Update. Been now told jet washing is a no-no, so now holding off for
quotes to have the area properly cleaned (probably 'class H' vacuumed).


You don't want high pressure water as it blows the dust everywhere -
just lots of low pressure water. The ideal device is a watering can
with a rose sprinkler on it and about a teaspoon full of washing up
liquid to each can of wate. The washing up liquid acts a s a wetting
agent ensuring the dust doesn't blow about..
