Some pressure washers may require additional items to achieve the desired outcome without damages. Here are common ones that might come in handy:
Surface cleaners: For large surface cleaning, a spray wand may not be enough. Having a surface cleaner does the job more efficiently with its internal rotating bar. These work best on decks, wooden floors, and driveways. Be sure to check with your manufacturer as to the kind of surface cleaner will work best with washers PSI.
Brushes: Similar to surface cleaners, brushes work on smaller surface areas. These will help clean boats, wheelie trash bins and patio furniture with your pressure washer.
Turbo Tips: These accessories work best on focused cleanings like small crevices and hard-to-reach edges. This nozzle can rotate to a 0 degree squirting 3000 rpm of water. These are best for cleaning parking lots and driveways, removing oil, grease, and gum.
Lances/Wands: Though most pressure washers come with a spray wand, you may upgrade to these types (depending on use): telescoping wand, steel wand, longer wand with quick connect, or wands with a nozzle to adjust pressure by turning the device. These are particularly effective in cleaning gutters or places where it may require additional length to increase cleaning reach.
Brooms: It works similarly like a surface cleaner and scrubs brush except that it distributes water in 2 to 3 sprays embedded in the broom. This is to clean wider areas that won’t require high pressure that may cause damage to the surface.
Foamers: These can be attached to the end of the spray gun. These devices mix water coming from the pressure washer mixed with detergent in the foamer container. This makes car cleaning easier and faster.
Spray guns: Most pressure washers have this as part of the equipment. However, an upgrade to a stainless-steel one may lengthen the use of this accessory and may not require you to find replacements for extended periods of time.
Water filters: Contaminants may accelerate wear and tear of your equipment. A water filter takes out the contaminants to keep your machine clean and functioning optimally. This accessory can come in handy for collecting water from a rain collection tank.
