Get the most out of your pressure washer

We love the summer here at Crisp and Brite, but let’s face it, there’s just no hiding dirt during the summer months! Before you know it, mud, mildew, pollen, and grass clippings can cover everything in sight – which is where a pressure washer comes in very handy!

Making short work of tough cleaning jobs, a pressure washer is a life saver in busy households. So we’ve written this quick blog to make sure you keep yours in the best condition possible!

Here are our very simple ways to get the most out of your pressure washer....

- Use a pump preservative when storing the machine over the winter to protect the pump against freezing and corrosion.

- Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before filling the pressure washer's fuel tank.

- When cleaning vertical surfaces, wash from the bottom up, and rinse from the top down.

- Pressure washer nozzles are usually coded to indicate the thinness and power of their spray. Make sure you know which to use for each job. As a general rule, use the broadest, lowest-pressure nozzle that will deliver adequate cleaning, because using too narrow a nozzle may cut into the surface you're trying to clean.

- Spray in a subtle area to test the nozzle before pressure-washing more visible areas. This way, if you are using too narrow a nozzle or find that you need to improve your technique; at least you won't harm a obvious surface.

- Hold the tip of the pressure-washing nozzle at an angle above the surface you are cleaning and at a distance to prevent damage.

- Be careful to avoid spraying water behind or under vertical surfaces such as lap siding, and into light fixtures, electrical outlets or soffit vents etc.

- Always keep the nozzle in motion to prevent the water cutting into and damaging the surface.
