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.
