If you’re currently considering buying a pressure washer (or maybe hiring a professional with this equipment) but aren’t sure of whether you would make the most of the investment, keep reading because we have the perfect guide for you. Pressure washers can be incredibly useful around the home and we can show you how below!
Exterior Siding
Firstly, do you ever look at the side of your home and promise that you’ll clean it ‘soon’? If so, you’re like most of us but it doesn’t have to be the big upheaval you have in mind. With many high-quality pressure washers, they have a soap dispenser which makes cleaning siding (or brick) easier than ever before.
Fencing
After cleaning the outside of your home, pressure washers can also be used on fencing to get rid of those tough stains (either in the front or back garden). You’ll be surprised at the impact clean fences will have for the appearance of your home.
Grill and BBQs
Often, people spend hours of their Sunday scrubbing away at outside grills and barbecues when a pressure washer takes on the stains within seconds. There’s a common misconception that pressure washers will damage the electric, but this doesn’t have to be the case as long as you’re careful and follow an online guide (there are some good videos on YouTube).
Vehicles
Why pay to clean your car when a pressure washer will remove all dirt and grime? Once the initial layer of dirt has been removed, all it takes is a once over with a sponge and your vehicle will shine once again.
Driveway/Patio/Decking
It can be surprising how much the appearance of a driveway, patio, or decking can change over time as the layers of grime build. For us, we find a pressure washer can wash away years of grime and it normally looks brand new after.
Outdoor Furniture
Do you avoid sitting on certain outdoor chairs? For many, after investing heavily, they let chairs and tables go to waste but this doesn’t need to happen with the right pressure washer. You can bring them back to life and add character to your outdoor space.
Drains and Gutters
Through a calendar year, both drains and gutters can go through a rollercoaster of a time. For gutters, for example, they often collect leaves in the autumn while also trying to deal with rain, snow, and heavy winds in the winter. As you may have guessed, the solution to this is a pressure washer. With gutters and drains kept clear and clean, they can operate as normal and you won’t experience any issues.
Lawn Mower
Many people have problems cleaning the underside of their lawn mower and this can reduce the effectiveness of the blade. As long as you’re careful and apply the water in the right areas, you can give it a good clean before storing it away for winter and this prevents problems when it makes a return in spring.
Dustbin
Finally, we all know how dirty our dustbins get, right? Over the years, they deal with dirty nappies, leaking food, and so much more. With some soap and a thorough pressure washing, you’ll quickly remove all grime. Why is this important? As well as removing smells, it should also keep away flies and other pests. Choosing the right attachment can make the job a lot easier while using a medium duty power washer of around 110 bars should be sufficient.
Even after all these uses, you can clean boats, stairs/steps, garden tools, graffiti, garage doors, children’s toys, and much more. When looking for a product, we highly recommend researching all the fantastic features that now exist (including the attached soap dispensers)!
