Q: Can I pressure wash my own deck?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-power-wash-deck.htm">pressure wash your deck</a>, but it&rsquo;s usually best to leave the work to a professional for two main reasons. First, power washers are expensive, and you can avoid high upfront costs by hiring a deck washing pro instead. Second, you must be careful to use the correct setting to avoid damaging your deck material. You can only clean soft woods like pine with a wide spray and a low pressure; otherwise, the water will leave unpleasant marks on your deck. Hard woods, composite material, and metal can stand up to increasingly higher water pressures.</p></div>

Q: What safety precautions do professionals take during cleaning?

• <div><p>Use of harnesses and ladders ensures safe roof access.</p></div>

Q: Does a pressure washer use less water than a garden hose?

• <div><p>Yes, a pressure washer uses less water than a garden hose. There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/9-uses-pressure-washer.htm">ways to use a pressure washer</a>, and it can be an eco-friendly hose substitute. While a pressure washer expels water with greater force, it uses <b>50% to 70% less water</b> than a garden hose. Specifically, hoses put out six to 10 gallons per minute (GPM), while pressure washers only use two to five GPM.</p></div>

Q: What do you put in a pressure washer for a driveway?

• <div><p>You can put a gentle cleaner such as distilled white vinegar, dish soap, or a degreaser in your pressure washer in a detergent injector. The attachment will mix your detergent with the water and spray it out. If you have stubborn stains on your driveway, a gentle cleaner in the attachment can help dissolve and remove those stains. Rinse the area with the pressure washer. </p></div>
