I would agree with grandma. Though I would first try a powerful hand sprayer before using a powerwasher. Rarely is the powerwasher needed unless you are trying to strip paint.
Make sure they are all outdoor rated. If you are unsure, cover with plastic to be on the safe side. Removing anything breakable is advised if the operator of the pressure washer isn't experienced. We've never done anything to ours but everything is rated for outside and all outlets have built in, weather proof covers.
Only if you carefully power wash ONLY the floor. And it would still be a good idea to turn the power off to the ceiling fan first. But water and electricity are a very bad combo.
Water and electricity never mix and you could get electrocuted. I would cut the power and thoroughly bag and tape the entire fan off if you need to wash the ceiling. If your intent is to clean the walls and ceiling there are other methods. What type of walls or siding do you have? What type of ceiling is on the porch? We can find safer methods for you with a bit more info.
You can power wash the ceiling but I would not let it touch the fan and light. In fact I would probably cover the fan and light with a plastic bag or something that would keep water off.
Hello, you should cover the electrical and DO NOT direct any of the spray towards them, if you do get them damp, allow at least 24 hours to dry before you try to turn them on. Wash the rest of the porch, using a damp mop for sensitive areas, hope this helps you out
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

I recently used Wet & Forget on some wood siding and haven't seen results, yet. I sprayed it on the house about a month ago and wanted to see if I should give it ...

My question as I watched these grandparents was always, "Why are you sweeping your yards, and why is there no grass around your house?" We have grass around ours.
Hi Nancy yep you will just have to be careful. I would remove all glass covers and light bulbs and then cover sockets with plastic.

Take plastic and cover the ceiling fan tape it up and wash away
No! Don’t do it! It will short it out!
I would either take down the fan before powerwashing or avoid that area. Good luck!

If you are just washing the floor, turn off the power and go ahead.

I would not really power wash it ...
Maybe cover the fan and light? I would not want to get water on the fan/light.
