Teaching an Apprentice to Power Washing a House Like a PRO!

What happens here

The speaker provides general tips for pressure washing, emphasizing that for the entire building, you should always work from top to bottom. If you work from bottom to top, dirty water will run down onto already cleaned sections, requiring re-cleaning. For horizontal siding, always move the pressure washer horizontally, matching the direction of the siding, and maintain a consistent distance from the surface. This technique is compared to using an airless sprayer, suggesting a distance of about 1.5 feet from the surface and moving back and forth. Finally, he mentions having successfully knocked down several hornets' nests on this particular job.

Goal: Apply correct pressure washing techniques for effective and efficient cleaning.

[Music] so in general um luke a couple more tips you know just high sides like this and then just in general working your way around the entire building you always want to work from top down because if you work from bottom up you know all the you've cleaned this bottom you're working your way up and all the dirty water is just coming down and just getting on what you've cleaned before the spider webs and stuff so in general just always work your way from top down and if the siding's running horizontal we're just going to run the horizontal yield with the siding keeping the same distance you know um just like if you're spraying it's kind of like airless spraying you know um you're about a foot and a half away from the surface working back and forth along the siding so this side over here a few windows few lights that we just got to stay away from and there was a bunch of hornet's nests that we've knocked down pissed off the hornets up there but so a few more tips and tricks there
