Pressure washing is a great way to quickly clean up many surfaces, from sidewalks and driveways to siding, decks, fences and more. It can save time and money when done correctly – but it’s important that you do it right! To help you get the job done faster and more efficiently, here are 10 commercial pressure washing tips that will ensure your safety while getting the most out of your equipment. From choosing the right detergent for the job to properly storing your equipment after use – these tips cover all of the basics when it comes to pressure washer safety.
So read on and let’s get started!
- Safety is key – Always wear protective gear when using a pressure washer, as the high-pressure streams can cause serious injury if not properly protected against. Wear safety glasses and gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, and steel toe shoes to protect your eyes, hands, arms, and feet while washing.
- Choose the right detergent for the job – Different surfaces require different cleaning products to get them clean efficiently and safely. Always read the instructions on whatever detergents you choose to use so that you know how much should be used in each gallon of water.
- Adjust your nozzle settings – Spray nozzles come with different settings for different purposes; choosing the one that best fits your task will help you get the job done more quickly and effectively.
- Start from the bottom up – This helps prevent dirt and residue from dripping back down onto surfaces that have already been cleaned.
- Pre-soak areas if necessary – For stubborn spots, pre-soaking with a detergent solution can make them easier to clean.
- Move the wand in an overlapping pattern – Hold your wand at a consistent angle, moving it in an overlapping pattern to ensure all of the surface area is evenly covered by the water stream.
- Rinse after cleaning – Always rinse off any remaining cleaner or debris when finished pressure washing, as residual detergents can damage surfaces or leave streaks and marks behind.
- Store your equipment properly – When not in use, make sure to turn off the water supply and disconnect the hose from the power washer. Clean your wand and nozzle before storing, and keep all chemicals away from children or pets.
- Be aware of nearby windows – Pressure washing can damage window seals if they are too close to where you’re cleaning, so be sure to take extra care around windows and other openings.
- Follow manufacturer instructions – Above all else, be sure to follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer for your specific model of pressure washer; this will help ensure that you get the best performance out of your machine and don’t put yourself at risk of injury.
By following these 10 tips, you’ll be able to pressure wash like a pro and get the job done quickly and efficiently. So grab your safety gear and get out there! Happy cleaning!
