3 Pressure Washing Tips the Pro's Use to Get the Best Results Every Time!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter recommends using a rotating nozzle for approximately 95% of power washing tasks, as it rotates and agitates to clean surfaces faster. For very high places or knocking down hornets, a straight tip can be used. Crucially, when using any power washer tip, especially a rotating one, always start spraying far from the surface and slowly move closer until you achieve effective cleaning without damaging the material. Starting too close can result in blowing holes in siding, shredding fences, or removing car paint. The presenter, with 20 years of experience, demonstrates starting about a foot and a half away and moving closer, noting his ability to know exactly the right distance.

Goal: Learn to effectively use a rotating power washer nozzle for most cleaning tasks, understanding how to adjust distance to prevent surface damage.
