Eye Protection

Wear the Rough Outfit

This isn’t much quiet about safety but you are going to be wet. This isn’t a business casual type of event. Make sure you are wearing some old clothes you won’t mind getting wet.

PSI and GMP

Pressure washing is all about PSI (pressure per square inch) and GMP (gallons per minute) and if we get the multiple of it we would get our cleaning units. For example, the cleaning units required to pressure wash a normal car are 2,000-2,800 units and for a house is different therefore total cleaning units depend on the size of a surface.

Places to Avoid while Pressure Washing

If you are pressure washing around the house be careful not to use a pressure wash on any windows that seems there is caulking or right around the edges of the doors. Take a step back so there won’t be quite as much pressure.

Safety for the living Creature

Always pressure wash outdoor while washing a car and even if you are pressure washing a house there might be some plants, grasses, wild lizards, small insects, or your pet around the house so always inspect around the house before getting a start, and if you find any take them away.

Be safe

When starting pressure wash take a good look around the house if any open electrical outlet, exterior light bulbs, any open holes,  secure it with a cover by a plastic wrap or duct tape because water from these openings could get in while washing and cause leaks in the house.

Don’t take the pressure on any human even in the joy because ut has a serious pressure and can hurt and even kill. Avoid children reaching it.
