Tips For a Succesful Pressure Cleaning Job and Safty Precautions

A pressure cleaning machine with less than 1200 P.S.I. is usually not strong enough to do the job effectively. A pressure cleaning Machine that has more than 2500 P.S.I. could cause damage to the surface being cleaned.

Always wash the surface from the bottom up and then rinse it, from the top down. Otherwise, the detergent and dirt will run down the wall and leave streaks or stains on the unwashed surface.

Always make sure that any of the glass windows are closed and never spray directly at the windows because the water pressure can cause damage to them.

When pressure cleaning a garage floor or a driveway, you may find that it works best to first use a commercial degreaser applied with a brush on a pole to emulsify the grease and oil. Then pressure clean the surface.

Be careful not to put your hands anywhere near the end of the wand when the pressure washer is operating as the extreme pressure can cause the water to penetrate the skin.

Always watch out for any overhead electrical power lines and keep the wand at least 10 feet away from them. If it is necessary, you can clean the area around the power line on an exterior wall by hand using a wooden brush.

Most people in the pressure cleaning business service really enjoy making fast cash outdoors and having the freedom of being their own boss. You can start cleaning up the profits too! The money is just waiting to be made.
