Power washing can be very a very lucrative business,
although the work is seasonal. Here are some power washing tips to consider before starting your new business!
1. Don't take on large
jobs that you don't feel comfortable with. It is possible to damage materials if you are not certain how to clean them
properly. 2. Always be sure to check the oil level in your power washer’s engine and pump before
beginning. 3. Hook up a sturdy hose to supply water to the power washerbefore turning it on. 4. Check all the connections to be sure they are properly secure. 5. Always make sure the power washer’s exhaust is free of any debris, and that it is not
close to any surface that could melt; and make sure there is adequate ventilation for your machine. 6. After turning on your pressure washer device, don't allow the unit to run for more than a
minute without circulating water through the pump. 7. When changing the nozzle, make sure the it is fully seated in the quick connect (You should be able to
spin the nozzle while not under pressure if its seated correctly). 8. Be careful with your equipment. Always point the wand in a safe direction before pulling the trigger. 9. Don't get very close to any surface that may be damaged by too much pressure from your washer. 10. Never point the tip at yourself or anything else. A few hundred PSI can cause serious injury. 11. Always change the power washer’s and engine oil pump at least once a season.
12. Antifreeze the pump if your power washer unit is to be kept outdoors in colder
climates. 13. Remember to wear proper protective gear (eyewear, gloves, and a good ventilation mask). ________________________________________________________________________ Remember that window cleaning compliments a power washing business
