Is power washing DIY task?
If you are determined to shoulder the task then it is essential to know the techniques involved in the process.
Weigh your needs before buying
If you aim to clean the home walls, car, driveway, or deck then purchasing a machine, which delivers 4000 PSI at 3.5 gallons/minute, is waste of money. You will need to buy small machine that delivers 1800 PSI -2500 PSI at 2 gallons/minute. The machine is light and takes less space. It is less expensive and user-friendly.
Rent a machine
Renting a machine is also a good option. It can be rented from a hardware store or the local paint shop. In case, you are new to power equipment then ask the store keeper, you rent it from for directions. The task can get concluded in a single day and it can cost you maximum $50 against rent.
Before you rent consider the basic things needed like a garden hose and pump that can handle water pressure of 3 to 5 pounds. If your property has old pump then it will get overheated and malfunction.
The length of the hose needs to be sufficient to reach the roof without elevating the entire machine. Ladders that are 24-feet extendable are also needed to reach high places from ground level. Safety is crucial, when you operate power washing equipment. Pulling the gun trigger results in a blast. This can knock you if you are not careful.
The unit needs to be equipped with chemical injector. In addition, all chemicals applied need to be rinsed properly or it can burn the surface.
Power washers certainly make your washing task easy because they can complete the task easily and safely. It is a little too much job for a DIY person. Be wise and hire power washers!
