Using a Surface Cleaner for Efficient Pressure Washing
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:
Attach the surface cleaner to your pressure washer wand. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper attachment.
Start at the furthest corner: Engage the trigger and begin working your way backwards in a steady, overlapping motion.
Maintain a slight downward angle: This helps ensure the cleaning solution reaches beneath the surface cleaner for optimal cleaning.
Overlap your cleaning passes: Ensure each pass slightly overlaps the previous one to avoid streaking or missed spots once surface is dry.
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.
