DO PRACTICE

Pressure washing can be quite tough while using, that is why you need to practice first – Test the outlet tip and pressure in an open area to make sure you’re holding the equipment in a proper way and you have an idea of how forceful the pressure is.

DO SAFETY
- If there are outdoor electronics like plugs, cover and tape them with water-resistant tape so that there’s no harm and it can avoid causing short circuits if wet. Nowadays, because we get too excited to use some tools and equipment, we tend to forget our safety. That is why it is better to check first our surroundings before we proceed so that there will be no damages or accidents that can be done because of our negligence.
DO CLEANING
- House washing is one of the most common things that pressure washing is used for, so try it first outside of your house and a low area. Start with the lowest pressure and work your way up. For pressure washers, power is gauged in pounds per square inch (PSI). Pressure washing can be used as much as 3,000 to 4,000 PSI. Start with a lower PSI first so that it will be easy for you to adjust the power until it reaches its full force.
Tip: You can mix some cleaning solution on your pressure washers to complete your cleaning process and rinse it with water. It is better to use non-slip slippers/shoes because the mixture of soap and water can be too slick, and it may cause accidents.
