WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A PRESSURE WASHER

Pressure washing your home or business is a great way to remove dirt and mildew that’s built up over time. But there’s a bit more you need to know about pressure washing and how to do it, or else you risk causing major issues that will need to be corrected.
​
In this issue, we’ll talk about which pressure washer is best – electric or gas – and some pitfalls to avoid if you’re thinking of doing it yourself.

WHICH PRESSURE WASHER SHOULD I BUY OR RENT, GAS OR ELECTRIC?

It depends upon what the job is.

• Gas-powered pressure washers are ideal for quickly cleaning decks, siding and other large areas. They’re also good for washing away tough stains. The pull-starting and fuel-mixing can be a drag, though.
• Electronic pressure washers are good for smaller areas, like patios and furniture. They start and stop with a trigger but they have lower pressured water…plus you need to be near an outlet for use.

WHAT’S THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN IF I DO THE JOB MYSELF?

There’s actually quite a bit of damage that can happen if you don’t know what you’re doing, including:

• Getting water in your house or attic or walls
• Damaging the siding on your home
• Removing paint
• Damaging the windows

WHEN SHOULD I LET A PROFESSIONAL DO THE PRESSURE WASHING?

While you may be able to handle more manageable pressure washing tasks like a deck or one-story house, for bigger jobs it just makes sense to call on a professional.

Bigger jobs require heavier and more powerful equipment – and the professional cleaners already have that equipment.

They also have the knowledge on how to deal with hard-to-reach areas without falling and have expertise in cleaning areas like house roofs without causing damage.
