  Do you have decorative brick work or natural stone that you need to clean but are afraid you could damage it? You should be weary, as it is very easy to damage if you do not clean it correctly. Improper use of cleaning chemicals can destroy it, discolor it, and ruin it. Using the wrong kind of brush can do the same thing. Cleaning it with a pressure washer could be your best bet, but if you use the wrong pressure tip, all bets are off on that too.

The biggest problem with using a pressure washers come from inappropriately choosing the wrong tip. For instance a "zero tip" will dig a horrible hole, which is just terrible unless you are attempting to drill a hole for an anchor iron to hang something. The zero tip could cut off someone's finger if it were used as a weapon. Another common tip to use is the 15 degree tip, most all pressure washers, even the little electric, Chinese built home units often have these.

And although these little units only have 800 to 1500 psi, with a zero tip, if you get too close to the natural stone you can very easily cause permanent damage. Thus, I recommend keeping the pressure wand 12 inches away at all times when cleaning natural brick and to choose a 25 degree tip or larger, I recommend a 45 degree tip just to play it safe.

The second problem with folks that clean natural brick is using the wrong chemicals that can permanently stain the brick, so it's best to use a semi-hard bristle brush, soap and water and a 45 degree pressure washing tip at the end of the gun or wand.

Over-expanding- One of the first and most common mistakes you may fall prey to when you are starting home improvement projects is going overboard when renovating.

Given current house prices, many people can no longer afford to move home in order to gain more much needed space. Instead they are looking at adding additional rooms to their existing homes, but a full height extension may also be too expensive, particularly if they are only looking for one extra room. A conservatory is one solution, but increasingly, homeowners are choosing to add an orangery instead - which is not only a beautiful option, but can also be more practical and of longer term value.

It is hard to know exactly what to do during a home remodel if you have never gone through one before. When beginning any major renovation job around the home it is best to gather advice and information from many sources on the dos and don'ts. Below you will find some money and time saving tips to ensure your project starts and ends on the right track.
