Hi everyone

Has anyone any recommendations for either Karcher or Sterwins pressure washers.

Thinking of buying one to clean my terrace floor tiles but not sure what make or wattage to buy in Spain.

Thank you if you can help me.

Karcher is widely known in Spain. Look for "alquiler de maquinaria de construcción" and rent it.

Is it not expensive to rent it?

Hi Joanne,

I used a Karcher pressure washer on  all the tiles in our  house surrounds, and pool surrounds and even on  stone walls etc. Worked very well, but downside, so beware, the pressure tore up all the grouting between the tiles !

We have had our Karcher washer for a few years back in Aus.  Does a great job on our balcony.

Hi. Yes that is what I'm afraid of. Was thinking of getting one with a patio circular brush. I need to look into it!
