Pressure washer (kinda like painting) is something everyone seems to think they can do ... without training and/or practice.
*Be warned*: Never start the spray of a power washer pointed directly at the surface you intend to clean. What I mean is … start the spray, only then fade into the surface you are power washing. You do this, especially on painted surfaces, as to avoid accidentally removing large hunks of material.
... it is really a little bit like, well, sweeping, just with hi-powered, pressurized water. Following a few basic steps you can get the most out of every cleaning. To read more (and to get a good look at my thigh tan, ha!) below .... Enjoy! ~jb
