A pressure washer is perfectly safe for cars, but just try and stay at or below about 1800 psi and keep at least about 8 inches of distance from the paint. Also, ALMOST all drive-thru car washes use some form of high-pressure watering systems... food for thought in case you still don't believe my first statement.
It is good to mention that pressure washing vinyl siding is not recommended. Some folks do it but it can create tremendous problems. If you are pointing the wand up, it can easily blow water behind the vinyl. If the house is over 20 years old it likely will not have house wrap behind the vinyl which means the sheathing and possibly the insulation will get wet. It can take days or weeks for it to dry out and mold and mildew will grow inside the walls of your house and cause all kinds of respiratory problems for the homeowner.
Trying to get out of washing the house ehh? Mold and mildew grows inside grooves of the vinyl siding. Start from the top and work down. Point the nozzle down.
@@jimbeam4111yeah, that's whybhe said moisture intrusion can happen if you are pointing the the wand up
You can wash a car with a pressure washer, just need to attach the right tip and keep the right amount of distance. All car detailers use pressures washing techniques and foam cannon's.
Yeah she was completely off base with that statement.
This is a general use video, so this is more of a disclaimer to ensure that both she and lowes would not be caught up with a person who misused their pressure washer on their car.
"Choose the right tip for the job." She said it....
@@Chu_on_This exactly because there's going to be idiots who do it the wrong way, damge their vehicle, and then try to sue Lowes.
Facts!
Thanks 🙏- I am planning to do the same to my house. Y’all really helped by going step by step.
Great Vid, thanks Monica and Lowe's Home Improvement.
Really hoping for more The Weekender episodes!
Thank you! Helped a lot when I pressure washed my house this week!
Thank you Lowes for the educational video.
These videos are super helpful! I would love to see more episodes!
Beautiful! I enjoyed watching your video. It is very informative so now I feel I'm ready to do some work at our house. Thank you.
This is superb. Very complete, thorough, detailed (but not too much) and beautifully presented. Thank you!
Thank you very much for sharing this information. Keep up the good work. God bless
These episodes are amazing 🤩
Thanks, lots of great tips!
Very good explanation for pressure washing, and operating a pressure washer.
Another great tutorial by Monica… maybe this could be the next episode of the weekender
pressure washing has got to be the most satisfying thing
Very informative video. Thank you!
I am flipping a 1900 house in Clayton NC thanks to Monica. She always comes through start to finish. We love her!
Loved this video and both ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Pressure washers are the greatest thing since the microchip! Great video!
And it’s amazing to look at it cleaning, so satisfying
This was really helpful! Thanks!
Great explanation! Thanks!
Thanks for the value 😊😊😊
i love lowe's videos.
My first time using a pressure washer, this video was just what I needed and I enjoyed the hosts!
I learned something great here. Hope to start a business soon. Thanks lowes for this video.
Did you start one?
Ok - The Weekender please! Your show and GOT are the only shows I live for
Being in a favorites list with GOT is awesome! lol Thanks for watching!
She was so exciting to watch plus I learned so much! 😊 🙏🏾
Please make more episodes of the weekender
Thanks for the tips.
Monica...You are the most knowledgable female in home improvement!
Thank you for sharing ☺️☺️
Great video thanks!
Excellent !! Thank you!!
Yes! I absolutely need this! I need to do this this summer and have never done it before. Thank you for creating this!
Great presentation, thank you for a clear professional video!
You're very welcome, Ervin!😊
I love this woman!
Can you vary the pressure on this unit other than changing tips? Can you vary the soap concentration on this pressure washer? Can you use this unit as a sprayer - spray on SPRAY AND FORGET? Good video and Thanks.
Thanks for the tip🙏
Keep Monica coming !! Can you do some more stuff related to rentals ? Would love some longer term temp upgrades.
Helpful - thanks.
Great info and tips....💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I use a ladder all the time no problem. It beats lugging around that big extension pole I have and that is displayed here.
