👌 Jet washing and full chemical deep cleaning to a tired crazy paved driveway. How to clean a driveway.
👍 Satisfying cleaning video - Pressure washing ASMR, POV cleaning.
Power washing with chemical (sodium hypochlorite) post treat with the X Jet M5
Crazy paving was a massive fad during the 1970's with its unique pattern of mismatched shapes and random colours.
⭐️ This driveway had been left uncleaned for many years. It has started looking very tired and dirty. The trouble with crazy paving is usually the mortar joints are past their best and have started to break away. This leads to moss and weed growth and crumbling cement. It's best to clean these areas with lower pressure to avoid damage. The use of a chemical (sodium hypochlorite) can really lift out ingrained dirt enabling the use of lower pressure, thus reducing the risk of damage.

Phil great to see you back
That rinse down Phil 👌
Great to see you back Phil, keep 'em coming mate. Best wishes for the new season 😉 Intrigued as to what new nozzle that is too 😁
Wow!
Good god, that new nozzle is truly something else! Gonna have to add that to my wishlist.
Also happy to see you back phil, that was a fantastic job, looks like new. Looking forward to more videos.
Cheers John. Hopefully get some more up this year.
Great job Phil, welcome back and here's to a great 2022.
Cheers OTC, hope your doing OK. 👍
These Cleaning Videos Give Me Lot Of Relaxation Of My Mind.
Glad to hear, I hope they help. Please subscribe, phill
Brilliant video yet again Phil. It also showed a sneak peak of the van! A van set up video would be great to see your latest set up matey. Give me some more ideas lol. Thanks pal
Good to see a video from you Phil great video as always
Ta very much. I'm trying to think of ways to make new interesting content but. Will try get some more up soon.
@@DirtyDriveAway the content you already make is what we all love
Great work👍 what's the flash pressure reducer looks gd ? Have you got a link? Cheers M
Nice job Phil, do you always turbo crazy paving or sometimes flat surface cleaner? Did you say your using glasses to record Vid, if so what are they as the quality is real good 👍
Ps nice wrist action with the XJet 😀
I'm using a new twin jet rotary nozzle in this video. It's a lot less aggressive than singles and cleans really fast, probably as good as the falch but at much lower RPM on the motor. Got to save fuel in these hard times lol. The mortar was a bit iffy so I opted not to use the FSC as there may have been risk of damage. I'm using bear grylls video glasses, they the only ones I've tried that actual shoot 1080p. I've tried Chinese ones are they are tut. Gotta get the wrist action right 😅
Hi Phil when you get a chance could you please film your set up in the back of the van and what equipment you use I think it has been a good few years since you have done this you look to have updated your pressure washing equipment since the last video you filmed👍
I'm still running the same washer. Just always doing mods and trying new gear.
@@DirtyDriveAway Thanks for the reply when you get a chance maybe you could film a you tube video of the the different lances, trigger guns and nozzles you use I think you have updated these since your last you tube video thanks 👍
@@Josh-fk8ml if I get chance I'll try get an updated video.
@@DirtyDriveAway Thanks Phil👍
Phill will know actually who this is his we friend from Belfast in Ireland.
But anuff about me it's the Phillips show.lol
Uploading his first video of the NEW season 2022.
Phil has done a lot for me and my family and I will be forever grateful my chum.
I will have do send some potato bread your way again lol
Take care all the family an have a great season. Ps actually amazing job your getting better.
Hey chris, how's my Irish friend doing. Hope your well.
Great to see more videos Phil! You still enjoying the x-jet?
Yeah it's a good tool. I'm now able to wind the flow rate and pressure down to around 12lpm which gives much better control which saves on the hypo usage.
@@DirtyDriveAway thanks Phil, are you winding down the flow rate on the pressure washer to get better control? I have the x-jet but very new to using it. Thanks
@@strongteee yeah I have a pair of flow control valves on the machine. I can have the machine on full throttle but wind the pressure and flow down to around 12lpm using the valves.
Shame they didn’t get walls done to great job 👍👍
Hey Phil, What ratio of hypo do you usually put down after a job? I am trying to save a bit more chemical as my supplier has put it up 120%!
it's gone up silly amount hasn't it. mines jumped nearly 50% in a year. I use 3:1 mix so 25% hypo to 75% water for general deep cleaning. You could possibly go slightly less maybe 4:1 but anything weaker and i don't think it would do much in the short space of time its usually down for. phill
Hi Phil, what is your recording set up?
