How to Clean Pool Surrounds Without Contaminating Water
Pool surrounds in Western Sydney take a lot of punishment. Suburbs such as Penrith, Parramatta, Blacktown, Camden and the Hills District regularly see summer temperatures well above 35°C, heavy UV exposure, afternoon storms and plenty of dust, pollen and leaf litter.

What Is the Best PSI for Washing Painted Timber Fences?
When cleaning a painted timber fence, striking the right balance between cleaning power and surface protection is essential. The best pressure setting for washing painted timber fences is between 500 and 1,200 PSI . Exceeding this range risks gouging the wood fibres, stripping the paint layers, and forcing moisture deep into the timber grain, which can accelerate wood rot.
