Get matched with top pressure washers in Bath, NY

Q: What happens if you don’t pressure wash before painting?

• <div><p>If the exterior walls are not thoroughly cleaned before a paint job, the paint could stick to the grime, creating obvious imperfections along the way. Beyond that, painting over a freshly-cleaned wall just about doubles the lifespan of the paint, from three or four years to seven to ten years. </p></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: Why is my deck fuzzy after pressure washing?

• <div><p>Your deck may look or feel fuzzy after pressure washing because the high-pressure spray tears some wood fibers as it removes the outer layer of dead and discolored wood. This fuzzy effect is a normal part of the pressure-washing process and will go away on its own in a few weeks. You can opt to spot-sand your deck if you&rsquo;d like to remove it more quickly.</p></div>

Q: Should you wear a mask when jet washing?

• <div><p>Always wear protective gear, including a mask, gloves, and eye goggles, whenever you&rsquo;re dealing with high-pressure cleaning or cleaning with chemicals. But even if you&rsquo;re just using plain water with your jet washer, don some gear to avoid splashing&mdash;especially from the hot water of a power washer&mdash;or any particles of dirt or debris that might fly off the surface as you clean it.</p></div>

Q: Should I wash or pressure wash my deck before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.</p></div>
