Pressure washing is a fantastic way to clean a variety of surfaces.
They offer a versatile option for removing all kinds of grime and filth, and are particularly useful in industrial and construction spaces.
However, if you’re not well versed in using a pressure washer, it’s easy to make a costly, or damaging mistake.
This could cost you money, time and stress in the long run. Therefore, it’s best to know the potential risks, and how to avoid them.
Damaging Surfaces
Improper use of a pressure washer can actually result in damage to the surfaces you’re trying to clean.
Obviously, this can result in additional repair costs, a complete waste of time, and a big headache for you.
For instance, if you’re pressure washing concrete, you can degrade the surface by using too much pressure, or by holding the nozzle too close.
Furthermore, using the wrong nozzle can also cause damage.
Other surfaces that can be easily affected by poor use are painted surfaces, wood, bricks and outdoor paving.
Pollution
When operating a pressure washer, you need to be careful about the type and amount of cleaning agents that you use.
Using certain chemicals, or allowing waste to end up in storm water, can have a terrible impact on the environment.

Failing to Maintain Equipment
When you regularly use a pressure washer, it needs to be maintained properly.
Replace parts promptly, clean it often and ensure that you protect your power leads and water hoses when operating it.
If you don’t maintain your equipment properly, it’s probable that you’ll need to replace your pressure washer prematurely.
In the end, that costs you or your business.
