What are its uses and how can you really take advantage of its power? Well, you will find that pressure washers are the ultimate cleaning tool that you will ever use. For starters, you can use pressure washers to wash your car, truck or even RVs. In fact, most bus companies use pressure washers to wash the buses because it s a lot more efficient in cleaning than manually scrubbing and wiping it. The downside is that chemical degreasers can emit toxic and harmful fumes. Although this method can help you to easily remove grease and grime on any surface, it s not really recommended because of the harmful chemicals involved. This is why increasing numbers of people today are now buying pressure washers with water heaters. For example, we all know how difficult it is to remove car oil leaks on the floor of your garage or the barbecue grease stuck on your patio wood deck. The super heated water or steam coming out of the pressure washer can soften the grease and let you easily wash it off with the highly pressurized water coming out of the washer. This works well in removing stubborn stains and it can even strip away paint. The GPM or gallons per minute is another factor that you have to consider when buying a pressure washer. Normally, you will find that as the pressure increase the GPM will also increase. Basically, a higher GPM will mean that it will be able to cover more surface area in less time. With it, cleaning your patio wood deck, gutter, roof, garage concrete floor, and even your car will be a lot easier and a lot more efficient. However, if you plan on using a pressure washer for a much more difficult cleaning task, such as getting rid of grease from your garage s floor or using it extensively, then a hot water pressure washer is for you. Now that you are ready to use the pressure washer, the first thing that you need to do is to assess your cleaning project and develop a plan. If you are going to wash the siding or your fence, you may want to work from top to bottom. And, if you are working on your patio deck or your driveway, work downhill.
