Power Washing - A Great Way to Start Your Spring Cleaning!

Executive summary about Power Washing By Michael K Murphy

Time to power wash!

Power washing is a logical and cost effective start to any spring cleaning. Homes that are not meticulously cleaned and maintained do not enjoy the return bookings that used to be taken for granted.

Last year we fielded an unusually large number of calls from rental agencies requesting emergency power washing. The Better Business Bureau gets thousands of requests for information on reputable companies who perform power washing each year. If you do plan to attempt the power washing yourself, look at your needs. Perhaps you intend to clean the outside of your home, your car, your driveway and maybe even your decks. You can easily ruin decking, siding, concrete, and other surfaces with a power washer. For small, intermittent projects the smaller electrically driven machines will serve you better.

You can, also, rent a machine from your local paint store, hardware store or rental store. You will need a garden hose and about 3-5 pounds of pressure to run the machine without starving the pump of water. Most homes do have adequate pressure, but some properties that use well water and have an old pump will not have enough to run the machine property and will overheat the unit.

Be extremely careful when operating pressure-washing equipment from a ladder. Once applied, all chemicals need to be rinsed. When rinsing, you want water volume, not pressure and the garden hose delivers greater volume than the power washer. When applying chemicals, keep plants, grass, and anything else you want to protect from the chemical wet. Power washers can help with a large variety of cleaning chores.