Great video
Thanks for sharing
Got a Pitch hovel. Green and blue rainbow sheen Callifourinus (specie). We invest petroleum and metal to stereo batteries as an in of ence. That's July.
How do I get you to come to my home!?? Your videos are great! Thanks so much! :)
Very helpful
These pressure washers work really well for washing a driveway before you applying driveway sealant.
Driveway sealant? Would you consider expanding on that info? I'm sure I can look it up but if you have any tips and brand recommendations and quick info, that would be awesome. Didn't even know you could seal a driveway. I would imagine that would prevent mold from growing on it?
Great Video
Excellently detailed and clear.
3:07 What's the white tip called? Seems to be producing wideer pattern than a 40 degree tip.
Thankyou😊
I want more episodes!!
Is there a specific button that would let out cleaner fluid only at low pressure? How does this applying cleaning solution part works?
Thank you.
Do you also power wash the glass windows and window screens?
Why should you not refill while it’s hot? How long will it take to cool down if you do wait? There’s no live flame why can’t you refuel ?
Hi. Can we use electric pressure washer to do this kind of cleaning?
Thanks good 💁 information USMC
We need more Monica, Weekender and a season 5... like ASAP 🥺🥺🥺
FYI...YES, You CAN use a pressure washer to clean your car or truck! Just look for the attachment for vehicles. I have one and have washed my truck with my pressure washer and NO paint came off of my truck, so don't listen to people that claim you can't pressure wash your vehicles!
Maybe I'm missing something, as I don't have or never used a "new" gas pressure washer. But shouldn't they made a point of purging the air out of the line, before starting the engine.
Every time before you start the engine
You can pressure wash a car. I use the electric model. It's only 1700 psi compared to a gas 2300+ psi model. I also use a green (15°) nozzle designed for gas. It cuts the pressure way back. This is a similar setup mobile car wash guys use on power inverters or portable generators.
I still use a pressure washer on my car since its PSI rating is lower than usual. I just keep my distance and use the nozzle with the widest angle as well as making sure not to keep it shooting at a specific spot for more than like 4 seconds. Whatever’s there that I can’t get I just end up getting later.
Does pressure washing the brick rust beat using a brush to scrub it off?
I was given a maximum PSI for cleaning the stone on my house, going as high as possible might clean faster, but it also risks damage. You can do most house cleaning with a PSI that is also safe for washing cars, no need to go super high.
I guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Mauricio Marvin Instablaster =)
@Layton Franco Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Layton Franco It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
@Mauricio Marvin glad I could help =)
Dust for cobwebs with a broom first. Water just glued the web to the surface.cleaners don’t really help unless you’re trying to kill mildew.
Most if the time you dont want to use high pressure on a house and every Auto detail shop uses pressure washers on cars. Never start the pressure washer without having trigger pulled
Nearly broke my arm that way when I was new
Good information! I ruined my deck with a pressure washer - mainly because I had no clue what I was doing.
What did you do specifically, I'm intrigued.😂
First of all, it was my first time using a pressure washer and I borrowed the washer. I have a 900 SQ ft deck and I was hand scrubbing it to restain it. My neighbor came over and said I could do it in a fraction of the time with his power washer. Intrigued, I went for it. I finished scrubbing by hand and he showed me how to use it and I proceeded to power wash my deck. He was correct, it was fast and it removed the old stain beautifully. My deck was back to original wood color and I was excited at restaining my deck so quickly. But as it dried and I started inspecting the wood, the pressure washer shredded the wood fibers and actually gouged out grooves in some spots. I spent the next 5 days sanding trying to bring the smooth wood back and filling in the deeply gouged areas with a resin wood putty. After watching this video I realized my mistake. He had the 0° tip on there for his brick home. Changing tips was never mentioned so I never questioned it.
Should u even preasure clean wood. I think a deck can be cleaned with just a swapper now and then ?
