Household Appliances

I have been having great fun this morning with a power washer. I bought it a couple of weeks ago for about £30 as we are in the process of doing up the garden. I thought it would be handy to clean the path and decorative walls with.

I have used it for the first time today to jet wash the wheelie bin which had developed a nasty smell and was housing a family of slugs..

What fun it was..... I have also tested it on part of the wall and all I can say is that I wish that I hadn't had a shower before doing this because I now need another one.

The muck that came off the bin and the wall was unbelieveable and it was brilliant to use. The only problem was that I must have developed a bit of back pressure in the hose and have soaked a fair bit of the kitchen. I do, however believe that I now have the cleanest wheelie bin in the borough.

This is my new favourite household appliance.. What's yours and why?

Hehehe.... Never thought of that one, there's plenty of dirt left I'll get right on it. I'm going to have to do some major mopping up in the kitchen before sparks gets home from work though..

I got it at Asda at Easter. It may have been on special offer but they were £20 dearer at Homebase at the time.

I also love the powerwasher, usually use it on the car but last week I did the decking, what a difference it makes. The dishwasher is also a favourtite of mine though didn't want one at first, love it now.
