At Hygienized High Pressure Cleaning, we're passionate about helping you achieve

a sparkling clean for your home exteriors.

A surface cleaner is a specialized attachment for your pressure washer that simplifies cleaning large, flat surfaces. It utilizes a rotating head with jets of water to clean the area uniformly, saving time and effort compared to using a standard spray nozzle. Professional surface cleaners allows the operator to change nozzles accordingly to the type of surface and dirt level of a project.

Here's when to consider using a surface cleaner:

• Large, flat surfaces: Driveways, walkways, patios, decks (with appropriate low pressure and nozzle for hard wood), and pool decks are ideal candidates for surface cleaner use.

• Consistent cleaning pattern: If you want a uniform clean across a large area, a surface cleaner delivers consistent results.

• Improved efficiency: Compared to a pressure washing gun equipped with a nozzle, surface cleaners cover a wider area and clean more quickly, efficiently and safely.

Choosing the Right Surface Cleaner:

• Size: Select a surface cleaner size that complements your pressure washer's capabilities and the size of the area you're cleaning.

• Pressure Rating: Ensure the surface cleaner's pressure rating is compatible with your pressure washer's maximum PSI.

• Material compatibility: Choose a surface cleaner material (e.g., plastic, stainless steel) suitable for the cleaning solution you'll be using long term. We highly recommend stainless steel.

Using a Surface Cleaner:

1. Attach the surface cleaner to your pressure washer wand. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper attachment.

2. Start at the furthest corner: Engage the trigger and begin working your way backwards in a steady, overlapping motion.

3. Maintain a slight downward angle: This helps ensure the cleaning solution reaches beneath the surface cleaner for optimal cleaning.

4. Overlap your cleaning passes: Ensure each pass slightly overlaps the previous one to avoid streaking or missed spots once surface is dry.

5. Rinse thoroughly: After cleaning the entire surface, use clean water to rinse away all cleaning solution residue.

Safety Tips:

• Always wear protective gear: Goggles, gloves, gumboots and long moisture resistant pants are crucial when pressure washing.

• Maintain a safe distance: Keep the surface cleaner flat on the surface and avoid directing the spray towards yourself or others.

• Be mindful of surroundings: Be aware of nearby plants, pets, or electrical components and take necessary precautions.
