Pressure Wash Your Grill

If you love cooking hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, it may be a good idea to pressure wash it from time to time. Many homeowners avoid using their grill simply because they despise cleaning it when they’re done. Getting rid of all of that unwanted grease and fat can be a real nightmare without the right cleaning supplies. When you invest in a high-quality pressure washer, you’ll never be hesitant to clean your grill again. All you have to do is position your pressure washer spout at a 45-degree angle to rid your grill top of any loose grease, fat, or grime. If the intense water pressure isn’t enough, consider investing in a degreaser to help you break through the grease.

Depending on the type of grill you have, make sure you disconnect it from the natural gas line, electricity, or propane tank before you start cleaning.

Pressure Wash Your Car

If you’ve ever taken your car to the car wash, you already know what a little pressurized water can do for its shine. When you own a pressure washer, you can clean your car as efficiently as your local car wash service! Make sure you opt for a commercial grade washer that can generate at least 1200 PSI (this is a unit of pressure expressed in pounds of force per square inch of area). Before you start to pressure wash your vehicle, make sure to park it at a safe distance from your house or garage. The last thing you want to do is accidentally damage the walls of your garage or the exterior of your home with pressurized water. It’s also important to note that if you have scratches on your car, you may want to cover these areas with tape. This will prevent water from percolating on the exposed metal part, keeping it from rusting.

To start your own pressurized car wash, connect your pressure washer to a water source and power the machine on. The first thing you’ll want to do is rinse the car completely to get rid of any loose dirt, dust, and debris that may have accumulated on the surface. From there, you can use a chemical cleaning solution for automobiles to reinforce the sparkle and shine of your vehicle. Once you have applied a cleaning agent, spray your vehicle top to bottom with a 25 degree spray tip until all of the cleaning solution has been rinsed away. You can towel dry the exterior of your car if you want to avoid any spotting.

With the large selection of pressure washers available on the market, it can certainly be tricky trying to narrow down your options. Let’s take a look at some popular pressure washer types below.

Gas Powered Pressure Washers

These pressure washers are great at delivering high-pressure water to clean large areas on decks, driveways, and even the siding of your home. These machines are great for mobility and power when it comes to tackling larger jobs. Some of these pressure washers may have a manual pull-start, while some feature a push-button electric start.

Electric Powered Pressure Washers

Great for small decks, patios, and outdoor furniture, electric pressure washers are becoming a common tool in households across America. Most of these models are lightweight and they can be started with the simple touch of a button.

Pressure Wash Your Deck or Patio

If your home features a wooden deck or patio, pressure washing the surface is a great way to clear up any unwanted dirt, debris, or dust. Make sure you use a low-pressure nozzle when pressure washing your deck, house siding, stairs, or gazebos. Given the fact that these machines expel a tremendous amount of pressure, you can actually cause damage to your wooden surface if you’re not too careful.
