Tip of the Week

Pressure washing is time saving and convenient, and you can safely power wash your house by following a few basic steps.

Before using a high pressure washer on your house take your time and become familiar with the power washing equipment.

* Test its operation on a small spot to see how it feels in your hand before you start the actual job.
* Never use a ladder because the kick of the pressure could knock you down.
* If your house has lead paint, check with the local health department to find out the best way to handle it.
* Make sure to cover all outdoor electric outlets and wear goggles to protect your eyes and face.

Choosing the Right Pressure Washer for Your Concrete Cleaning Job

13 April, 2012 (15:54) | Pressure Washers | By: rss

Most electric power washers with a rating of a minimum 3000 psi and a flow rate of 4 gallons per minute should be effective to be used as concrete cleaners.

However, if you need to power wash hard contaminants like paint or thick vehicle skid marks, you will need a high pressure washer with a higher rating.

If your concrete is laid in a large flat area such as a warehouse, parking area or a tennis court, there are flat cart mounted power washers that resemble a lawn mower and make the job easier. The hot water pressure washers are more expensive and heavier than the cold-water type but they are excellent to remove oil and grease and to work in colder weather.

You may also want to consider a trailer mounted pressure washer depending on the size of your job.
