How To Paint a DECK the Right Way!

What happens here

The discussion focuses on washing houses before painting. The preferred method is power washing with a high-pressure machine, specifically using a 5000 PSI rotating nozzle, as it effectively agitates and removes dirt. Soft washing, typically done with just a hose, is less effective. No cleaning solutions or chemicals are used due to potential harm to plants and customer concerns. While power washing carries a risk of damaging surfaces, windows, or doors if done improperly, mastering the technique can mitigate these risks.

Goal: Effectively clean house exteriors before painting without chemical solutions

first question so it's a good question so I'll go back to my early days and and we didn't power wash when I first started doing houses and stuff we soft washed with just a hose and I always had the excuses we don't want to damage the house and stuff and and I had some other excuses about really when it's time again but what really came down to is they couldn't afford a power washer and so you know eventually I got a power washer and I started power washing and what I realized is the difference between a hose and a power washer a power washer and to me I use a rotating nozzle it really agitated dirt and it really helps remove contaminants from the house and you just can't get that from soft washing now I'm using a power washer you can you can damage the house you can do bad things get payments or get water inside windows through doors and stuff like that that could damage window sills and flooring but once you learn how to properly power wash it's not going to be an issue do you have any videos teaching people how to power wash so yeah I have multiple videos on power washing and using that rotating nozzle it's a 5000 psi rotating nozzle that just it just agitates the dirt on the surface and really cleans it well so do you use a power washer this short answer would have been yes and then the next one the next one was cleaning solutions do any cleaning solutions on houses so I don't use any cleaning solutions my fear was always I know a lot of them say environmentally safe and stuff like that but a lot of customers are uncomfortable with the chemicals and stuff like that just don't want to put any chemicals in the ground just got a lot of fear with them you know damaging plants killing plants harming grass and stuff like that I used to use chemicals on fences and stuff like just kind of away from it I thought over the years just water use properly cleaned properly
