Give the cleaner a coarse bristled brush...the long handle type. Then all he needs do is wet once, brush a little, then use an outdoor broom to swish the dirty water away...maybe just adding a little more water. In the video he's using the power jet as a water source as well as abrasive tool, the latter of which is highly ineffective and inefficient as the forceful area of the jet is very small...like cleaning a tennis court with a toothbrush.

The tennis court at College Green is an outdoor court that requires regular jet washing to remove algae growth on the flooring. As this court is frequently used by the residents in the evenings, we take great care to ensure that it is safe and clean for any tennis games. Washing the floor using the high pressure water power jet is a low cost and effective way to remove algae and particles on the floor. The jet nozzle restricts the flow of water and releases it at high pressure to remove stubborn residues. Water consumption of this system is relatively low compared to other algae removal methods. In UGL Premas, we care for the environment and advocate green practices in facilities management. At the same time, we place importance to the safety of the residents living in the properties we manage. We are always mindful of our environment while we manage the facilities for our clients.

United Premas could've just hired us students to clean it with brooms. Hehe :-) Zak Hi neighbor,
