Precautions
Though useful, there are several precautions that users should always follow when using a pressure washer, particularly for those with and more.
According to experts, the water that supply's the pressure washer, such as tap, should equally flow or superior to that of the washer, so that the pump is never starved, which can damage the motor.
Another is that the water from the nozzle is said to be powerful enough to strip flesh from bones. Objects in the water supply can be ejected from the nozzle at great velocities. The cleaning process can propel objects from the surface being cleaned, also at great velocities.
Pressure washers also have a tendency to break up asphalt if aimed directly at it, due to high pressure water entering cracks and voids in the surface. As for removing graffiti, pressure washers can usually overclean the surface leaving a permanent scar on the building surface or any surfaces.For more information visit to our site
High Pressure washing a house is safe for almost all siding products like metal, vinyl, brick and hardy plank. Again this only applied to low pressure techniques. High pressure on brick and mortar will most likely damage it. Vinyl siding is also easily damaged if care is not taken. If your house has wood siding then low pressure cleaning will also keep it looking good. To clean the house a mixture of cleaning agents is mixed into the water that is sprayed onto the house. After sitting for a few minutes it is then rinsed off. For moldy siding a mix of bleach is an excellent cleaner. For wood special detergents are needed that will not damage wood fibers. If you are just needing a general cleaning then an all purpose house wash mix will be used to remove the grime that has built up on your house over time. Most of these cleaners can be found at local home improvement or pressure washing stores.
To get started you will need to find a local rental place and obtain the proper size unit. I suggest a quality brand such as a Karcher power washer. Since you will be using low pressure to clean your house a unit of around 3000-3500 psi will be more than enough. The only reason to have this much pressure is to reach the high eves of a second story house. How do you get low pressure out of 3000 psi ? You need to use a special tip on the wand, sometimes called a house wash tip. It has a large hole which creates a lower pressure stream but with more volume. This will bring the psi down to around 300 psi. To mix in the cleaning material the unit should have a 'down streaming' function. This is a small hose you put into a bucket of cleaning solution. When you start up the unit a High Pressure Washer is created that will draw up the solution and mix it with the water as it comes out the hose. This usually creates a mixture of around. You will need to read the cleaning solutions directions to be sure you are using.
