Take a better question to the hire counter.
Redcap does not pretend every job has one magic tool. It narrows the hire conversation so you can check exact stock, accessories, PPE and safety guidance with the provider.
Ask it like this
“I need to clean a sandstone patio, about 25 m², with rear-garden access and no outside tap. What kit class, accessories, PPE and stop conditions should I confirm before hiring?”
