subject: When Washing With Pressure [print this page] Pressure washing takes skill and if youre considering it, you should learn the necessary procedures to do it properly. Here, well give you just the fundamentals of Orange County pressure washing. Choosing the proper tools would be the first suggestion.
There are several different pressure washers, and you can pick and choose the one that will help you get the job done. First of all turn on your garden hose and the water will come out of the hose about 8 gallons in one minute. Then a spray gun that attaches to your hose will spray about 5 gallons in one minute.
A pressure washer is the extreme and there are gas powered and electric motors that boosts the water pressure to 1,000 PSI (per square inch) to 4,000 per square inch. Of course they clean much better than an ordinary spray gun attached to your hose.
The gas powered pressure washers are more powerful than the electric, and you can rent one of those if you prefer. If youre just planning on cleaning your patio, garage floor, or your concrete driveway, it would probably be better to rent the machine. Even if you have large jobs to do, rent the different machines before you buy one because they are expensive.
Follow the directions you receive when you buy or rent the machine. It is very important that you dont aim and blast windows for they will obviously break. Practice with the pressure so you wont aim at the wrong things, and be very cautious when children or pets are around.
Those pressure washers are great when it is time to clean your tire wheels, or oil on your garage floors. You can also clean the sides and eaves of your home but like we said before, dont use them on your windows.
You will also want to purchase solutions that are recommended for your pressure washer. Dont substitute cleaners from around your home, because they dont work as well.
Other suggestions that might work well for you: Never use a ladder when using a pressure washer; cover all outdoor electric outlets; never use bleach; always wear goggles to protect your eyes; around windows, work at an angle; invest in interchangeable nozzles and tips; spray the chemicals on the item you are cleaning, let it sit for about five minutes, then spray it off with clear water.
When used properly, nothing works better than a pressure washer.
