About The Pressure Washing Attachments We May Use On Your Job
Pressure washing may not seem like a glamorous job, but it’s definitely a fun one. When we pressure wash, we get to see the results of our work immediately, and it’s so satisfying! Pressure washing is so much more than just spraying water to clean.
It really requires knowledge of different surfaces, cleaners, and techniques. Our pressure washers have a variety of attachments they can use to speed up the cleaning process and provide even better results.
Surface Scrubbers
We can use a large, round attachment that spins in a scrubbing motion to help remove surface grime. This attachment works best on large surfaces like back patios, decks, and driveways. It assists in loosening set-in dirt so that our pressure washers can rinse it away more easily.
Pressure Washing Brushes
These are similar to the scrubbers, although the bristles are tougher. These brushes are great for cleaning boats, cars, trash cans, and outdoor furniture.
Turbo Nozzles
This attachment is a nozzle that rotates the water stream as it sprays. It also allows you to pulse the water to get those really tough stains. It’s particularly great for blasting away car oil from your driveway, grease, and even sticky substances like gum.
Water Wands
Each pressure washing machine comes with a standard wand, but we have additional wands of varying lengths. These help us reach up high along your roof and gutters, second-story homes, or in tight corners that are out of reach. They are often made of stainless steel to offer additional stability and control to the user. Plus, using a longer wand prevents the need for a ladder that can be more dangerous.
Broom Attachments
A broom is similar to a scrubber or brush, although it has a different shape. Broom attachments for pressure washers utilize multiple nozzles for water spray and cover a wide area. Our team uses a broom attachment to quickly clean large, flat areas. For example, a broom attachment can be great for soft washing your roof without using high-pressure water.
Foam Cannons for Pressure Washers
Sometimes we pretreat using cleaners. We want the soap or detergent to spray out along with the water pressure, creating a cleansing foam to coat your surface. After the cleaners sit for five to ten minutes, we use a stronger water pressure to rinse them away, removing dirt and grime too.
Metal Spray Guns
Standard pressure washers come with plastic spray guns. Our team invests in metal spray guns that last longer. The material can withstand constant use under pressure without sustaining wear and tear. Plastic spray guns may deteriorate faster and produce weaker results over time.
Water Filters
Some soaps require that we treat your water before spraying. Otherwise, soap and hard water can leave behind white calcium deposits. When we use a water filter, we ensure the best results possible by treating your water before using it to clean your home. This is especially important if you have well water or a rain collection tank.
PSI Gauge
We saved the best – and most important – for last. Having an accurate PSI gauge is crucial to effective pressure washing. Each surface requires a different water pressure and we want to ensure that the gauge is correct every time. Water pressure that is too strong can damage your delicate surfaces. Water pressure that isn’t strong enough can leave our team working harder instead of smarter during your service.
