Critical pressure washing tips. You can paint your own house!

What happens here

When beginning to pressure wash, start by holding the nozzle a significant distance from the siding. This allows you to gauge the pressure and impact on the surface. Slowly and carefully move the nozzle closer to the siding until you achieve sufficient agitation to clean dirt, mold, and mildew effectively. The goal is to clean thoroughly without damaging the siding material. Be particularly cautious around windows and screens, as excessive pressure can cause damage. The rotating nozzle is effective for this, as it provides a wider cleaning path and is less likely to cause lines or marks compared to a fixed 0-degree tip.

Goal: Begin cleaning the siding by holding the pressure washer wand far away from the surface and gradually moving closer, ensuring the spray agitates and cleans without causing damage.

Hide

minutes and not do any damage to the house it's just a matter of just staying far away moving yourself up close till you're comfortable to where it's actually agitating the surface and cleaning the surface but not damaging it there's only been a few times ever in my career in 28 years where i've had employees ever damage anything on a house and it was really minor and typically like screens so the the screens on this house are really oxidized so we like to clean the windows we like to clean the strains we stay you know pretty far away until we can get close to them comfortable enough that we're not going to damage them but we are going to clean them so it's a rotating nozzle the difference between this mi-t-m nozzle and some of the cheaper ones that you would get from your do-it-yourself stores this has a filter on it so a lot of places like here this is irrigation water you can get debris in here that could damage you know your a rotating nozzle this has a high impact ceramic ball inside of it so when it starts and it hits it's not going to damage the ceramic ball when you're using your larger pressure washers like 4000 psi pressure washers those do-it-yourself ones that are smaller and black they wear out significantly faster and you can damage them really easy with a 4000 psi pressure washer because they don't have a high impact ceramic ball it's a big difference with these industrial rotating nozzles so if you haven't used one i highly suggest you using one and having a filter on it now one tip when
