The Benefits of Power Washing

Most likely you have heard of power washing, but do you know all of the benefits?  Power washing works great when it comes to cleaning decks, the exterior of your house, or your front walkway. 

Let’s face it, all of these surfaces will accumulate dirt, and getting rid of it is not an easy or enjoyable task.  Power washing is a great way to speed up the cleaning process and will yield great results when used properly.  Here are a few key things to keep in mind when using a power washer:

Decks and Fences:  Keep the tip of the power washer 6 – 10 inches from the wood surfaces at all times.  Always keep the wand moving; never hold it one place as it will fur the wood surface.

Vinyl Siding:  Rinse from the top down.  Keep the tip of the power washer 1 – 2 feet from the siding. Rinse perpendicular to the siding when possible.

If you’re planning on painting your house, power washing is a wonderful way to get things ready.  Why waste time constantly moving a ladder all around your house a few feet at a time, struggling to reach every spot, when a power washer can do the trick in considerably less time? Plus, you can avoid getting head and back pains from the process.  By utilizing the proper wand and tips, the power washer can reach most areas on the home from the ground or a small ladder.
