Planning to use a pressure washer on your deck, driveway, or other parts of your home’s exterior this summer? While pressure washing can be an effective way to clean surfaces, it’s crucial to prioritize safety to prevent accidents and injuries.
Before you start, ensure you’re wearing appropriate safety gear, including goggles, gloves, and sturdy footwear. The high-pressure water stream can cause serious injuries if it comes into contact with skin. Always read the manufacturer’s instructions and familiarize yourself with the equipment.
When setting up, make sure the area is clear of obstacles and that children and pets are kept at a safe distance. Check for any electrical outlets or wiring that could be damaged by the water.
When using the pressure washer, maintain a firm grip and keep the nozzle pointed away from yourself and others. Start with the lowest pressure setting to test the surface and gradually increase as needed. By following these safety precautions, you can enjoy a clean and safe home exterior this summer.
