POWER WASHING &  PRESSURE WASHING

Power washing can restore that 'new look' to dirty decks, patios, walks and fences. High-pressure water is all that's needed in most cases. A flat fan tip works best for wooden surfaces, while a swirling dirt-blaster tip cleans masonry surfaces best.
     
When cleaning wood, especially with power washers over 2,000 psi, be careful not to scar the wood or make it 'fuzzy' with too much pressure at too close a range. It's also important to clean the entire length of a board to prevent start and stop marks.

POWER WASHING TIPS

  • Start spraying with the cleaning tip well away from the surface and gradually bring the tip to within the range you would like to spray the rest of the board. Use a steady, continuous motion and continue across the length of the entire board instead of using short, back and forth motions.

  • When cleaning masonry surfaces, use a circular motion to minimize noticeable marks on the surface. Consider sealing the surface after it's been cleaned and allowed the proper amount of drying time.
