Over time, the siding and brickwork on your house accumulates dirt, grime and mildew. Using a pressure washer to clean the exterior of your home can clean and refresh the surfaces. Pressure washers have high-pressure sprays and will work much better than the average garden hose or the soap and bucket method.
Here are some tips for using a pressure washer:
• Choose the right tip or nozzle for the pressure washer. Some nozzles could damage your home's exterior.
• If you are using soap or chemicals, be very careful. Cleaning solutions may be harmful to some exterior surfaces. Never allow the soap or solution to dry on your house before rinsing it off.
• Before you begin pressure washing, always test the spray in an inconspicuous area of your house.
• Stay back at least 12 feet while spraying and always spray at a downward angle to avoid damaging the siding. Spraying upwards or straight on could cause water to seep into the walls.
• Start pressure washing at the top of the house.
• Do not point the high-pressure spray directly at electrical boxes or windows.
• Make sure that your eyes are protected. Debris may fly from the house while you are spraying.
