Q: What cannot be power washed?

• <div><p>Delicate surfaces like softwood, painted areas, or antique furniture can be damaged by a power or pressure washer. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-should-you-not-pressure-wash.htm">Avoid power washing things</a> with electrical components, including outlets or HVAC units, because water can short-circuit these systems.

Always assess the surrounding area before power washing to avoid costly damage.</p></div>
