Before you pressure wash
What can a small thin stream of water do to harm you? Considering it is only water, it can be really dangerous if mishandled in the wrong way. Here are some things to keep in mind before using a pressure wash:
Never spray a pressure washer towards a person, it can seriously hurt them.
- At a safe distance spray at least 5 to 6 feet away from the surface you’re cleaning.
- At first, start with the lowest possible setting and test it on a hard surface to ‘feel’ its spray.
- You should know what to wash and what not to wash, not all surfaces can be safely power pressured
- Either you are renting the unit, or buying, better ask the clerk for a demonstration on how to use the unit
How to use a power washer safely
Before you begin to use a pressure washer, it is important to understand its safety measures:
- Stay safe by protective gear like using goggles, glasses, and face shield. No shorts and flip flops.
- Prepare your area or surroundings. Cover bulbs, vents, and close your windows. Remove hazardous items or things out of the way including wires, toys, pets, and children.
- Never put your hands or part of you in the way of the pressure washer spray. It can harm or injure any person being hit by the spray of the unit.
- Never use ladders. Pressure washers can produce a powerful force, which usually can lead to an accidental fall. If the work situation seems difficult to do or clean, better call in the professionals.
Pressure Washer Tip Guide

While for normal or small tasks you can go for an electric powered pressure washer, they are also effective for jobs at hand.

4.Cleaning Systems
Pressure washers are equipped with a detergent injection system. They can automatically mix cleaning and siphon detergents at the same time. Some models come with onboard detergent storage tanks for more effective cleaning.
