How to Use Your Pressure Washer Effectively
As with any machinery, you will want to use your pressure washer correctly to ensure it does the job in the most efficient way and that it will last you a lifetime. You should wash equipment after use as well as before you put it into storage for long periods of time. A basic wash should be straightforward if you follow the same routine each time:
- Prepare yourself properly before you begin. Ensure you are washing over an unpaved area to avoid contaminating local waterways with the runoff. Mix your cleaning solution with water in the chamber or barrel of your machine, according to the instructions for your model.
- Attach your water hose to your pressure washer, check the fuel and oil levels are high enough and turn on your pressure washer.
- Spray your equipment using a low pressure to begin with, from a distance of 2-3 feet from the equipment. Start at the bottom and work upwards to avoid streaking.
- Allow 5-10 minutes for the detergent to get to work dissolving the grime and dirt.
- Use the high water pressure to remove dirt from the surface, working from top to bottom this time, using a wide angle spray if possible.
- Switch off your pressure washer and enjoy the satisfaction of your squeaky clean equipment!