4k camcorder and video glasses.
Hey Phil, Hear people say on the forums that pressure washing is relaxing? Surely it's pretty hard graft isn't it as there's plenty of sweeping up the slop involved as well as working a lance for hours at a time must surely cause ware & tear on the old limbs?
It can be relaxing, but it can also be bloody hard work. Yes the limbs take a toll, especially the hands.
Hi Phil, Do you find the majority of your jobs are done within say 4 - 5 hours?
Also what would you say is the earliest you could start in a morning due to the noise of the pressure washer? Thanks
Yeah most jobs a few hours. I usually start around 9.30 and after 10 on sundays
Hi Phil, I’m just starting up and I’m struggling to find a good supplier for SH and other chemicals. Can you recommend anyone pls TIA. Steven
Hi Phil, what do you do with the dirt on the pathway and do you just wash the chem down the drain?
The dirt gets rinsed to the drain. In the case of block pave or heavy weeds/moss, then it's scrapped up and taken away. Chem is just rinsed to a drain, the water dilutes it, and sodium hypochlorite is commonly used around the home, which gets washed down the drain/toilet, etc.
@@DirtyDriveAway thanks for the reply. Just bingeing your videos lol
@@alanmcgrady2513 ha ha, enjoy.
The driveway looks new but why not do the side wall and the garden edges.
I only clean what the customer asks me to clean. If they don't want the walls doing then that's up to them. The wall tops belonged to the neighbour and the customer wasn't fussed about the walls being done.
Hi Phil, I’m just starting up and I’m struggling to find a supplier for SH and other chemicals. Can you recommend anyone. TIA. Steven
Very hard at the moment as there seems to be a massive supply issue, combine that with the huge increase in price over the last 12 months. Some people use bonnymans online but even then I think they aren't holding stock. Due to the supply issues any local pool chem firms have hiked the price right up. I've seen drums of hypo for in excess of £60. It's the shipping that pumps the price up as its a hazardous material and needs to go special courier. If you can try and find a local supplier where you can collect. Just make sure it's fresh stuff otherwise it won't work very well.
@@DirtyDriveAway thanks Phil, how do I tell if it’s a fresh batch?
@@baldy8107 not easy, I mean if the company sells a lot it will be fresh but I've tried some of the ebay stuff and it's been watered down. I have a SH test kit that I use if I've had some for a while. I can then guage how much I can dilute by. SH has a half life of 3-6months depending how its stored.
They say you should re-sand drives after PRESSURE washing if they are drives with sand in between the bricks. Is that true? And if so, do you also have to re-sand after doing a SOFT wash on a driveway that has sand in between the bricks
Yes block pave driveways have fine sand between the joints that gets washed out when pressure cleaning. Soft wash does sod all to block paving as it won't remove moss and weeds from the joints.
@@DirtyDriveAway Thanks. But what if the block paved driveway had no moss, no weeds growing out of it and was not too dirty, would a soft wash with chemicals clean it sufficiently? And if so, would the sand wash out of the joints from a soft wash in the same way sand washes out after doing a pressure wash?
@@jman5434 you won't loose as much. I mean even with a softwash your supposed to give it a good rinse down otherwise the dirt just sits on the blocks and looks patchy. You would be OK to not re sand if soft washing.
Thanks for the advice
People seem to have different views regarding surface cleaners. It seems a big clumsy bit of kit to carry in an average sized van. Could you happily go through the season without using it Phil? ...or maybe some jobs are cut in half with its speed and efficiency? Also does having a boiler set-up make a surface cleaner any more useful say for Indian sandstone etc..?
Boilers only really good if you actually need hot water. All my jobs are domestic and I don't need it. Plus the fact a boiler for my machine is about £3500 plus fitting, then additional running costs. FSC's are useful but yes quite big, they are much quicker than a conventional lance if used properly.
May I suggest a tripod. I couldn’t finish watching - the jerky movements were making me dizzy.
I have a tripod this is called POV, its filmed with video glasses so you see what I see. I have loads of other videos filmed on a tripod but they are single angle so you don't get the same action.
I know this a yr old, however, it is painful to watch you clean this driveway beautifully but you don’t clean the top of the dividing wall 🙈😱😩
The dividing wall belongs to the neighbour. I asked the customer and was told to leave it. I can only do what I'm asked.
@@DirtyDriveAway i understand. This happens often and we don’t know until we ask, Please inform us in the video it was requested to to be left alone for whatever reasons because it is really noticeable!!
Nice to watch on mute
