High pressure cleaning is the most effective way of cleaning your home, factories and equipment when properly executed. It is able to remove stubborn dirt and grime that normal cleaning procedures are not capable of. It is also an economical cleaning method as it's not very wasteful on water and chemical usage is greatly reduced. The following are tips on how to maximize high pressure cleaning benefits safely and effectively.

The safety of the person or persons doing the cleaning must have the foremost consideration. Appropriate safety equipment and harnesses such as goggles, steel-toed safety boots, long pants, and long sleeve shirts must be worn. This is to ensure the body; especially the eyes are protected from harm when using high pressure cleaning equipment. Before starting with the job, protect or cover up nearby electrical equipment, electronic devices and other items that are prone to damage when wet.

Ensure all lighting fixtures, electrical outlets and jacks are either removed or completely covered & sealed to make them waterproof. Always remember that the water jet from pressure washers are powerful enough to hurt or even kill, so avoid pointing your pressure washer tip to anyone. Follow the recommendations of the manufacturer when using chemicals or detergents and make sure that they are suitable for pressure washer use. When working on high places, never pressure wash while standing on a ladder.

When working on brick, mortar or concrete walls, initial preparations must be done before it can be pressure washed. Ensure that all nearby windows, doors and openings are tightly closed to avoid water entry to indoor spaces. Cracks must be repaired and electrical wall outlets and fixtures must be sealed or protected from water to avoid damage and electrocution. Some owners might also want their plants, flowers and vegetation to be protected. In areas with very hot and humid weather, mold, algae or mildew growth might be present. A concrete cleaner with anti-mold and mildew properties is effective in removing and preventing future re-growth.

For asphalt driveways, stubborn stains like tire marks, oil and grease are common and the usual surface cleaners might not be able to remove them. Commercial chemicals and detergents that are specially formulated for use in a pressure washer and designed specifically for asphalt must be used.

When cleaning wooden decks and fences, keep in mind that wood can be easily damaged by using too much water pressure, so proceed with caution. Choosing the right detergent or chemical is important for proper cleaning without damaging the wood.
