Will pressure washing damage my shower or tub?

• <div><p>Even at the lowest setting, there’s always a risk that pressure washing might damage your shower or tub. Never use this technique if there’s pre-existing damage in your shower or tub, like peeling caulk, sealant, or cracked tiles. And skip this method entirely if there are any wood features present.</p></div>

Can you power wash a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/power-wash-vs-pressure-wash.htm">power wash</a> your screen porch floors on a low setting to avoid damaging the walls or screens they contact. If you’re careful, you can use a power washer on the lowest setting for your porch screens. However, using a hose with a spray attachment reduces the risk of ripping the screen mesh and works as well as a power washer.</p></div>

Q: Should I use soap when power washing my house?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not necessary, but you can absolutely use soap or detergent when pressure washing your house. Washing with a mixture of soap and water will ensure your siding is spotless when you&rsquo;re finished. However, in many cases it is not necessary to use soap and you can still achieve a powerful result without any product. </p></div>

Q: What tools do professionals use for cleaning?

• <div><p>Professionals use high-pressure steam cleaners, brushes, and specialized cleaning solutions for effective results.</p></div>

Q: How long after power washing can you paint?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll need to wait until the surface is completely dry, which can take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours under optimal conditions. The waiting period depends on several factors, including the type of siding and the weather conditions. Trying to paint before the surface is completely dry can trap moisture under the paint, leading to bubbling, blistering, and mold growth.</p></div>
