Engines and Nozzles: Power Washing Your Home Exterior

With powerful jets of water, pressure washers are great for removing dirt and stains off your walls without the need to excessively brush them manually. With just a quick wave and a strong spray of water, it's like scraping off dirt from your home's exterior with a magic wand. However, pressure washers are much more complicated than this, and knowing the right way to power wash could help you maximize the use of this handy equipment.

Though a pressure washer is stronger than a garden hose, not all are cut for the job especially the smaller electric powered ones. While electric washers are great for cars, furniture, and other relatively smaller objects, the objective of a smaller electric one is to effectively clean without damaging your things. So if you're power washing your exteriors, it's better to choose the bigger gas engine models.

Another thing to consider is the nozzle you'll put at the tip of your washer. Some nozzles direct a more focused jet or stream of water, while some are built for wider sprays. Each nozzle would also add to the pressure on your washer, so be sure to find out which one will do the job efficiently.


Power washing is a great way to avoid having to use your hands to wash your home inch by inch. However, make sure you now how to use them the right way.
