Pressure washers are powerful cleaning tools that remove built-up dirt, mold or debris from your home’s exterior and other outdoor surfaces such as decks, driveways, fences, and patios. You can also use pressure washers to clean windows, drains, grills, cars and trucks, and much more.
What equipment do I need to pressure wash?
Apart from an electric or gas pressure washer, there are also several pressure washer parts and accessories you can use to customize your cleaning solutions. You may need pressure washing gear like multi-function nozzles, pressure washer detergents, gutter cleaners, rotary surface cleaners, upgraded spray guns, and soap nozzles. It’s also important to wear protective gear such as goggles and gloves while doing the job.
What do I need to know before I get started with pressure washing?
Before you start pressure washing, it’s important to study the surface and the area that you will be cleaning. Avoid high-voltage spots and electrical lines, and shut off any electrical components. Before you start, thoroughly clean the surface and ensure you’re using the right nozzle. Anytime you begin a new cleaning task, give a quick test spray to ensure that you won’t damage the area. It’s also important that you wear the right protective equipment while using the pressure washer.
