. The garden hose is connected to the inlet and the hose from the sprinkler to the outlet.

Turn on the machine and you're ready to spray. The spray nozzle usually has an adjustable tip, but may be provided with different sized tips to obtain different concentrations of water.

Start at the top of your driveway and hold it at a 45 degree angle, about one foot from the driveway, with a wide-angle sprayer. Spray an area and see if it achieves the desired finish. If not, adjust the beam for more projection in difficult areas.

You may need to go through several passages several times. Always remember to guide the jet out of your body.
