Wanted: to borrow a Karcher pressure washer


Recommended Posts

A friend has loaned us their Phil & Teds double buggy for the imminent arrival of our second baby & our toddler (I'm hoping that we won't need to buy one & that my 2.5 year old will eventually be happier on a buggy board or scooter). The buggy itself is in great condition but it's a bit grubby... Looking online it looks as though the fastest way to clean it without damaging the fabric is to use a pressure washer.

Does anyone have one that I could borrow? I would be very grateful & would return it with a bottle of wine/chocolates!

I don't have a pressure washer to lend you but I did just cave and buy a second hand one as my toddler is only 18 months and will never last long on a buggy board... But ours smelled VERY strongly of curry so we stripped it and washed EVERY bit of material on the gentle cycle - looks great now! Just need to pay attention when taking it apart...

Hope that helps!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other.  
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
