Q: When should you not use a pressure washer?

• <div><p>You <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-should-you-not-pressure-wash.htm">shouldn&rsquo;t use a pressure washer</a> on utility meters, generators, AC units, breaker boxes, or anything that contains electrical components. Don&rsquo;t use a pressure washer on living things, either, including people, pets, and plants. Lead paint, asphalt shingles, stained wood, and painted items are also no-gos when it comes to pressure washing.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect powerwashing costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on surface material, level of grime, accessibility, labor, and required cleaning agents.</p></div>

Q: What do you spray on a wood deck before pressure washing?

• <div><p>Before pressure washing, you can spray your deck lightly with a deck cleaning solution made of equal parts oxalic acid and water. Oxalic acid has a brightening effect that will lighten mold stains and return the deck to its original freshly-sawn look. Allow the solution to sit for about 20 minutes before pressure washing so it has time to take effect.</p></div>

Q: What PSI should I use when pressure washing?

• <div><p>The amount of pressure, measured in psi, that you should use depends on what you&rsquo;re washing. Very tough materials like concrete, stone, and masonry can handle a high psi of 2,500 to 3,000, but materials like wood require a bit of a lighter touch. To clean your wooden deck, you&rsquo;ll want to use your pressure washer on the lowest setting, around 600 psi, especially if it&rsquo;s made of soft wood like pine or cedar. </p></div>

Q: What shouldn’t I use a pressure washer on?

• <div><p>Once you see how well your pressure washer cleans, it&rsquo;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.</p></div>
