AS I said, not one of those sites says 'paver'

except ebay, and ebay as a source of correctly spelled words? Purlease?

pavior
Pronunciation: /ˈp�vyər/
(also British paviour)
noun
1A paving stone.
Example sentences
1.1A person who lays paving stones.

That bog standard herringbone pattern is the one the local councils
are putting on tenants drives around here.

So why don't you lot pour a concrete slab like we do ?

Taste.

They do it because its cheaper!

About 90% of the cost is in the stuff under the road/pavement not in the
covering.

Then why the **** does anyone ever used grey plain paving slabs?

Yeah, that's the big advantage of poured concrete, no maintenance

Fine if you want your place to look like a council house.

None of the council houses here have anything like that.

It never is. It is MUCH more expensive because it is MUCH more labour

do that, it looks nicer.

Looks chavvy and is a lot more work to get rid of the weeds and to clean.

Don't need to do a damned thing with poured concrete done properly,
at most hose the dirt off it if you park on it with muddy tires etc.

FFS! Jet washers dilute detergents to about 3%

That won't have any effect whatsoever, other than creating a lot of bubbles! And if not rinsed off thoroughly it can leave a residue that attracts dirt.

General rule; Use washing up liquid for washing up, not patios.

A jetwash washes by brute force, no chemicals are necessary. It should take anything off a driveway all by itself.

If you Google it, Dave, a lot of people advocate using a bit of washing up
liquid. This has worked fine up until now and also works when I jet wash the
drive - once per year.
Mind you, I've always used a bit of washing up liquid so I would not really
know if it makes any difference.
Do You think that patio cleaner is any good?
One bloke here thinks not.

Does anybody know if patio cleaner really works?

You jet washed it with washing up liquid?????

FFS! Jet washers dilute detergents to about 3%

That won't have any effect whatsoever, other than creating a lot of
bubbles! And if not rinsed off thoroughly it can leave a residue that
attracts dirt.

General rule; Use washing up liquid for washing up, not patios.

A jetwash washes by brute force, no chemicals are necessary. It should
take anything off a driveway all by itself.

True enough, although a pre spray can speed the job up. But not washing
up liquid!

If you Google it, Dave, a lot of people advocate using a bit of washing up
liquid. This has worked fine up until now and also works when I jet wash the
drive - once per year.

There are an awful lot of halfwits on Google in that case.


Mind you, I've always used a bit of washing up liquid so I would not really
know if it makes any difference.

I assumed that you had used that for washing your dishes.

Washing up liquid is for common people. Dishwasher tablets and one press of
a button is all I need to do the dishes.

His house is too small for a dishwasher.
