12/31/2020 Pressure washing looks easy – until you try it yourself for the first time. Yes, spraying a clean line is easy, but choosing the right pressure, detergent, and nozzle requires more nuance.
How do you pressure wash effectively on Long Island? What are the best tips for efficient and effective power washing? Today, we’re highlighting some of the best things you need to know before starting a pressure washing project on Long Island.
Choose the Right Nozzle for the Job, and Test Different Nozzles: Different nozzles have different cleaning abilities. Some nozzles – like red nozzles – are high-powered, delivering huge cleaning power over a tight, zero-degree surface. Other nozzles are wider range nozzles, delivering gentle cleaning power (or detergent) over a wider surface. By choosing the right nozzle for the job, and by testing different nozzles, you can choose the ideal nozzle for any task.
Consider Hiring a Professional: Hiring a professional can often provide a better return on investment than buying or renting your own pressure washer. You get a higher-quality clean in a shorter period of time. Pressure washing companies have the highest-quality equipment. They can clean a surface more efficiently in less time than you can – even if you have a higher-end pressure washer.
Prepare the Scene: Remove debris from the scene, sweep the area, lay tarps over flowerbeds and windows, and do other prep work before you begin. It’s a small step, but it can avoid long-term damage to your home.
Take Safety Precautions: Pressure washing is generally safe, but people can pressure wash incorrectly. Some people don’t wear safety goggles, for example, only to have debris fly into their eyes. Wear long pants and sturdy shoes, avoiding using your pressure washer on a ladder, and follow other basic safety precautions.
By following the safety tips above, you can avoid getting injured by your pressure washer on Long Island.
