    My mom bought me a cheap power washer as a gift to try and get me into power washing. It’s not the best or strongest, but I have tried it and it’s kinda fun. I think I’m gonna do it as a side hobby and try to extend it into an actual business.

    Excellent video. Down to earth, straight to point. I like the part where you referred to surface cleaner flying up. I used it initially and I thought I wasn't putting enough pressure to hold it down. None of the pressure washing videos say this.
    It is very nice that you involved your dad and care for him (while 'pulling his leg'). Best wishes.
    I am in northwest too. So, I can relate to most of what you say. Great job. Keep these practical videos coming! Thank you.

    When I use my surface cleaner on my driveway depending on how dirty it is I’ll lift up the surface cleaner letting all of the dirt etc blow out from under it. Rinsing with a waterhose is the key for a clean surface!

    You didn’t mention that for any gas powered tool it is best to completely drain the gasoline and change the oil. It’s not directly power washer related, but a necessity. You can use a gas treatment, but draining and running it dry is best.

  • @mattalbrecht7471
    @mattalbrecht7471 Před 11 měsíci +2

    Certainly want to use a SEALANT meant for concrete and cement, because that water gets down inside the microchasms of the cement itself and the dust and the dirt and stuff gets down inside there and then that's what turns dark when it gets moldy and stuff with exposure to air a sealant will help keep it looking cleaner longer. Just based on experience cuz otherwise I can be out pressure washing that thing every other week

    I have one with the casters but frankly I just use the nozzles most of the time. I prefer making a mess. Oh yeah and if you're going to use your PW more than occasionally, invest in a rubber hose. Those ones that come with a lot of the PW are frustrating and tangle up.

    The old way also wears away the concrete which is why over time you start to see the pebbles in the concrete. This is called aggregate. Eventually you will weaken the surface

    Sorry. I have tried those surface cleaning extensions. They don’t work as well as standard extension wand with 20 degree, not 15 degree. If you work slower and steady, you get great results with average / non commercial grade power washers.

  • @Richard_L_Y
    @Richard_L_Y Před měsícem

    Take the 'skin' off concrete et-al with too aggressive power washing, means dirt, mosses, weeds, etc, will come back far worse and be much harder to remove in future; try 'Sodium Hypochlorite' 15% then diluted (carefully) first (keep away from grass etc).
