If the outside of your house has excess thick areas of dirt, grime or debris, or you need to get mud out of your vehicle, or maybe need to prepare a surface for painting in the coming days. Then you really need to have the power of a pressure washer on your side. The pressure washer speeds up laborious everyday tasks and can even make them enjoyable.

A great use for the pressure washer is when you have brick work or a fence that over the years has accumulated excess dirt or grime. Cleaning them using the power washer is no longer a chore and takes very little effort. It is recommended that you use a decent detergent that does not contain abrasive properties as just a standard pressure washer with water alone can get the job done fast. If you were to use an abrasive detergent then this may cause damage to, or permanently tarnish the surface, making it ugly and unrepairable.

Many people find that a pressure washer is convenient as well as efficient. It is simple to get out the pressure washer, start spraying and have the job done in no time. There is no mess to clean up, the water drains away, no cloths to clean or dry; the pressure washer simply folds up and slots away.

The pressure washer comes into its own when used on brickwork, and in particular when you are using it for the removal of graffiti. The steam pressure washer is the best for use in this instance and coupled with a slightly abrasive detergent, it can cut through the graffiti in very little time and with ease.

The final recommended use for the pressure washer is for cleaning the car. We have all used the jet wash at your local garage to clean our cars. But I bet that over the years you have accumulated a small fortune spent on the washing. Using your own pressure washer can save you not only money, but time and can be put to a thousand and one uses.

Ideally for the car a low powered pressure washer should suffice. And you may want to consider purchasing additional accessories to make life easy. A car wash brush, a rotating brush and some decent detergent designed for use on cars should do the trick nicely, but be careful not to use a sharp, harsh or abrasive detergent. Otherwise you may find that you have damaged your paint work or windows. Be sure to only buy the detergent from specialist car accessory shops.

The pressure washer can also be used for cleaning out drainage systems such as guttering on your house roof, we all know how frustrating those leaves are that block your drains in the autumn. A great accessory for this is the extendible handle to get right up in the guttering with out the need to climb yourself.

There are a thousand great uses for pressure washes around the house and home and I have mentioned a few. However you really should consider the purchase of a pressure washer to make the most of cleaning round the home.
