Got a Pressure Washer? You Need to Know About Clean Art
September 7, 2017 | Pressure Washer Maintenance, Tips & Advice | No comments
We’ve discovered something new that you can do with your pressure washer. And we’re suitably impressed. Clean art (also known as reverse graffiti or green graffiti) is a thing and a thing of beauty.
What’s “clean art” when it’s at home then?
Traditional art is made by adding to paint to a surface, but clean art is different; it takes away instead of adding. Dirt is washed away from a wall or floor using a pressure washer to create beautiful pictures and patterns.
But show don’t tell! We’ve got some examples for you to see for yourself.

Expert in the clean art arena, Manou Bendon who’s based in London actually does it for a living. The pictures above show two projects he’s completed for Daniel Shea at the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show (left) and Transport for London (right).

However, this type of concrete embellishment isn’t just for the professionals. You can decorate your very own patio or pathway using your pressure washer.

Possibly the most impressive example we came across was created by Imgur user Regoapps (Allen Wong) who decided that instead of cleaning his paving slabs he was going to create something rather more super.

Pinterest user Jill Webb pressure washed a beautiful design onto a patio using doormats as a stencil. We love this innovation!
Matthew Swab
Geometric shapes were the key feature of Matthew’s driveway and path designs.
Ron Jelich
Ron’s path art is absolutely Kraken. In fact, it’s so tentacle-tastic you have to sea it to believe it.
Stuart Conway
We couldn’t bel-leaf how adept Stuart is at pressure washing this tree design free-hand.
