What is the best way to clean a pea gravel surface?

Answer 1

Throw a few buckets of hot soapy water on a damp slab, let it set a bit............then hit it with a pressure washer....works great around this house......we bought a pressure washer that only kicks out 2000 psi.......and that is perfect for around the house use.........The big ones are great.....if you don't mind holes in your gutters and roofing sidewalls and screens cut in half on your windows:) Have fun they are great.

Answer 2

If it is leaves and other debris then all you need is your trusty leaf blower. Don't get it too close. It will shoot those things like a bullet.

If it is oil, dirt, etc., use a pump sprayer with straight Mean Green in it. Spray it on generously then rinse with a hose.

MG is safe for the environment and will not hurt or kill any plants in the area. In fact, it helps get the water to the roots faster.

This really depends on what it has on it that needs to be cleaned. If it is oil or grease, I recommend using pine oil. Just pour it on full strength and scrub with a brush, then hose it off.

If it is mold and mildew I would spray it down with a solution of 30 parts chlorine bleach and 70 parts water. Just spray it on, let it set a short time then hose it off with a hard stream of water.
