Get matched with top pressure washers in Milledgeville, IL

While you can use a pressure washer to clean an outdoor rug, it is not necessary as a garden hose can easily do the job. If you do opt to use a pressure washer to clean an outdoor rug, keep it on the lowest pressure setting and adhere to all safety precautions. If you set the pressure washer on too high of a setting, you could run the risk of damaging the fibers and decreasing the longevity of an outdoor rug.

It usually takes about two to four hours to pressure wash a 2,000-square-foot home. The exact time depends on how much dirt there is, the type of siding, and whether you’re doing it yourself or hiring a professional pressure washing service. A DIY job can take an average of six to eight hours, but you should plan for it to take an entire day. A pro can get the job done quicker.

Does the water in your taps sometimes come out very slowly? If so, you might have problems with low water pressure in your house, and your pressure washer won’t effectively clean. To test if your water pressure is sufficient, time how long it takes for the water from your hose to fill a 5-gallon bucket. Usually, if it takes less than two minutes, you’re good to go.
