Q: What surfaces and items should not be pressure washed?

• <div><p>You should avoid using a pressure washer on any surface or item that could be damaged by the high-pressure spray, as some materials are too delicate to withstand the force.</p><p>Key items and surfaces to avoid include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Electrical Components:</b> Never pressure wash electrical systems, as water can cause short-circuits and create a safety hazard. This includes utility meters, breaker boxes, electrical outlets, generators, and HVAC or air conditioner units.</p></li><li><p><b>Delicate and Fragile Materials:</b> Fragile items can crack, shatter, or be stripped by the pressure. Avoid pressure washing windows, glass, light fixtures, shingled roofs (especially asphalt), and stucco.</p></li><li><p><b>Painted, Stained, or Sealed Surfaces:</b> Unless your goal is to strip the finish, do not pressure wash painted surfaces, stained wood (like decks), or anything with a protective seal that could be stripped away. Be especially cautious with older surfaces that may contain lead paint.</p></li><li><p><b>Soft Woods and Certain Decking:</b> Delicate surfaces like softwood, composite decking, and antique or wooden patio furniture can be etched or damaged. If you must wash wood, use a lower-powered pressure washer with a wide-angle nozzle to prevent damage.</p></li><li><p><b>Living Things:</b> Never use a pressure washer on people, pets, or plants. The force can cause serious injury and will destroy landscaping.</p></li></ul></div>

Q: What are the OSHA guidelines for pressure washing?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using water pressure above 2,000 PSI, you should wear a full face shield&mdash;at 4,000 PSI, a water jet can easily slice through skin. Always wear heavy-duty, waterproof gloves and rubber boots with metatarsal guards. If you&rsquo;re working with hot water, make sure your gloves are insulated.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to clean my deck before staining, and what happens if I don't?

• <div><p>Yes, you must thoroughly clean your deck before staining. If you don't, dirt, debris, grease, and mildew can get trapped between the wood and the new stain. This not only looks unsightly but also prevents the stain from penetrating the wood properly, reducing its ability to protect the deck from weather and UV rays. As a result, the stain won't last as long or look as good. Any existing mold or mildew left untreated can continue to grow beneath the new stain, potentially leading to wood rot and structural damage. Always wait at least 48 hours after cleaning for the wood to dry completely before applying stain.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to pressure wash a deck?

• <div><p>It generally takes 60 minutes to pressure wash a 19-foot by 19-foot deck. If you are using a pressure washer for the first time, be sure to take extra time to read all directions, select the right nozzles, and test a small portion of your deck before diving into the task.</p></div>

Q: What is most important when buying a pressure washer?

• <div><p>One of the most important factors to consider when buying a pressure washer is not just psi but also the machine&rsquo;s overall cleaning power. This is based on both the psi and the GPM. Look for a cleaning rating, or effective cleaning unit (ECU), of up to 8,000 for most residential cleaning projects that require a pressure washer.</p></div>

Pressure Washing questions, answered by experts

You should avoid using a pressure washer on any surface or item that could be damaged by the high-pressure spray, as some materials are too delicate to withstand the force.
