Doomed from the start?!
This pressure washing clean was a true test of my willpower, from losing footage of satisfying chemical treatments, the baking sun, and the thickest black spots I have encountered so far.. on a fragile surface to boot!
I am always learning so would love to hear your feedback on how I can jet wash better.
I hope you enjoy this video and I can't wait to have a chat in the comments below!

Great job!! I don't think that stonework was EVER cleaned and by the looks of it, it's VERY OLD! You did the best job you can and it shows! Again looks a lot better!

@MarnieSablan 4 месяца назад

Jake, at the beginning, it looked like you were trying to clean the Haunted Mansion. As a pool cleaner, for black algae we would scrub it with a wire brush at first, hoping to remove the head. If there were a lot of black spots, we'd drain the pool, do an acid wash with Muriatic Acid, let it sizzle for a bit, scrub it with a wire brush if needed, rinse and then apply Soda Ash - or baking soda to neutralize the acid. Black Algae is the worst! You did an incredible job here. Oh yeah, Orange.

@peelpilgrim 4 месяца назад

There's nothing to beat yourself up about, you did an amazing job considering the state it was in. If I was the customer I'd have been delighted with the finish. The ORANGE brickwork came up a treat and has enhanced the whole space.

@diamondexteriorcleaning 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much PeelPilgrim! (A fitting name for the orange episode) I really appreciate your comment 😊🍊

@kevinwall795 4 месяца назад

I appreciate your concerns over the durability of some of the materials being cleaned. I find that using the turbo to rinse down AFTER the SH application has a disproportionately positive effect than solely rinsing off the SH. I tend to start off on a 5:1 ratio with the Xjet, then a 2.5:1, if blackspot remains (following a thorough agitation), then, ultimately, neat. Very, very few blackspot infestations survive that regime. However, I understand your concerns over the ability of the stone to take that kind of treatment. Very frustrating for the perfectionist! Love the videos though!

@diamondexteriorcleaning 4 месяца назад

Thanks Kevin, really appreciate your help!! Another commenter also mentioned a pre-treatment too, does it help break down the spots ready to be cleaned with pressure? I really appreciate your help and that you have taken the time to help me! Thanks!! 😊🍊

@kevinwall795 4 месяца назад

@@diamondexteriorcleaning I don't tend to pre-treat, but it couldn't hurt. I find that after any ratio of SH treatment the blackspot appears weakened. Still strong enough to cling on if washed with a flat surface cleaner or fan lance, but not strong enough to cling on when faced with the turbo. I run my business as a part-time pension top-up, so I am not in a hurry to squeeze in 3 jobs a day like some of the big boys. Consequently, I can take my time with multiple SH applications & agitations. I haven't been defeated to date.

Orange! 🍊 I love the orange brick wall what we call in Germany rote Backstein Wand. A lot of houses and official buildings are made of that colorful brick work here in Berlin and in the surrounding areas of Brandenburg. Even yellow bricks were used, but the red ones are my favorite and even more common. I remember the inner yard between the front house and the stables where my grandparents lived were plastered with those yellow bricks. I think they'd never been cleaned during the time my grandparents lived there in a rented apartment on second floor. Thanks for cleaning and bringing the colors back to life. 👍

@diamondexteriorcleaning 4 месяца назад

How interesting Manuela! It is so wonderful that each different geography has such unique ways of doing things. We do not have a mass of different colours here so it is nice to hear about the buildings in Germany. I have visited once, to Hamburg for a few days. Unfortunately no more exploration since then! Really appreciate it 🍊

@joygrove5570 4 месяца назад

Orange ... is also a color you find a lot in the buildings in the Rhineland and Westphalia. And I believe it's the city of Hannover that has a stunning church built completely of red brick. In the case of this video, the contrast between those brick walls and the color of the patio stones makes it quite beautiful. I'm glad the new owners decided to have it all cleaned professionally.

@misscaroline542 4 месяца назад

Well, I am not an expert, but I don’t think there is much that you could have done differently. Reapplying the hypo multiple times maybe? But perhaps you did and that’s the footage that you lost. But really, don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s a huge improvement! 👍 It should have been cleaned YEARS ago given that the black spots were basically engrained into the stone. I hope they will maintain it and get regular cleaning from now on. Keep up the amazing work! 🍊💎🍀

@diamondexteriorcleaning 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much MissCaroline! The customer has just moved in and I agree with you, maybe it wasn't cleaned for a really long time.. I am a perfectionist so it is hard to accept :P I tried a few treatments with the hypo and erven on undiluted. It was not meant to be! :D I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and it has made me feel better about the result! 🍊

@misscaroline542 4 месяца назад

@@diamondexteriorcleaning I thought you reapplied the hypo several times, and if that doesn’t work, even when you apply it neat, nothing will. It’s really the previous owner’s fault for not maintaining it. Hope you have a lovely weekend! 🌞

This was a massive job and you can be very proud of the outcome. Those orange brick walls are really beautiful, but my favourite are those wonderful old balustrades. Incredible transformation from black grime to a brilliant white! Regarding those black spots on fragile surfaces. Can you adjust the temperature of the water? Maybe it could help using hot water while pressure washing with lower pressure to protect those surfaces.

I helped a friend clean his walkway around the old house he bought, it had a 3 level patio, planter posts and red brick everywhere (knee walls) with the stone tops. So much damage to the mortar between the surface stone and brickwork was exposed after we cleaned. The exposure to the weather just did its thing over time. Bricks we could reset but the mortar would look different so I told him we should reset the loose and tuck point the whole thing. After the treatments and the tuck-point it looked like it was just installed. You are doing great work.

@dominicdevone2684 2 месяца назад

Orange! Awesome work as always! Speaking of Orange, I use Krud Kutter, orange Krud Kutter. It works tremendously well on tough stains. I'm in the maintenance industry, and when I pressure wash, I use Krud Kutter on really tough stains. I use it as a pre treater and spray it on full strength. Let it sit and break down the stain them come back and wash it away. Awesome stuff.

@tammytaylor6732 4 дня назад
