Give your home and property a face-lift with pressure washing services to clean the deck, patio, driveway, or siding. Keep on reading to discover our craftsmen’s favorite 5 tips about pressure washing.

Pressure Washing Tips

1. Pressure washers are versatile. Wash different surfaces with cleaners such as soaps, detergents, and cleaners to get that deep clean, and new look. Test different products on a small corner of your surface before cleaning to make sure no discoloring occurs.
2. Eye and hearing protection is a must. Pressure washing is not only loud, especially with the gas-powered ones, but debris can be thrown into the air and potentially get into and harm your eyes if you do not have protection. Think ahead and avoid risks.
3. Before you clean a surface, test the pressure washing equipment on it to make sure the pressure is correct, you have the right nozzle, and there is no damage caused.
4. Pressure washer nozzles are color-coded to label their angle and pressure. Different ones are better suited for specific jobs and situations.
5. Clean your surface evenly. Do not overlap your spray strokes because this can leave watermarks. Do not hold the sprayer in one spot for too long because this can cause damage. Take your time and work at a steady pace.

Get rid of the dirt and grime with an efficient pressure washing service or do it yourself. With different tool attachments, cleaners, precautions, and practice, you will be able to clean your drive or siding with ease. These 5 tips should help you understand the process better before you begin. Get to work and enjoy the results in no time!
