Cleaning Tips Please

2 years ago

Anyone got advice on how to clean our outdoor area? Have tried pressure washing but the grime isn’t really coming off. Maybe there is some sort of product I can use?

There are many ways to clean outdoor spaces. One of the most common ways is to use a garden hose and water to wash away any dirt or grime accumulated on your patio furniture, walkways, and more. Workers in this field from Sparkle Wash recommend using a high-pressure washing method to clean your outdoor area. This is done by a machine that uses high-pressure water and soap to clean the area. The machine sprays a detergent onto the surface and then blasts it with water at excessive pressure. This loosens up any oil or dirt that's on the surface, which will help make it much easier to wipe away with a rag or other tool that is used for cleaning.

Haha CCI, it's good to know I'm not the only one happy to use such a convoluted description of a handy shower tool. I don't think there'd be any issue with bicarb in the front loader, although I use it in a top loader with a liquid detergent. It just boosts the power of the detergent, which is why you're able to use so much less of it. The vinegar works as a softener, but doesn't leave any vinegar smell. Honestly, since doing this my towels and face cloths have been softer than ever. It took a few washes to get the full effect, but it was noticeable from the first one. Vinegar and bicarb also help keep the machine fresh and clean, as well as the plumbing, potentially saving problems down the track. My Dyson recently blew up, it was well out of warranty. There are TWO filters you need to clean, not one... I'd only been doing the one, for almost 8 years! Anyway, they sent me a code to cover postage costs and I boxed it up and sent it off to them. They had it back to me very quickly with a brand new replacement motor (and filters), which has a new warranty on it. It cost me almost $90. Fantastic service. Every single part is replaceable, I love that. What a shame more companies don't have such great service and ethic.

There is a product called Nanokote that you apply to the shower screen so the water just beads off when wet. Now I did try this product years ago and didn't find it that great but it could of improved by now. But my husband uses car wax on the windscreen of my car and polishes it off so water just slides of it when it rains so I am thinking of him doing this when we move into our new home shortly and see how that goes. As for tiles everyone raves about those steam machines but in the product reviews I haven't found a model that hasn't broke down after a short use.

If they really are hard water residue spots, and scrubbing with vinegar solution hasn't worked, perhaps leave neat vinegar to sit for a while before scrubbing off. The next step would be a cleaner that contains hydrochloric acid, or try your own solutions of this acid. Start with a weak solution and make it stronger if necessary. Be careful with the acid though.
