FAQ on pressure Cleaning and House Washing on the North Shore
Some FAQ about my Pressure Cleaning, Roof Cleaning and House Washing services North Shore I receive on a daily basis are outlined below. These questions range from topics including pressure washing to house exterior cleaning and everything in between.
Do you use chlorinated products on the exterior when washing and will these damage plants or paintwork?
The simple answer to this question is yes, and if used correctly cause no problems.
The majority of exterior cleaning products you can purchase are chlorinated, and for one reason – because they work! Any other product you can purchase will have a caustic constitution.
In over 20 years of house washing I have never had an issue using the solution i make up and use.
Some other businesses will simply lie to your face and state “we use a non-chlorinated product” when they do use one and mask it with some form of aromatic oil hoping you wont notice – Not ideal.
What is the best cleaner to use in a pressure washer?
Personally, i have never run any sort of chemical or detergent through a machine and i would strongly advise against doing so.
Chemicals may be used in the cleaning process, and they are introduced to the water flow at the outlet with a tip using the “venturi effect“.
Any sort of chemical run through a pump will damage seals and drastically shorten the lifespan of the equipment.
Are pressure washers dangerous?
Pressure washers can be extremely dangerous if used incorrectly!
a pressure cleaning machine should never be pointed at animals or humans and can do severe damage to pretty much anything with inexperience – even what you are trying to clean.
Apart from the obvious, there are other considerations to throw in the mix, like using in an unventilated area, refueling whilst machine hot or still running.
As with anything that can be a hazard, proper precautions must be taken.
What is a good pressure for pressure washer?
This is a subjective question….
A good pressure for a domestic electric variant will be different for a commercial grade machine that is designed for its purpose.
For general hard surface cleaning, anywhere from 2000-3500Psi is deemed sufficient.
some surfaces require less for cleaning such as limestone or travertine.
Pressure isn’t everything!
