It is good to mention that pressure washing vinyl siding is not recommended. Some folks do it but it can create tremendous problems. If you are pointing the wand up, it can easily blow water behind the vinyl. If the house is over 20 years old it likely will not have house wrap behind the vinyl which means the sheathing and possibly the insulation will get wet. It can take days or weeks for it to dry out and mold and mildew will grow inside the walls of your house and cause all kinds of respiratory problems for the homeowner.
Trying to get out of washing the house ehh? Mold and mildew grows inside grooves of the vinyl siding. Start from the top and work down. Point the nozzle down.
@@jimbeam4111yeah, that's whybhe said moisture intrusion can happen if you are pointing the the wand up
A pressure washer is perfectly safe for cars, but just try and stay at or below about 1800 psi and keep at least about 8 inches of distance from the paint. Also, ALMOST all drive-thru car washes use some form of high-pressure watering systems... food for thought in case you still don't believe my first statement.
Thanks 🙏- I am planning to do the same to my house. Y’all really helped by going step by step.
Thank you! Helped a lot when I pressure washed my house this week!
Great Vid, thanks Monica and Lowe's Home Improvement.
Really hoping for more The Weekender episodes!
Thank you Lowes for the educational video.
These videos are super helpful! I would love to see more episodes!
Thank you very much for sharing this information. Keep up the good work. God bless
Beautiful! I enjoyed watching your video. It is very informative so now I feel I'm ready to do some work at our house. Thank you.
This is superb. Very complete, thorough, detailed (but not too much) and beautifully presented. Thank you!
Very good explanation for pressure washing, and operating a pressure washer.
Thanks, lots of great tips!
You can wash a car with a pressure washer, just need to attach the right tip and keep the right amount of distance. All car detailers use pressures washing techniques and foam cannon's.
Yeah she was completely off base with that statement.
This is a general use video, so this is more of a disclaimer to ensure that both she and lowes would not be caught up with a person who misused their pressure washer on their car.
"Choose the right tip for the job." She said it....
@@Chu_on_This exactly because there's going to be idiots who do it the wrong way, damge their vehicle, and then try to sue Lowes.
Facts!
Great explanation! Thanks!
Pressure washers are the greatest thing since the microchip! Great video!
And it’s amazing to look at it cleaning, so satisfying
These episodes are amazing 🤩
Another great tutorial by Monica… maybe this could be the next episode of the weekender
I learned something great here. Hope to start a business soon. Thanks lowes for this video.
Did you start one?
She was so exciting to watch plus I learned so much! 😊 🙏🏾
pressure washing has got to be the most satisfying thing
Please make more episodes of the weekender
My first time using a pressure washer, this video was just what I needed and I enjoyed the hosts!
Great video thanks!
Very informative video. Thank you!
These pressure washers work really well for washing a driveway before you applying driveway sealant.
Driveway sealant? Would you consider expanding on that info? I'm sure I can look it up but if you have any tips and brand recommendations and quick info, that would be awesome. Didn't even know you could seal a driveway. I would imagine that would prevent mold from growing on it?
Thanks for the value 😊😊😊
Ok - The Weekender please! Your show and GOT are the only shows I live for
Being in a favorites list with GOT is awesome! lol Thanks for watching!
Helpful - thanks.
Thanks for the tips.
This was really helpful! Thanks!
I love this woman!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing ☺️☺️
Loved this video and both ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Yes! I absolutely need this! I need to do this this summer and have never done it before. Thank you for creating this!
I am flipping a 1900 house in Clayton NC thanks to Monica. She always comes through start to finish. We love her!
I use a ladder all the time no problem. It beats lugging around that big extension pole I have and that is displayed here.
Can you vary the pressure on this unit other than changing tips? Can you vary the soap concentration on this pressure washer? Can you use this unit as a sprayer - spray on SPRAY AND FORGET? Good video and Thanks.
i love lowe's videos.
Keep Monica coming !! Can you do some more stuff related to rentals ? Would love some longer term temp upgrades.
Monica...You are the most knowledgable female in home improvement!
Great presentation, thank you for a clear professional video!
You're very welcome, Ervin!😊
Excellent !! Thank you!!
Thanks for the tip🙏
I was given a maximum PSI for cleaning the stone on my house, going as high as possible might clean faster, but it also risks damage. You can do most house cleaning with a PSI that is also safe for washing cars, no need to go super high.
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Mauricio Marvin Instablaster =)
@Layton Franco Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Layton Franco It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
@Mauricio Marvin glad I could help =)
Got a Pitch hovel. Green and blue rainbow sheen Callifourinus (specie). We invest petroleum and metal to stereo batteries as an in of ence. That's July.
Thanks good 💁 information USMC
Great video
How do I get you to come to my home!?? Your videos are great! Thanks so much! :)
Great info and tips....💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Very helpful
3:07 What's the white tip called? Seems to be producing wideer pattern than a 40 degree tip.
Excellently detailed and clear.
Maybe I'm missing something, as I don't have or never used a "new" gas pressure washer. But shouldn't they made a point of purging the air out of the line, before starting the engine.
Every time before you start the engine
Is there a specific button that would let out cleaner fluid only at low pressure? How does this applying cleaning solution part works?
Great Video
Thank you.
Hi. Can we use electric pressure washer to do this kind of cleaning?
I want more episodes!!
