Pressure washers spray water between 1,300-3,000+ PSI. With that, it is incredibly important to properly and safely use a pressure washer to avoid injury to yourself and damage to your property.
Before using your particular pressure washer, you should always read the owner’s manual. This will tell you how to operate the pressure washer safely.
When washing your car, there is generally a specific nozzle that you will want to use. Be certain to use the correct nozzle, as using the wrong one could cause severe damage to the exterior of your car. For washing a car, you will want to use the low-pressure nozzle.
Next, wear protective clothing. It may be tempting to wear shorts and flip flops while washing your car, but it is best to wear long pants, close-toed shoes, and protective goggles.
Before turning on the pressure washer, be aware of your surroundings. Make sure there are no animals, children, or fragile items nearby.
Finally, always hold your pressure washer correctly. And never, ever point it at anyone!
