Sometimes a hose and soapy water just doesnÂ’t cut it. For big messes and thick grime, you are much better using pressure washing than elbow grease. Many people have had moments (usually after getting on their hands and knees, scrubbing dirt with a toothbrush) where they realize just how handy a high-powered cleaning device can be. While not everyone can benefit from professional pressure washing, there are many jobs even just around the house that can be done in half the time and with better results using this washing machine timer method.

Whether you are thinking of renting or buying a pressure washing machine, here are some common ways they can be used every day.VehiclesWeÂ’re not just talking the family car, here. Take your filthy boat that has been docked because, well, itÂ’s filthy. Or maybe youÂ’ve got a motorcycle or dirt bike that has seen better days. Perhaps youÂ’re a regular off road driver and are getting sick and tired of dried mud coating your tires. Whatever the transport, a pressure washing machine can blast away the crud faster than your kids can complain about having to wash the car. Not only will the job be done in a fraction of the time that it would take you to scrub it down by hand, but youÂ’ll save on professional washes, get dirt out of the tiniest cracks, and enjoy doing it. YouÂ’ll probably argue with the kids over whose turn it is to clean the truck.Outdoor Furniture and DecksYou know that hammock or chair that used to be fantastic but no one will dare sit in anymore? ThatÂ’s because it is probably chock full of spiders and other nasty critters that no one wants cozying up next to them. Take a high-powered pressure washing hose though and zap those insects and mold away. No more sweeping the deck just to have it covered in leaves again. Your family will want to go outdoors more and youÂ’ll have a good reason for outdoor barbecues and entertaining again.HouseDoes your house look a bit grimy or aged compared with the others on the block? Rather than a paint job, consider hosing down the dirty walls so you can actually see the proper coloring. You can get into those hard to reach places and give your home a cheap and efficient makeover with much less effort than having to repaint the entire thing.

Use caution, however, because too strong of a setting can blast the paint right off if it is chipping. Sidewalk and GardenWant to give your garden or home more curb appeal? Pressure washing is a great way to clean up dirt that has overflowed onto the sidewalk or concrete, and it can help you hedge the edges of your lawn by quickly tidying up the grass. You can also use it to clean out your lawnmower safely and efficiently without worrying about having to get near the blades. ItÂ’s also a fast way to blast those pesky fall leaves out of your gutter to keep the drains clear.
