It took me three hours with my small electric pressure washer, Sun Joe SPX2598 1500 psi/ 1.2 gpm, to clean the patio.
The patio is about 30 ft by 15 ft. The stones cleaned up nicely. I was covered in mud when I was done and so was the white stucco of the house. I washed out the mud from the stucco with the garden hose. I did not use any bleach or any chemical at all, just cold water. What was on the surface of the stones was organic green matter, from decomposing leaves etc.
I read about the surface cleaner attachment. Home Depot has a 12 in Ryobi
Is it worth getting?
Ryobi has a 2700psi/1.1gpm pressure washer
Does this have enough output to drive the surface cleaner?
Does the surface cleaner clean the joints between the stones? I noticed that the joints were quite a bit harder to clean than the surface of the stones. Spraying the joints with just the wand kicks up a lot of mud, no matter how the wand is aimed. Is there an attachment to clean joints, or at least contain the flying mud?
