    ANyone got a better way of cleaning / washing pebbles? I have a client who wants their pebbles washed??? WTF?
    I was prety sure someone said to put the pebble onto shade cloth. vinegar, and wash them down then lay them again???
    I like the idea of just dropping new pebbles but cant do it with this one

    avoid it. I got screwed doing that exact job in a clean up. I basically done it in a wheel barrow a few loads at a time soaked in water
    I dont break things ...I just use them beyond their operational limitations

    maybe a low pressure one, otherwise it just kicks up the dirt under the rocks basically ...tried doing it myself lol but with a 4000psi aussie pumps monster ...didn't work as well as id hoped

    Try mixing some liquid chlorine into a spray bottle and spray it on, then hose off after 10 minutes or whatever it takes to clean them.

    Yep. Mild Chlorine and Sugar Soap solution would be worth a shot. I subcontract a guy to do housewashes and that's what he uses. If the pebbles are badly stained by red-soil though it will be a bit more difficult.
