HOME GARDEN & H D M RD M R M R O A O A O A M D M R M R M AR O ARD OM Guide Guide Shelby Shopper & Info P owerwashing, also known as pressure-washing, utilizes a high-velocity water spray to remove dirt and residue from the exterior surfaces of a home. It is frequently used on vinyl siding, concrete and sometimes wood decks to treat mildew and other growth that accumu- lates over time. Powerwashing can be a great way to remove grime with- out having to scrub by hand. But it requires a delicate touch to get it right. Sometimes it is best to leave the job to profes- sionals. But homeowners willing to give it a go can try pow- erwashing themselves, as various stores rent power washers. The home improvement website ImproveNet says that, until very recently, pressure washers were almost exclu- sively commercial machines sold to professionals or rented to do-it-yourselfers. Lately manufacturers have targeted homeowners looking to buy with lightweight options. For those who see powerwashing as a routine venture, purchas- ing a unit may be worth the investment. It is important to exercise caution when operating a powerwashing machine. The high-velocity spray can tear through skin. It is key to get a feel for the washer, and try less pressure first to get a handle on the magnitude of the tool. Don safety gear prior to using a pressure washer. Gloves, eye protection and ear protection can be handy. Most units will connect to a standard garden hose. Choose old cloth- ing and expect to get wet. Never point a powerwasher hose at anyone and do not attempt to rinse feet or hands in the spray. The renovation resource The Family Handyman suggests starting with a wide-degree nozzle to test out the spray on the surface that needs to be cleaned. A 15- or 25-degree nozzle is usually the wand for general cleaning and paint stripping without damaging the surface of the home. Experi- ment with an optimal distance of the washer wand to get the desired cleaning effects without causing any damage. Work using a horizontal and slightly downward angle to avoid driving water up under the siding of a home. Avoid spraying any electric wires or components on the home. Also, try not to spray upward, and angle the spray away from doors, windows and vents. Some washers have reservoirs that will hold a detergent solution. Choose the right de- tergent for the job. Keep in mind that cleansers contain- ing bleach can damage sur- rounding plants, so they may need to be covered while the washing takes place. Avoid the use of ladders when operating a power- washer. The push-back from the wand can cause falls. In- stead, opt for an extension wand to address the upper reaches of a home. Powerwashing a home is an effective way to remove stubborn grime and refresh the look of a home's exterior. House powerwashing tips Powerwashing the exterior of the home can be an effective way to clean it in the spring and fall.
