GUIDE To Pressure Washing a House

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter introduces the overall project: painting an exterior house, which is a four-day process. This video focuses on the first day, dedicated to pressure washing. He then introduces the pressure washing equipment he will be using: a Mi-T-M ChoreMaster 3200 PSI pressure washer (a smaller, portable option) and mentions a larger 4000 PSI belt-drive pressure washer he also owns. Key attachments include an agitating rotating nozzle for effective cleaning, a 6-foot straight extension wand for reaching high areas without a ladder, and a flexible "SprayFlex" nozzle for curved or difficult-to-access spots like inside gutters. He also notes running three hoses to avoid moving the pressure washer frequently.

Goal: Understand the project scope and identify necessary pressure washing tools.

Tools and materials

  • 6-foot Straight Extension Wand — Reaching high areas of the house, like gables and upper siding, from the ground
  • Agitating Rotating Nozzle Mi-T-M — Providing an aggressive, rotating spray pattern to dislodge dirt and debris effectively without chemicals
  • Flexible 'SprayFlex' Nozzle — Accessing hard-to-reach areas such as gutters, behind pipes, or around curved surfaces
  • Hoses — Connecting the water source to the pressure washer and the pressure washer to the spray gun/wand
  • Pressure Washer — Cleaning the house with high-pressure water

This is Christy Idaho Painter here on PaintLife TV. Today I got a comprehensive guide on how to or how we go about painting a house. So I'm going to try to paint this house right here behind me in two days. But I got a day of pressure washing and then also a day of prep. So from start to finish it's going to be a four day process. So we're going to show you all the steps and give you a real thorough guide on how we go about doing it during all those steps. Today is going to be the first part of this video. It's a multi part video. This is going to be the pressure washing portion where we're going to be washing off this house. Then we're going to let it dry and come back tomorrow and do the prep work. So stay tuned for this comprehensive guide of how to properly or how we go about painting an exterior house. All right here we are. We are going to start the pressure washing process of this house. I'm going to give you some tips and tricks. The guide to how we properly clean a house. I'm going to show the tools we're going to be using and I'm going to start off with the pressure washer. I typically have two pressure washers. I have a smaller one. This is a Mighty M, a chore master. It's a 3200 PSI. Then I also have a larger belt drive pressure washer. It's a 4,000 PSI. It really makes getting high places a lot easier. But it takes two people to get the thing in and out and that's in a larger painting van. This one if you're just on your own, one person can get this thing in and out of a truck or a van easily. So there's the pressure washer I'm going to be using. I got some tools. I start off one of the most important things when it comes to pressure washing is this nozzle right here. This is an agitating, rotating nozzle. And I'm going to talk about that. I've got a couple guns here that I use. I'm going to show you the
