7 common mistakes to avoid when pressure washing
Avoid these common mistakes that can damage your property and cost dearly in repairs.
1. Too much pressure
Using too high pressure on delicate surfaces like vinyl or wood can cause irreversible damage.
2. Wrong distance
Keeping the nozzle too close to the surface can damage it. Maintain a distance of at least 12 inches.
3. Ignoring safety
Pressure washing can project debris. Always wear safety glasses.
4. Forgetting products
Water alone is not enough. Use appropriate detergents for each surface.
5. Wrong technique
Wash from bottom to top to apply products, then top to bottom to rinse.
6. Neglecting plants
Chemicals can damage your plants. Protect them and water before and after.
7. Not hiring a pro
For optimal and safe results, trust professionals like Aqua-Net.
