Little Known Pressure Washing Secrets. How to Powerwash Anything!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before starting any pressure washing, especially on a house, it's crucial to wear appropriate safety gear. The presenter specifically recommends wearing gloves to protect hands from dirt and chemicals, and safety glasses for eye protection. Additionally, he advises always pressure washing the house first, working from top to bottom, before moving on to concrete or other ground surfaces. This prevents dirt and debris from the house from re-soiling already cleaned ground areas. When starting the pressure washer, ensure all air is purged from the system and squeeze the trigger to release back pressure, which makes the engine easier to start.

Goal: Ensure safety and prepare the work area and equipment for efficient cleaning.
