How much PSI is good for a pressure washer?

• <div><p>A pressure washer with 3,000 PSI is enough for most residential projects, such as cleaning patios, outdoor furniture, exterior siding, and fences. Add an extendable wand to make pressure washing easier and more ergonomic. Choose a nozzle that’s best for your surface, such as a 15-degree nozzle for cleaning siding and a surface cleaner <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/guide-to-pressure-washer-attachments-driveways.htm">attachment for driveways</a>. </p></div>

Can you pressure wash the garage floor?

• <div><p>You can certainly utilize a pressure washer to effectively clean your garage floor. If you're dealing with oily residue, consider adding a degreaser to the pressure washer solution. Prior to using the pressure washer, make sure to thoroughly sweep the garage floor to eliminate any loose dirt or debris.</p><p>Begin the pressure washing process from the back of your garage, which is closest to your home, and work your way towards the front. This ensures that the water and dirt are directed outside. In case you've applied a cleanser or degreaser, it's a good idea to give the floor another pass with clean water using the pressure washer to ensure a thorough rinse.</p></div>

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: Which pressure washing nozzle is best for the indoors?

• <div><p>The white nozzle is your best choice for power washing indoors. The white nozzle, or the 40-degree nozzle, comes with a pressure even lower than the standard green nozzle but still has enough force to clean the surface. It works great for painted and wooden surfaces. It also doesn&rsquo;t damage more delicate materials like ceramic or tiles. However, avoid pressure washing delicate furniture, caulking, and other surfaces that require more tendered touches than regular surfaces.</p></div>

Q: Is pressure washing a good way to get rid of efflorescence?

• <div><p>While it can be a good idea to learn<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-pressure-wash-brick.htm"> how to pressure wash brick</a> to remove oils, algae, and debris from the surface, pressure washing isn't a good option for getting rid of white stains on brick. While you may get good temporary results, pressure washing can actually make efflorescence worse once the brick dries because the process pushes salt deeper into the brick. In addition, the intensity of pressure washing can damage brick.</p></div>

Gary Henry and his helper came on a moment's notice to switch out our water well pump. That went well and even looked at one of my frost-free spigots that had lost water pressure. Fixed it for nothing and showed me how to fix it if needed in the future.
