Incredible Power Washing Video Transforms Dirty Signs Like New

An impressive video recently surfaced on Imgur, showcasing the transformative power of a power washer on dirty street signs, captivating viewers and sparking a flurry of comments. The video, titled "Like new," demonstrates a high-pressure cleaning tool blasting away grime, revealing a spotless sign underneath.

One user suggested, "Keep rolling and hit up the b158 to Hertford. Good driving to be had," highlighting the potential for this cleaning method to improve driving visibility. Another chimed in humorously, "but what bout the poles? don't they deserve to be clean too? or do you like your poles dirty?"

The video has resonated with many viewers, particularly those from the UK, as one noted, "There are so many in the UK that need this." Others found a personal connection, with one user stating, "I grew up only a mile or so from this very sign! Bizarre to see it here. +1," and another recalling, "Oh hey, I used to work at Potters Bar."

Interestingly, the video has even sparked some international discussions. A comment recounted a peculiar incident in Germany, "In Germany a man was fined for doing this. Something about 'damaging the signs, using not the ideal soap.' But the city's solution was to completely replace dirty signs instead of cleaning them, so stupid."

The cleaning prowess of the power washer even led one enthusiastic commenter to draw a parallel to their favorite game, "PowerWash Simulator is hands down the best game I own!" Meanwhile, another user humorously reflected on the tool's potential beyond physical cleaning, "I need one of those to clean the dirt in my mind. And even then I'm not sure it will do that well."

This video also drew attention to the origins of the signs, with one noting, "At least in Finland these signs are made by prison labor. Which explains why the orthography in them is not always up to the standards of the Institute for the Languages of Finland."

The video's rapid cleaning process left many impressed, "That is some really fast cleaning," one user exclaimed. Another viewer thanked the uploader for the inspiration, "Added to my power washing folder, thank you!"

For those fascinated by the intersection of cleanliness and technology, the video stands as a testament to the efficiency and satisfaction of a good power wash. Whether for practical use on street signs or virtual enjoyment in a game, the allure of seeing something transformed from dirty to spotless is universally appealing.
