When is it necessary to pressure wash?
Pressure washing is the term applied when you use a high pressure washer to clean surfaces or prepare surfaces for painting. Pressure washing can be done by a professional company or homeowners can rent or purchase mechanical sprayers to do this job.
• Pressure washing can help remove loose paint from the side of a house before painting. Using a pressure washer to remove loose paint is much easier and faster than using a manual scraper. You may not even need to use a ladder to do this type of paint removal.
• Patio furniture often has mold and mildew after a long winter. Pressure washing will allow you to remove mold and mildew and leave your patio furniture looking like new.
• You can use a high pressure washer to wash your parking areas. Cars often leak oil and other fluids that leave stains on the concrete surfaces of your garage or driveway. A power washer can help you remove these liquids and leave your garage floor spotless.
• Mobile homes and homes with aluminum or vinyl siding should be washed regularly to prevent discoloration of the siding. Pollen floats in the air and sticks to the siding, causing it to discolor or turn green, and humidity combined with warm temperatures can cause the siding to turn green.
• Pressure washers can be used to clean dirt from large equipment such as backhoes, tractors, and large vehicles. If you are careful, you can use these machines to clean the underside of personal vehicles and to clean your personal vehicle. Care must be taken not to damage the vehicle’s paint.
• The exterior portions of brick buildings can be made to look like new if properly cleaned.
