Buy TurboJet in Melbourne

Why Melbourne homes get dirty so fast

Cool, damp winters grow moss on south-facing brick and bluestone, and pollen season leaves a film on outdoor furniture.

That matters when you choose a cleaning tool. Grime that returns every few weeks is not a job for something you have to unpack, plug in and prime — it is a job for something that connects to the hose in about eight seconds and lives in a drawer the rest of the time. Most Melbourne customers tell us the difference is not how hard the tool cleans, but how often they actually get around to using it.

The surfaces we get asked about most in Melbourne

• Bluestone paving and kerbing
• Red brick paving and paths
• Hardwood decking
• Concrete driveways with brick edging
• Rendered and weatherboard walls

Bluestone laneways and paths, brick paving, decking, bin areas and winter mould on rendered walls.

When to clean in Melbourne

Clean in early spring rather than mid-winter. Surfaces never dry properly through a Melbourne winter, so algae comes straight back; wait for the first run of dry days.

The mistake to avoid locally

Using a close jet on bluestone. It is softer than it looks and will mark, so keep the fan head on the stone faces and work the joints with the jet at a shallow angle.

The general rule holds everywhere: concentrated jet at 10–20cm for concrete, pavers, joints, wheels and bins; wide fan head at 30cm or more for render, timber, glass, sealed stone and vehicle paint. Pre-wet the surface, wait two minutes, then work in overlapping passes and finish with a full rinse so the loosened grime leaves with the water.

Water restrictions in VIC

Rules for washing hard surfaces and vehicles are set by your Melbourne retailer (Yarra Valley Water, South East Water or Greater Western Water) and your local council, and they tighten and relax with seasonal conditions. Check their current position before cleaning driveways and paths rather than relying on what applied last summer. TurboJet concentrates the flow your tap already delivers and shuts off between passes, so jobs finish faster — but it cannot exceed what your mains supply provides, and it is not exempt from local restrictions.
