| Preparation |
|
Do not use a pressure washer while standing on a ladder. Use scaffolding or an extension wand to reach high
areas. Always use both hands to hold the wand while in operation.
|
- Turn off the power to all exterior lights and receptacles and test them to ensure
that the power is indeed off. Cover all exterior lights and receptacles
with plastic and secure it in place. When you are washing the house,
always try to spray away from outlets and lights.
- Cover all plants with plastic sheeting or dropcloths to protect them. Use clear plastic, not black. Remove it as quickly as
possible after cleaning, otherwise heat buildup under the plastic may damage your plants.
- Ensure that all windows are closed. If you have removable screens, remove them. Always try to spray away from the
J-channel around windows and doors, to avoid damaging or loosening the J-channel.
- Repair
any loose siding panels.

|
Use only cleaning solutions recommended by the pressure washer manufacturer. Some household cleaners may
damage your pressure washer.
