How we'd approach this in Cornwood

  1. 1Hot wash on greasy areas - useful around the bin store on moorland village properties
  2. 2Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to granite cottages and moorland farmhouses
  3. 3Drain protection in place before trigger pulls - matters near local lanes off A38 run-off
  4. 4Pressure dialled down at the perimeter to protect lawn edges on moorland village gardens
  5. 5Grout joints checked before any pressure on flagged areas of granite cottages and moorland farmhouses
