What can you use a pressure washer for?

A pressure washer can be used for cleaning different materials. The pressure washer is mainly used for cleaning surfaces outside the house. Think for example of tiles, window frames, walls, drains or windows. In addition, the pressure washer is often used to clean machines. You can think of cars, scooters, caravans, boats or barbecues. In this blog article, we will take a closer look at the use of a pressure washer in different situations.

The convenience of a pressure washer

The pressure washer is so good to use for different jobs because a concentrated jet of water comes out of the machine. In this way, the focus of the water is on the surface that needs to be cleaned, allowing you to work more efficiently. In addition, with a pressure washer, you also save a lot of water because of this focus.

Cleaning pavement with a pressure washer

Cleaning pavement is a common reason for purchasing a pressure washer. Think of this as removing green deposits on tiles or even walls. For this type of use, we would recommend that you use a rotary attachment. This is also sometimes referred to as a dirt blaster. The rotating jet not only cleans the surface faster but also gets it cleaner than using a straight jet. Since this is a heavier cleaning, we recommend you to use a pressure washer with a working pressure of more than 145 bar.
