My mom bought me a cheap power washer as a gift to try and get me into power washing. It’s not the best or strongest, but I have tried it and it’s kinda fun. I think I’m gonna do it as a side hobby and try to extend it into an actual business.

Really great info and a great video demonstration! Well done! My dad is 82 now and he still doesn't follow directions or safety protocols. Just an old school dad thing. Funny how they look out for us when we're young and then we spend the rest of our lives trying to do the same thing for them

Good to see your Tatay helping out with the process. Melin hats are awesome too

Excellent video. Down to earth, straight to point. I like the part where you referred to surface cleaner flying up. I used it initially and I thought I wasn't putting enough pressure to hold it down. None of the pressure washing videos say this. It is very nice that you involved your dad and care for him (while 'pulling his leg'). Best wishes. I am in northwest too. So, I can relate to most of what you say. Great job. Keep these practical videos coming! Thank you.

Terrific tutorial. Thank you. I have a three-year-old K'ARCHER pressure washer and this round unit is going to be a great addition. Good job on proper safety.

I discovered that thing a few years ago. I had a 150’ driveway at the time. It was a game changer for sure.

When I use my surface cleaner on my driveway depending on how dirty it is I’ll lift up the surface cleaner letting all of the dirt etc blow out from under it. Rinsing with a waterhose is the key for a clean surface!

I have the same surface cleaner. The only thing I wish it had was brass nuts. The plastic ones will come loose on occasion. The surface cleaner makes the job %75 faster on large driveways.

Hell yea thanks for the video good vibes and straight to the point i learn alot bro, i wanna get into this for a side hustle and maybe make it into something else

"It will fly off like a flying saucer" 😂

You didn’t mention that for any gas powered tool it is best to completely drain the gasoline and change the oil. It’s not directly power washer related, but a necessity. You can use a gas treatment, but draining and running it dry is best.

thank you man this was really informative

Water flow is key when pressure washing. I made one from my old pump which puts out 2000 psi and 6 Gpm. No zebra strips.

Can you use this same method for asphalt driveways?

Do you add any SH to the concrete?

I have one with the casters but frankly I just use the nozzles most of the time. I prefer making a mess. Oh yeah and if you're going to use your PW more than occasionally, invest in a rubber hose. Those ones that come with a lot of the PW are frustrating and tangle up.

What if you just use regular simple green?

I would think for commercial pressure washing , a gasoline pressure washer would be the only choice . But , what size engine , PSI and gallons per minute .

I didn't know there was a wrong way😀

Can i use my electric power washer with that scrubber

Certainly want to use a SEALANT meant for concrete and cement, because that water gets down inside the microchasms of the cement itself and the dust and the dirt and stuff gets down inside there and then that's what turns dark when it gets moldy and stuff with exposure to air a sealant will help keep it looking cleaner longer. Just based on experience cuz otherwise I can be out pressure washing that thing every other week

Do u have a recommendation on a surface cleaner for my electric 3000 psi pressure washer??

@FixThisHouse

Hi! Here’s a great cleaner I use: amzn.to/49pTOcC

If it stops spinning - take the nozzles off and check if one is clogged. Some can change the angle some can't, but that is the other possible issue.

How about a asphalt drive way? How do you clen that?

The old way also wears away the concrete which is why over time you start to see the pebbles in the concrete. This is called aggregate. Eventually you will weaken the surface

Dads are the same everywhere.

Pro tip - add weight to the top of the surface cleaner. It makes it a lot easier.

I'm with your dad on trading in boots for sandals.

Looking foraward to electric PWs with pressure as high as gas systems. ICE is a no-no for me.

Sorry. I have tried those surface cleaning extensions. They don’t work as well as standard extension wand with 20 degree, not 15 degree. If you work slower and steady, you get great results with average / non commercial grade power washers.

To pronounce the surface cleaner name is "kaar chr" by searching up the acutal name karcher. So you can say car and then cher.

Take the 'skin' off concrete et-al with too aggressive power washing, means dirt, mosses, weeds, etc, will come back far worse and be much harder to remove in future; try 'Sodium Hypochlorite' 15% then diluted (carefully) first (keep away from grass etc).

Bro that’s a pressure washer with an attachment

Funny how your dad didn't take your advice and was operating the washer in his flip flops....

okay you never tell us what the proper PSI is

Why would Karcher be hard to pronounce? Have you ever had a car? Have you ever seen an archer? Have you ever heard of portmanteau? Oh, well.
