Patio brick cleaning

[abap_doctor]

OK, so I've got a Karcher pressure washer and I need to clean my patio which is made up of red-bricks.

I have cleaned it before using the wand which worked very well, but took a long time and was a bit (bit?) messy...

Has anyone got experience of the T-Racer attachment that looks a bit like this:



Is it worth getting? Is it better than just the wand? Does it get the bricks clean, or just give them a bit of a wash...?

dont they have Mexicans where you live?

Just pour muriatic acid all over the pavers about 10-20 minutes before a heavy thunder storm, scrub lightly with a thick bristled broom. Let the rain wash it away, hose off if rain not heavy enough.

Better living through Chemistry.

I always wondered by the bricks in Mexico were so clean!

Ordered a Karcher T300 T-Racer, so will let you know what happens...

(Probably get wet and cold and it won't shift a snail...)

We had a similar experience (oh, the shame of a dirty driveway).

I got my old Bosch powerwasher out but it took us frigging AGES because we didn't have a suitable attachment. It's like trying to take out an entire army with a sniper rifle. My woman had to put her sunglasses on because the earth and crap was flying everywhere.

When I finally convinced her to stop she took off her shades and gasped in horror - we'd simply transferred the muck up from the driveway onto the walls, windows, the neighbour's walls, window, car. It was chaos.

We were unable to find a compatible Bosch driveway attachment so ended up buying a Karcher powerwasher. It feels cheap and nasty compared to my lovely Bosch (purr) but it has made cleaning the driveway (oh, again, the shame!) so much easier.

A driveway? Really? Can't just wait for a good rain?
