Pressure
Washer Q & A
Want to
revive the look of your home? Try using a pressure washer.
Pressure washers can help you get rid of mold and dirt that
your house has accumulated over the years. As a starter,
here are a few answers to questions you may have:
Q: How do I clean high spots
with a pressure washer?
A: Most pressure washers have a
special nozzle that shoots chemicals at higher positions.
As a general rule of thumb, shooting at a smaller angle will
deliver the most pressure. When rinsing the chemicals off,
use an 18-24 foot extension pole. Anything shorter than
that will not reach.
Q: Can I use bleach in my
pressure washer?
A: Never use any chemicals that
are not approved for your pressure washer. Using unapproved
detergents or solutions may be hazardous to your environment
and damage your pressure washer. You should always check to
see which detergents and solutions are compatible with your
machine for the best results.
Q: How do I test my pressure
washer for its power?
A: It is important to start
slowly when you are unfamiliar with your machine. For the
best results, start spraying a few feet away from any
object. Bring your wand 3-4 feet away from the area you
want to clean and move it from side to side a couple of
times to see if the surface is clean. Never start too close
to the object you want to clean or you can end up damaging
the object.
Q: What should I avoid
cleaning with my pressure washer?
A: Directly spraying at
windows, postage boxes, flowers, vents, and light fixtures
can break and damage them. Be extra careful when using the pressure
washer around them.
Q: How long should I leave
the chemicals on before using the pressure washer?
A: You should allow at least 5
to 10 minutes for the cleaning solution to dissolve the
dirt, but do not wait until it dries out. You should always
start rinsing from top to bottom to ensure the detergent is
cleaned off.
Q: There are so many pressure
washers, which one should I use for my home?
A: Cold pressure washers are
good for general cleaning, especially if your target is
dirt. Hot pressure washers are good for removing grease,
oil, and other substances that will take cold pressure
washers too much time. Hot pressure washers are ideally
used for cleaning automobiles, but can be used for the home
as well.
Most
pressure washers are fairly easy to use once you have a
thorough understanding of the basics, however, misusage of
the equipment can be very damaging. Therefore,
hiring a
pressure washing service can help you avoid making serious
mistakes. Pressure washing services can help you revive the look of your home.
