It\u2019s no secret that pressure washing<\/a> is both quick and easy, and it\u2019s definitely satisfying to see it lift dirt and stains with ease. With its highly powerful spray, buildups of grime and mildew don\u2019t stand a chance. While it\u2019s great for tackling tough surfaces like your concrete driveway, pressure washing<\/a> is definitely not a procedure you can afford to make a mistake with. In actuality, the aggressive spray can cause permanent damage to many materials, most of which you\u2019ll commonly find around your own home. Here are just a few items that should never be treated with a pressure washer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows or any sort of glass should be avoided at all costs. The spray of a pressure washer can cause shattering and cracks, or even force water into the internal structure of the home.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stained or Painted Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want your wooden surface to stay beautifully finished, definitely don\u2019t treat it with a pressure washer. The force can remove both stain and paint, causing it to chip or fade. Additionally, the wood itself could be damaged, leaving behind etched or splintered areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Conditioning Units<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air conditioners are not only fragile, but they\u2019re also full of complex parts. They can definitely be a pain to clean, but never treat them with a pressure washer. Small fins and coils could instantly be crushed and bent, which would likely lead to issues of restricted air flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your home is in need of a refresh, don\u2019t just jump to pressure washing\u2014make sure you\u2019re aware of the materials that can and can\u2019t be pressure washed. You don\u2019t want to risk any costly damage and repairs! Call our team at The Powerwash Company<\/a> and we\u2019ll service your home with both quality and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
