  1. 1Hot wash on greasy areas - useful around the bin store on rural village properties
  2. 2Pressure dialled down at the perimeter to protect lawn edges on rural village gardens
  3. 3Grout joints checked before any pressure on flagged areas of stone cottages and farmhouses
  4. 4Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped Quethiock sites
  5. 5Salt-loaded surfaces hot-washed twice on moderate elevations in Quethiock
