We have a bathroom upstairs that is the “Kids Bathroom” and the kids are fully responsible for cleaning it. If you don’t clean it, you shower in it anyway.
So, they have been a little lax over the summer and suddenly with short notice they have a kid coming to stay for the weekend and he will need a place to shower. I let my boys know it was their responsibility to get things cleaned up in time.
I came home yesterday and hear a strange noise coming from upstairs. My boys had taken my power washer up to the bathroom, tossed the hose up through the second story window and were power washing the tub and shower. (Electric power washer so no CO concerns)
It worked amazingly well and they had it sparkling in no time flat. I really felt like I should take a six pack up to them and hang out for a bit… I couldn’t be prouder.
That’s … actually rather clever. Provided they haven’t actually etched the fiberglass. And I wouldn’t try it on tile, because it would be hell on loose caulk.
I showed them how to rig a hanger so the tank wouldn’t fill up and used a bucket to add enough water to make it “flush” without refilling and they did power wash inside the bowl. It actually would have been much easier with a brush and cleaner, but not nearly as much fun.
Was I the only one to read the title, and then this far into the post, before I realised this thread was totally not what I thought it was going to be about? Not that I have ever, um, experimented with power washers myself. Anyway, glad the story had a happy ending :).
There was a house I used to drive by that was obviously a Household of Guys. The topper to all the things I saw there was driving past to see them… hosing out the refrigerator in the driveway.
