Cleaning Sandstone with Pressure Washer

Hi!
i have a nursery who want me to clean children's chalk drawings off the outside of their building. it's sandstone so quite a soft stone. is it likely to cause me problems if i use as light pressure as i can? will even a fan jet eat thru the sand?
thanks
richard

1. Pre wet with water.
2. Apply a High Alkaline cleaner diluted 4:1.
3. Allow to dwell 15 minutes.
4. Whip over it with a mono rotary fitted with a soft to medium brush.
5. Then rinse and vacuum up.
Then offer to seal if you want to. A lot less mess to clean up than PW and no damage

Won't a mono be a bit heavy on this building - mines only 40 kgs as well
Most walls are vertical Kev
