Get matched with top pressure washers in Mobridge, SD

Once you see how well your pressure washer cleans, it’s easy to get carried away and want to blast everything. But some surfaces handle pressure washing better than others. Avoid pressure washing anything electrical, painted (unless you want to strip the paint), or delicate, like glass. And even though you can pressure wash wood or other porous surfaces, select a lower-powered pressure washer and wide-angled nozzle to prevent damage.

If you have a type of siding that’s safe to pressure wash—namely, cement, vinyl, or aluminum—you can pressure wash your house as often as once per year (though, depending on the level of dirt and debris your home is exposed to, you might not need to). Late spring is an ideal time to pressure wash your home since the bloom of pollen in the air will have settled and you’ll be able to get the siding as clean as possible.

Yes, it’s okay to use a pressure washer to clear and clean your gutters. Be careful to avoid the outside of the gutters, as getting too close with the powerwasher can peel away the paint. Also, be careful to avoid causing any damage to seams that may be in the corners or along the length of the gutter.

The best soap for a pressure washer is a mild multi-purpose cleaning agent. Mild dish soap works, but make sure to dilute it with a 1:4 ratio of soap to water to avoid clogging your machine. Sometimes you won’t even need a detergent when using a pressure washer. It all depends on how grimy your furniture is to start with.
