This post was created to answer common questions about whether certain surfaces or items can be power washed. Continue reading to find out which surfaces can safely be power washed.
Can You Power Wash Vinyl Siding?
Yes. Yes. Power washing machines clean vinyl siding faster than hand scrubbing. Vinyl siding can be washed with a power washer. However, it is best to have an experienced user.
Can You Power Wash Aluminium Siding?
Yes. A power washer can clean aluminium well. Aluminium is more difficult than vinyl, so you should be cautious. Too high a pressure setting could damage or remove aluminium siding paint.
Can You Pressure Wash Stucco?
Yes, although stucco is softer than aluminium or vinyl, it can still be pressure washing in NJ. Stucco is cleaned using a soft-wash process that uses specialized cleaners to do most of the work. We use light but appropriate pressure with the power washer wand to rinse away the contaminants.
Can You Power Wash Brick?
Yes. Yes. Brick is porous, so algae and other contaminants can soak into the brick siding and even begin to eat away mortar and grout. It is safe to wash brick by soft washing.
Can You Power Wash Concrete?
Yes. Concrete is porous, just like a brick. Concrete surfaces can become discoloured from dirt, grime, and other contaminants. Power washing can clean concrete pores and make them look new by using low pressure.
Can You Pressure Wash Pavers?
Yes. Yes. You can power wash pavers to remove soils and other contaminants. Although loose sand is almost certain to be emitted during power washing, getting the joints refilled is relatively easy.
Is it possible to power wash a roof?
No. No. Shingles are extremely soft, so you should not use pressure when cleaning them. You can safely apply a treatment to eliminate any existing algae, moths, or lichens. We treat thousands of roofs yearly using a power washer attachment that sprays the roof at the same pressure as a garden hose.
Can You Power Wash Windows?
Yes. Yes. While you can use a power washer for washing windows, nothing beats a microfiber cloth or squeegee. You must be careful not to force water under the windows when washing them.
Can You Power Wash Furniture?
It’s possible. You can power wash some lawn furniture with very little pressure. Because of the high risk of damage, we avoid cleaning furniture outside.
Can you power wash a car?
Yes. Yes. However, it would be best to be cautious when using a power washer to clean your car. High pressure is not a good idea as it can cause contaminants to build up on the car’s topcoat. To remove larger contaminants, it is best to wash the car with a hose first.
Can You Pressure Wash Rugs?
No. Rugs can be washed with a carpet scrubber. You could cause damage to your rug if you force wash it.
Is it possible to power wash a refrigerator?
No. You can cause damage to your refrigerator by power washing it. It is better to use a general-purpose cleaner followed by disinfectant bleach.
Can you pressure wash a grill?
It’s kind of. A pressure washer can be used to clean a grill, but it won’t be easy. You can do it, but you must scrub the grill with a steel brush. Be careful with the cleanser that you use. You will use the grill for cooking food.