Thankyou😊
I still use a pressure washer on my car since its PSI rating is lower than usual. I just keep my distance and use the nozzle with the widest angle as well as making sure not to keep it shooting at a specific spot for more than like 4 seconds. Whatever’s there that I can’t get I just end up getting later.
How can you get red dirty/mud off the bottom of the house that's probably been there over 10 years.
Why should you not refill while it’s hot? How long will it take to cool down if you do wait? There’s no live flame why can’t you refuel ?
Mine has 25 degree its the only one i use cleaning any surface
Does pressure washing the brick rust beat using a brush to scrub it off?
What about cedar siding?
You can pressure wash a car. I use the electric model. It's only 1700 psi compared to a gas 2300+ psi model. I also use a green (15°) nozzle designed for gas. It cuts the pressure way back. This is a similar setup mobile car wash guys use on power inverters or portable generators.
Most if the time you dont want to use high pressure on a house and every Auto detail shop uses pressure washers on cars. Never start the pressure washer without having trigger pulled
Nearly broke my arm that way when I was new
Iv done jobs for lows and there’s a reason why they have to sub contract
I’m hoping there’s a how to paint a house exterior video too!
Danae Goliath keep watching! May have something for you in the near future.
Do you also power wash the glass windows and window screens?
Dust for cobwebs with a broom first. Water just glued the web to the surface.cleaners don’t really help unless you’re trying to kill mildew.
Good information! I ruined my deck with a pressure washer - mainly because I had no clue what I was doing.
What did you do specifically, I'm intrigued.😂
First of all, it was my first time using a pressure washer and I borrowed the washer. I have a 900 SQ ft deck and I was hand scrubbing it to restain it. My neighbor came over and said I could do it in a fraction of the time with his power washer. Intrigued, I went for it. I finished scrubbing by hand and he showed me how to use it and I proceeded to power wash my deck. He was correct, it was fast and it removed the old stain beautifully. My deck was back to original wood color and I was excited at restaining my deck so quickly. But as it dried and I started inspecting the wood, the pressure washer shredded the wood fibers and actually gouged out grooves in some spots. I spent the next 5 days sanding trying to bring the smooth wood back and filling in the deeply gouged areas with a resin wood putty. After watching this video I realized my mistake. He had the 0° tip on there for his brick home. Changing tips was never mentioned so I never questioned it.
Should u even preasure clean wood. I think a deck can be cleaned with just a swapper now and then ?
Tanks
What pressure do I use for the soap?
in stead of useing a diffrent wond you culd get a j rod its like 15 to 20 bucs
We need more Monica, Weekender and a season 5... like ASAP 🥺🥺🥺
FYI...YES, You CAN use a pressure washer to clean your car or truck! Just look for the attachment for vehicles. I have one and have washed my truck with my pressure washer and NO paint came off of my truck, so don't listen to people that claim you can't pressure wash your vehicles!
How do you wash a soffit?
If I have to wait for it to cool down than I wouldn't want to go with a gas powered washer, I don't have the patience to wait! LOL Good video though, very informative!
Does anyone know the best cheapest plant safe cleaner?
What kind of cleaning solution do you use to clean a shingle roof??
Debbie Craddock run 🏃♀️

How to clean rain gutters from the ground?
P;ease bring back the Weekender!!!!!!
Wonder if the blue house and blue shirts were specific requirements from Marketing?
Use pool chlorine in your soap additive tank when you're done wasting time with the box store house cleaners.
What micro you recommend ,do you do this with your pressure washer
Dont put chlorine in your pressure washer* smfh. Put it in a pump sprayer & pretreat before washing* dont listen to this moron.
How is vinyl siding pressure washed? Don’t you have to be careful not to point the wand up?
Call a pro who offers Soft Washing. This video is how the rookies clean. High pressure should only be used to clean concrete. Not a house. Soft Washing is much more efficient and delivers better results.
@@MikeHoncho69420 That’s what I did-hired a professional who offered Soft Washing. Thanks.
What to do about cleaning dirty windows and the screens over them?
I hand wash with all purpose cleaner,sponge.and scrub the screen by hand.Than rinse with water hose.Check your seal around your window inside and out.If need to reculk.
How do u do the 2nd floor. It has vinyl siding. Its a mountain house and land is very uneven for a ladder. Any tips. I got 1800 psi
electric one.
I have the same question. Three story Victorian house with vinyl siding. How high can I clean effectively without using a ladder?
What happens if the paint starts to fall off
How much psi for algae filled stone wall?
@13:05 🤣 that poor lizard
I would recommend Soft Washing over pressure washing much safer!
Would have been nice to show how to pressure wash other surfaces, like wood fencing,decking, vinyl siding....and also show how to use electric pressure washer, because when you use electric you have to do certain procedures so that water does not drip toward you extension cord connection ....ok video, but could have been a little more detailed for all types of washers
I don't know for sure as I'm still watching this one, but maybe they have a separate video for electric? If not, there are definitely some other great how-to and tips for electric pressure washers on CZcams :)
No difference. Use a grounded plug. Done.
Where are the new Weekender's episodes? Monica is so great... I miss The Weekender
What about the windows? I did this but the windows were dirty from the water.
Do you take off screens
MONICA!!!!! 😍 Wish I knew all this before I 1st used the pressure washer 😍 Specially about the clothes 🤣🤣🤣 Let me just say that washing muddy ciment it was a "beauty mask" adventure 🤣🤣🤣 When is your WEEKENDER coming back? 😍
safety is somewhere in the top five...
