Prepare the Work Area and Set Up Pressure Washer

What happens here

Clear the area directly in front of the wall of any furniture, plants, or decorative items. Lay down drop cloths or tarps to protect landscaping, adjacent surfaces, and prevent paint chips from scattering too widely. Connect the garden hose to the pressure washer's water inlet and the main pressure hose to the outlet. Attach the desired wand (a long wand is beneficial for reaching higher areas comfortably, as seen in the video) and a general-purpose nozzle (e.g., a 25-degree green tip) to start. If using an electric pressure washer, plug it into a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet.

Goal: Protect surroundings and make the pressure washer operational
