🌱 PRO TIP: Pressure Washer Tips

A pressure washer is powerful — and misused, it can cause damage. Follow these tips for safe, effective cleaning:

🔧 Choose the Right Nozzle

  • Use a 25° or 40° nozzle for most jobs.
  • Avoid the 0° nozzle — it can gouge wood, concrete, and even skin.

📏 Keep Your Distance

  • Start at least 2 feet away and move closer slowly.
  • Too close and you risk damage to surfaces.

💦 Work Smart

  • Wash from top down on siding.
  • For driveways, work in sections to prevent streaking.

🧯 Bonus Tip

  • Add detergent for tough jobs — it reduces pressure needed and cleans more effectively.

👉 Remember: A pressure washer is powerful — and misused, it can cause damage.
