Clean and Protect Screens and Fragile Areas

What happens here

When pressure washing around window and door screens, maintain a significant distance. Oxidized or old screens can be very fragile and prone to striping or tearing if the nozzle is too close or the pressure is too high. The presenter demonstrates how an overly aggressive approach can damage screens, necessitating their replacement. Always start with a greater distance and gradually move closer until you achieve effective cleaning without leaving marks. This ensures that screens are clean but intact, an important detail before painting adjacent trim.

Goal: Learn how to effectively clean screens and other fragile areas without causing damage, particularly when preparing a house exterior for painting.
