Pressure Washer Cleaning Tips

Depending on what you’re cleaning, each application has its own specific procedure. Here are some general things to remember:

• Always use the right nozzle. Using a nozzle    that concentrates too much power can harm    some surfaces, especially wood.

• Use a chemical recommended by the manufacturer. Most manufacturers have detergents and waxes approved for use in their equipment. Different formulas are available for houses, decks, degreasing, and car washing/waxing.

• Cleaning a house is best done from ground level, rather than on a ladder. Use accessories such as spray arm extensions and brushes for   this type of project.

• Cleaning results vary based on:

  • Whether or not you use detergent.

  • How far you are from the surface being cleaned.

  • How high the water pressure is.

  • How wide you set the spray angle.

  • What the air temperature is.

  • Whether your using a hot or a cold water machine
