The Dangers of DIY Pressure Washing

The Dangers of DIY Pressure Washing

By Sponsored

Many do-it-yourself enthusiasts will strip and dent their homes and decks this year with pressure washing rental equipment in an attempt to go it alone and save money. The most common mistake DIY pressure washers will run into is applying too much pressure. It is easy to underestimate the power of a jet of water, and in addition to damaging your home, you could hurt yourself. On the flip side, too little pressure just makes everything wet, doing little to remove stains. Don’t waste your day guessing on a big job like this. 
Another common mistake made by DIY pressure washers is that they only load their washer with water. Without the proper ratio of cleaning solution mixed in, your cleaning effectiveness will be significantly reduced, and probably lead you to apply too much pressure to make up for lost power. Water-only mixtures also spread mold spores around. The extra pressure and mold-related damages can cost you big money. Often, homeowners are only removing the visible algae and mold, but not killing it.