If I have to wait for it to cool down than I wouldn't want to go with a gas powered washer, I don't have the patience to wait! LOL Good video though, very informative!
in stead of useing a diffrent wond you culd get a j rod its like 15 to 20 bucs
"DoNT UsE a PReSURre WaSheR fOr YOuR CAr" 😂😂😂😂
But foam cannons tho!
I have runt mine then doing it for 18 years has done it in...
I laughed so hard. Literally, pro detailers use pressure washers. Automatic wash tunnels are worse for your paint than someone with a pressure washer who knows what they’re doing
Liability issues dipshit. If you arent smart enough to figure that out well idk what to tell you
Tanks
Wonder if the blue house and blue shirts were specific requirements from Marketing?
What pressure do I use for the soap?
I’m hoping there’s a how to paint a house exterior video too!
Danae Goliath keep watching! May have something for you in the near future.
P;ease bring back the Weekender!!!!!!
Does anyone know the best cheapest plant safe cleaner?
I use a pressure washer to clean my truck all the time. I use low pressure 1200psi and a 40° tip. It works perfect. Don't tell me what to do. 😂
go to any DIY car wash those are also pressure washers.. So yeah I use it for my car as well
I laughed when she said that
I think they are more concerned with the newbie using the 0 degree tip for their new cars...
MF Wesley 😂😂 that’s the only reason I bought a Pressure washer
I use a pressure washer as well, appropriately sized orifice 40 deg tip lowers the pressure and is safe for cars.
@13:05 🤣 that poor lizard
How can you get red dirty/mud off the bottom of the house that's probably been there over 10 years.
I would recommend Soft Washing over pressure washing much safer!
Where are the new Weekender's episodes? Monica is so great... I miss The Weekender
I wonder how many guys that own a pressure washing company watch this shaking their head lol! We would be done in less than an hour. #softwashing
Duuuude SH all the way… 2.4 gpm 😬
As an exterior cleaning professional, i cant help but laugh at this video
New to home ownership...well actually I have been here 5 years but new to deciding that since I no longer have a landlord I need to learn some things. It seems like everybody else in the world knows more than me. 😕
What kind of cleaning solution do you use to clean a shingle roof??
Debbie Craddock run 🏃♀️
SH And Surfactant
What about cedar siding?
Use pool chlorine in your soap additive tank when you're done wasting time with the box store house cleaners.
What micro you recommend ,do you do this with your pressure washer
Dont put chlorine in your pressure washer* smfh. Put it in a pump sprayer & pretreat before washing* dont listen to this moron.
I see a lizard run up the house on the left side when you started spraying the cleaner ❤️
grate vido for brick with rust dont just use the soap all so hit it with a 15 or turbo
How do u do the 2nd floor. It has vinyl siding. Its a mountain house and land is very uneven for a ladder. Any tips. I got 1800 psi
electric one.
I have the same question. Three story Victorian house with vinyl siding. How high can I clean effectively without using a ladder?
How much psi for algae filled stone wall?
Lookin gangsta with that pressure washer
Iv done jobs for lows and there’s a reason why they have to sub contract
MONICA!!!!! 😍 Wish I knew all this before I 1st used the pressure washer 😍 Specially about the clothes 🤣🤣🤣 Let me just say that washing muddy ciment it was a "beauty mask" adventure 🤣🤣🤣 When is your WEEKENDER coming back? 😍
How is vinyl siding pressure washed? Don’t you have to be careful not to point the wand up?
Call a pro who offers Soft Washing. This video is how the rookies clean. High pressure should only be used to clean concrete. Not a house. Soft Washing is much more efficient and delivers better results.
@@MikeHoncho69420 That’s what I did-hired a professional who offered Soft Washing. Thanks.
How do you wash a soffit?
You should have used a modern gas can to fill up the machine. That way the user can get a good idea of how much gas to expect to have all over the pressure washer and themselves.
