I have some customers that every once in a while they want the asphalt parking lot rinsed off, it is just dirt and rock so the parking lot does not look as good as it did.
The asphalt is porous so dirt does get in there, don't need pressure just rinsing here.
I thought of a water broom at an angle to push the dirt away at an angle, just have to change out the nozzles and angle the broom but not sure if it would work and then it is only about 16" wide, some of these areas to be rinsed are up to 15,000sq.ft. more or less.
A surface cleaner is not needed as the dirt is not embedded.
A firehose is overkill, not that much dirt to need something like that and there is no hydrant near the area, plus it would flood their property which they don't want.
I am sure I am not the only person out there to try to think of a better way to rinse these asphalt parking lots faster.
I was even thinking of using my vacuum recovery surface cleaner, just change out the nozzles for lower pressure nozzles but not sure if it would pick up all the dirt fast enough plus there are a lot of rocks there, I guess I could use a leaf blower first.
Wanding the parking lot does ok but there are low spots there which kill time, sometimes you are fighting against the wind, sometimes you have to rinse the same area as the water and dirt move sideways as you rinse which is another big time killer.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.
