How do I use a pressure washer safely?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A powerful pressure washer can easily cut through flesh if you&#8217;re not careful.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>Take these measures to ensure you won&#8217;t get hurt when pressure washing your driveway, your house, or anything else in your yard:<br\/><br\/>&#8212; Read and follow the pressure washer&#8217;s instruction manual.<br\/>&#8212; Never aim the spray wand or spray gun at another person.\u00a0<br\/>&#8212; Never operate a pressure washer while on a ladder. The pressure washer&#8217;s force may knock you over.\u00a0<br\/>&#8212; Use the appropriate nozzles for the surface you are cleaning.\u00a0<br\/>&#8212; Never clean a surface with high pressure it can&#8217;t withstand. A high PSI level will damage some surfaces.<br\/>&#8212; Avoid using the 0-degree nozzle. This nozzle channels the stream&#8217;s intensity into one single point, making it dangerous to use.\u00a0<br\/>&#8212; Be aware of your surroundings as you use your pressure washer.<br\/>&#8212; Always wear safety goggles, gloves, long pants, and hearing protection.<br\/>&#8212; Check electrical cords before use to avoid shock.<br\/>&#8212; Check the user manual before plugging an electric pressure washer into an extension cord.\u00a0<br\/>&#8212; Never operate a gas-powered pressure washer in an enclosed space.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1621445276348\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">2. What is the difference between power washing and pressure washing?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You&#8217;ve probably heard the terms power washer and pressure washer used interchangeably. Both tools use highly pressurized water to clean dirty surfaces, but a power washer heats the water. A pressure washer cleans with cold water.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>Keep in mind that hot water can damage some surfaces. Never assume you can power wash the same surface you cleaned with a pressure washer.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1621445300357\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">3. How do I find the right pressure washer?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It&#8217;s important to evaluate your needs before swiping the credit card for a new pressure washer. <br\/><br\/>Want a pressure washer that won&#8217;t restrict you to a power cord and has high cleaning power? Then you may want to consider a gas pressure washer. <br\/><br\/>Prefer an eco-friendly option? Go with a corded model instead.\u00a0<br\/><br\/>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/reviews\/best-pressure-washers\/\">pressure washer buyers guide<\/a> can help you find the right tool for you.
