Really want to speed up and make it easy, spray down your surfaces with a foam cannon filled with a mix of either bleach and water at 50/50 or pool chlorinator 10% and water 50/50, add a few squirts of Dawn blue soap into the mix and let it rip. Spray down the area you're trying to clean, let it sit for a few minutes and wash off. Let the chemical soap do the work, not you. Those mixes will help kill any algae or growth you want to get rid of. Especially if you live in the south.
Great to see a satisfied user of one of these. I've been on the fence about purchasing since I see so many negative product reviews for various models of these small application surface cleaners. I'll mention one thing, it’s my understanding is the "brush around the edge" is really not for scrubbing but a skirt to keep the water in/under the unit and allows lower friction so it can be moved around easier than just scraping the plastic shell on the ground.
Great point about the brushes, Robert. You're more than likely right about that. I just can't help myself from 'scrubbing' with them. That said, I'm into my second year of using it and it's still working beautifully!
Really well done -- THANKS! We just ordered one of these since it's considered "universal," for our SunJoe SPX3200 (which we are happy with). Sure hope it fits. Per reviews, this seems to be about twice as good yet half the price of the SJ accessory. Thanks again.
@@longsleevethong1457 Thank you. And YES, it certainly does. It does a terrific job on old mildewed sidewalks and even - with a little care - our old wooden deck. Far better than hoped for.
I fell into one of these a few years ago after my kids read my amazon wish list and got me the man free (tired of begging for the gas one to be fixed) pressure washer aka greenworks 1501. I've used it all over campground patio, home patio, friends borrow it best $30 I've ever spent!!
I just bought my Greenworks from Amazon (slightly less expensive than Costco) to add to my other Greenworks tools. This week might be nice enough for me to test this on my walk up and backyard side walk. Thank you for the tip about the paper clip, I prob would not have thought of that and poof.. mine would've been gone :)
I've never used the detergent. I'm not crazy about the chemicals getting into my grass. I find if I wet the area first, it helps loosen the algae and it comes off pretty easily.
I have the 1700 PSI Greenworks pressure washer. I am thinking about getting the Greenworks surface cleaner since it looks easier and faster. Do I need to purchase extension wand attachment? Thanks for sharing
Try the ryobi water broom attachment to push all the dirty water off what you just cleaned. The more jets on the attachment, the less water pressure behind them. Pressure washer wand - 1 jet. Surface cleaner - 2 jets. Ryobi water broom - 3 jets. The water broom is good for lighter cleaning or quick maintenance , but it works best to push everything off of the surface you just did an aggressive cleaning on. Well worth $50.
Hi DIY Maggie (or anyone else). First, a very nice review! I just picked up this surface cleaner and looking to get started. Question - does anyone know of an extension wand that will fit this Greenworks 2300 Pro to help wash an upper level /2nd story? Thanks
Anything to make a "housewife's" job easier!! 😂 With time saved on power washing I'll have time to change the drain pump on my washing machine & rotate my tires!
@@diymaggie LOL! This weekend I'm changing the water inlet valve on the back of my fridge, after doing all the diagnostics on the broken ice maker. Ya, that's me-another poor little damsel in distress housewife!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hey Todd! I've only used it one more time since I made the video. I haven't used it yet this season. I'll let ya know! Even if it doesn't work, I think I got my $29 out of it. I have a LOT of surfaces to clean.
True that!! I think this year Lowe’s has it listed at $39 but I’m with you worth a try!! New sub, looking forward to hearing and seeing more of you! Cheers Todd
Just a comment on the technique. Move the head slower and let the nozzles do the work. Moving back and forth rapidly does not help since you're not "scrubbing" the surface. Same for vacuuming with "beater bar" power head. Go slow and let the beater bar do the work for you.
Sorry, but this is basically good for 1 or 2 real jobs, then it’s a throw away item. I think all,of these sub 40 dollar units are the same junk. I bought one, and it works, but the center spinny bit wears out and you can’t fix it. Once it starts leaking you lose a lot of pressure at the tips. It seems that at a 75 dollar starting point , they start jumping a lot in quality. Don’t buy a Bushing type center hub. Sealed Bearings if you want it to last more than a couple of uses.
Mine never worked, it would not spin, the tips would just leak and spray water everywhere. No, it's not clogged, it was like that out of the box. Complete junk.
That’s why the good Lord provided the “return” section. Works well with returning “man made” defective items and replacing with items that aren’t defective. Try it.
You gotta pair the equipment….this video paired a 1600psi machine with a 2300 psi attachment….don’t make this mistake. This video is egregiously misleading.
@@MaggiesMusings you:…everything I don’t like and anyone who disagrees with me is a “MiSoGyNiSt” lol….living with estrogen must suck. Jfc y’all are so emotional lol. And what I said went straight over your head too….wow payasa

Yes your machine will support this attachment unlike her 1600 psi machine. Yours will work much much better
@@longsleevethong1457 Thank you. And YES, it certainly does. It does a terrific job on old mildewed sidewalks and even - with a little care - our old wooden deck. Far better than hoped for.

You're very welcome! My pool deck is grungy again. I'll be pulling my cleaner out as soon as the weather is nice. I love mine!
Thank you so much for this video, well done and you really helped me decide whether to buy it or not. :)
You're very welcome! It's really a great little attachment! 😊
You're welcome! I responded using my other channel - oops! I love my attachment. It works great for me :)
Just got a surface cleaner with 3 wheels and it made it so much faster and smoother to used than the kind you have which i also have.
Nice work looking forward to get one
I'm really glad I tried it. Really made the job quicker!
I found one on market place for 5$ im gonna go and buy it thank you
@@OrlandoLizama Wow! That's a bargain! I love mine!

Thank you 🥰
Iol….you’re running a 2300 psi washer with a 1600psi machine.
So? It's compatible with up to 2000psi machines. I see you also posted your snide remarks on my other channel. Misogynistic creeper.
