Attempting to Clean this Salt-Damaged Patio

[@tomhud2022]

no idea why u cleaned it as it will just come back - they need to deal with the main issue or its all a waste of time Really good cleanup though but sadly it will come with the amount of rain we have in the UK

[@SMOUT_]

Whats the point in cleaning your car? Its just going to get dirty again...

[@gamer81budz22]

Nice reply! Guess those guys dont bother showering or bathing either...stuff gets dirty..u clean, pretty simple really🤷‍♂️@@SMOUT_

He is very new to pressure washing, so he is still learning.

[@MrLegend139]

Because he got paid to clean it.. 😂😂

[@Liverpool1ne]

Because it looked awful and they most likely want to enjoy summer out there 🤔

[@jamievaughan6139]

Well done both of you, great finish!

[@Liverpool1ne]

0:52 what’s with the traffic warden 😂 great job 👍🏻

[@computercraig777]

French drian needed at the end of the lawn

[@canderson9328]

Wow! Amazing results, the before and after is phenomenal

[@SMOUT_]

Thanks matey 🙏🏼

[@ollyshriver]

Looks great! It’ll be interesting to see if it comes back.

[@SMOUT_]

Thanks. I think it will. The customer does it every year, it's an ongoing issue

[@Liverpool1ne]

@@SMOUT_ don’t suppose there is some sort of sealer or application that could be applied to the bricks and areas that are creating the salt to hold it back? Or could the patio be treated so the salt doesn’t bond to the surface as before?

Richard Madden from Wish (In the nicest way) Keep up the great work mate. Wonderful to watch

[@giovannafabbri9033]

Good job. I am glad that you did clean the drain, at the end... I was suffering while you were rinsing, and it was clearly clogged 😝

[@Footballedits10174]

Well done mate ,perfection. 👍

[@JamieHagland]

Hard work pays off.. great results

[@80gam]

Great effort, that looked a tough gig 👏

Living the bloody dream mate.

Where would ye rather be?

[@Basi1550]

First of all it is a great job - well done. At the same time I understand what you said about mixing a soap with the acid, but I didn't fully get why you chosed this solution. First of all, the chemical reaction between soap and acid might be really violent, can create deadly fumes (eg: chlorine+acid=chlorine gas - deadly in 3 minutes) and the soap is lowering the efficiency of the acid. You might want to try other official acid mixtures that are foaming without adding soap.

Amazing results, love the patio. My dream is to have indian sandstone out our back, whats there is just them standard concret slabs and they're well worn at this stage.

[@spiderswebs11]

But it will be just the same when the limescale comes back, but looks better than it did.

[@Manny.64]

Smashed it 👌🏼👌🏼

[@jackv1845]

Looks banging mate👌🏻

[@SMOUT_]

Thanks buddy

[@thomascoyne157]

Brilliant job at least you can use it and enjoy it. Maybe they will be able to core Drill the walls and sleeve them as drainage points too help with the drainage 👍👍👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thanks matey

Hi mate, which pressure washer for between 300/400 can I get to start up thanks

[@richarddunk7875]

I know this might sound like a silly question and its probably come up at some point before but I’m new to the channel and pressure washing. Household bleach contains Sodium hypochlorite. Im guessing theres a good reason why professional pressure washers don’t use it Im just curious why. I was gonna use it on my patio for the black spots but don’t want to make a mistake. Thanks

[@SMOUT_]

It will work perfectly fine mate, but we're using 15% SH, I think household bleach contains about 2-3%. Still does the job though, you'd just adjust your dilution. Also check the surface is safe for bleach, not all patios are 👍🏼

[@richarddunk7875]

@@SMOUT_ Cheers pal. Thanks for the info 👍

[@Chris-fr8ox]

Hey mate, love your videos. I’m about to start up. I saw your videos regarding start up equipment - just wondered if you had any other recommendations on washers as I’ve read some bad reviews about Parker brand (customer services) and yours broke too!

[@SMOUT_]

Thats a budget one not designed for commercial use. Check out my recommended suppliers at smout.club/suppliers.html

[@dynajedi]

Still no sign writing on that new van?

[@Johnny-gd3bs]

I feel bad for y'all UK people. I live in Charleston, SC, and I'd say 90% of the houses are new, within 10 years- aka, not as dirty.

[@scottsmith2173]

I don't understand. Are you suggesting when a house gets dirty knock it down? I would rather buy an older house in the UK as they are built to last unlike our newer builds.

Hi. What make is your blower?

Titan from Screwfix :)

[@soundman6645]

I would have wet it all down and let it sit for a while first. afterall it is soluable mineral salts.
