Wash Boy

[Varley]

2 wheels!! You've got yours upside down pal.

And Varley, yours had non for months until i put them on for you - lazy git!

Wash boy - fantastic until some bint wants you to use black grout.

Cleaning it out after reminds me of fighting over the PVA pots to pick out at school.

Aye, now the bugger moves all over when i try to use it :wink_smile: . Got to chase it round the floor, keeps me fit though 🙂

I got the 4wd version from Karl Dahm..............it did'nt come with wheels.........they were extra :icon9:

Great bit of kit on large floors.

I also got a doz extra sponges from Tradetiler.

Wait until you get a rough stone floor, your'll understand then. Rips them to shreds

Lol Brum....this weren't my first post mate....... fill it up just above the crate (about 20-30mm) or if you prefere take the tray out altogether (this is what i do) it dont matter too much as all the grout and other stuff sinks anyway mate.

thats how u get a few of they sponge pads for washing off one for walls one for normal grey grout one for black

The tray (grid) is there to help agitate the sponge to remove more grout particles, also if you dont fill it too far above the grid you can do your washing off with dry hands as only the sponge bit gets wet not the handle.

Mine is a Karl Dahm and it has got 4 wheels, you can lock them so that it doesn't move about. Not had much problem cleaning it yet, I empty out most of the water, let the sediment dry and then just scrape it out, giving a final clean with a sponge.
