Pressure Washers Are Fun! By loveonce1 on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I didn't realize that my sidewalks and driveway were dirty until I receieved a letter from my homeowners association telling me so. I didn't think that they were bad at all, but it didn't help that the guy that lived next door was a clean freak and washed his every other week. I just didn't have that dedication. My grandmother had one in her garage for about a year since my grandfather's passing and said I could use it. I had to replace a line that had broken down, but other than that it was perfect.
I started at the top of the driveway and worked my way down. I was absolutely amazed at how these work. I got into it by drawing my name and writing things with the water. It came clean instantly and I was very pleased. I am not sure if this is the strongest or weakest that they get, but I think it does a great job.
It was portable with wheels and very easy to start. I had no problems. It also did a great job on the outside of my house and my back porch. I can't give you a price because my grandmother had no idea and I have never priced them in the past.

Pressure washers are wonderful. In the old days it was an excellent cure for hangovers.
Sounds like a good unit. It sounds like you now have a clean and tidy driveway and sidewalk.
This sounds like a good power washer. Isn't it amazing how grimy something can get, and you don't even realize it til you clean it up. Thanks for sharing your experience with this pressure washer!
Isn't the difference amazing after you wash an area. When my husband was doing ours for the first time, he could not stop because the difference was so big between where he had washed and had not washed.
We used one on our deck and WOW, we were amazed how clean it got
Your homeowners association makes you power wash your driveway and sidewalks? I am sorry, but that sounds really anal to me.
I bet you still write your name and then use this power washer to remove it! Jk....I think these are so fantastic. I use mine for cleaning the deck. Yes, you never know how dirty a surface is unless you have a clean o'holic living next door to you!
How funny. I've never had someone complain about my driveway or sidewalk being dirty! Sounds like this did the job for you though. Hmmm. Maybe that neighbor is not a clean freak...perhaps he just likes to write with his pressure washer too:0)
Yeah, your neighbor needs to stop wasting so much water. I'm sure he does not need to do that as often as he does. It would be more fun to let it build up the way you did and see more results LOL!
I hate the washing with pressure washer cos of all the splashing and dirt but I really do love the after effect of washing on my pavement because they sure look clean and sparkling after all those pressure cleaning.
