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.

Deciding What Improvements to Make
As a Handyman, I am often asked by clients, "If I do this project, how much will it increase the value of my home?" Fair question, but like most questions, the answer can be vague and inaccurate if not taken in a larger context.

You'll Really Love Slate Siding Tiles
Slate siding tiles are naturally rich in visual appeal and long-lasting quality. It's no wonder that they are favored choice for many types of buildings and homes today. They might initially cost more compared to other types of sidings, but the benefits of slate siding tiles will really justify the expense.

How Re-Piping Can Improve a Home's Value
When you re-pipe your home or purchasing a home that has been re-piped the fixtures are not always changed, just the pipes themselves. The value of the home goes up because there is new plumbing in what could be a twenty year old house. This gives it at least in one area a new status.
