What Are The Uses of Pressure Washer Hose?

Don’t forget to add the correct soap or detergent for the job

With most pressure washers, there’s a reservoir and a selection of nozzles for spraying soapy solutions. Most things you’ll clean can benefit with a small amount of added cleaner which makes the job a bit easier.

Usually a soapy type solution is sprayed on then left to soak for a few minutes before being rinsed off

Start by Using the Slow or Larger Nozzles

Your pressure washer hose will come with a selection of nozzles for different pressures or you may have just one adjustable nozzle. Start cleaning with the highest setting as this will not damage the item you’re cleaning. If you find it’s not too effective the move to a smaller nozzle or adjust your nozzle unlit it cleans properly this way you’ll not damage the surface

• Outdoor furniture

Most outdoor furniture is suitable for being cleaned with a pressure washer, such as aluminum, wood, plastic and cane. Always start in an inconspicuous place to make sure you don’t remove the paint or special protective layers.

Outdoor and Boat Cushions
Most outdoor upholstery is designed to be pressure washed, but don’t hold the nozzle too close. After washing set in the sun to dry

• Concrete

All concrete surfaces can be cleaned using a pressure washer hose, if there are oil or grease stains pretreat them with a degreaser, then clean them using a suitable detergent and nozzle. Try and use an even sweeping motion to avoid getting a streaked effect

• Woodwork

Be careful with wood work not to damage the surface by keeping a good working distance. For walls, fences start at the top and work down

Bikes and other Outdoor Toys
As there are a few soft parts like seats and tyres on bikes, it’s a good idea to start with a wide nozzle setting and wash the whole bike or toy and then go over the hard parts with a finer nozzle if necessary
