So you want to clean your driveway or patio, maybe you think the professionals are charging to much or maybe you think you will enjoy the experience. Let me tell you you wont! And the worst thing is once you have started it then you have to finish it, you can't leave it half finished can you?
Equipment really is everything as far as pressure washing a driveway or patio is concerned and I'm afraid your 100bar electric job just wont get the results you are looking for.
In fact I would go so far as to say you will probably be doing more harm than good by attempting to do this yourself and it could lead to costly repairs to the whole area, for example blasting away at that deep rooted weed could quite easily loosen up the pointing in between the slabs and once one bit flies off then another will soon follow then every week you will find another bit has gone missing, then another, then the slabs will start to wobble then they will start to dip where the sub base is being worn away then hey presto you're paying up to Ј25.00 a square metre to get it re-pointed.
Its the same with block paving only much quicker, you are quite happily blasting away at that moss when "Hey where is all that sand coming from?" That sand is being washed away from underneath your block-paving, it's the sub base that the blocks sit on. Next time it rains have a look at the puddles all over your driveway or patio and guess what..they will only get bigger!
Seriously leave it to the professionals, they have invested in the correct equipment, they know what they are doing and are worth every penny.

Who wouldn't want to have a clear patio driveway, especially if you're driving one heck of a car? It is a tough job! But since I'm one thrifty guy, I'm the one who's always cleaning our patio. Cleaning the patio can be an easy job if you have the necessary things that you need. A scrub, pressure cleaner, hot water mixed with multi-surface cleaner, and a bucket will do the trick! Also, hot temperature could help remove dirt residue, and it can ease the cleaning part.
