Morning
How good is this stuff?
Seems too good to be true?
Never heard of it before but sounds good.
Overpriced retail stuff.
Sodium hypochlorite does a great job. Get down the agri supplies and get the stuff in 20L value size. Deosan Red Label Hypochlorite would be one of many brands of hypo.
Judging by your collection of quality used spares you are an avid user of products like this
Not so much my quality used spares at Leinster DAF Centre, but before the late father Honda buggered off to the Philippines (long story, a thread for another day) he went block paving crazy.
Back in 2008, he decided he couldn't be arsed with gardening and so blocked paved the entire plot around the house in Carlisle. He got a jog on with it then because of impending change of rules at the time to stop people doing such things under permitted development.
Anyway before he left the country, he paid some fella c. £800 to clean the driveway. The cunt jet washed it and whilst it looked good for 5 mins, he also filled the grey bin almost entirely full of some of the sand that formerly belonged between the blocks. The damage wasn't too bad as it was relatively small volume to the area of blocks, but it's been a pain in the hole subsequently for weeds.
A few lessons learnt:
Don't fuck around jet washing blocks. You can do more harm than good. If you must, keep the spray wide and tame even though it's tempting to blast the shite out of them clean. Sand from the gaps invariably ends up dislodged and if not replaced will cause block wobble. (Also don't fuck around jet washing moss off roof tiles, you'll fuck the surface of them up)
To clean the algae / mould spots off the blocks for that just like new look, clean them with sodium hypochlorite available from any good #ooharrrgh outlet.
Retail stuff is okay/crap/expensive, remember what happened to Nitromors?
