pressure washer spray tips image
mmiller751
I'm going to pressure wash my house before painting it. Someone told me not to run bleach through my pressure washer. I'm thinking of using a deck sprayer to spray on the bleach/water mixture to clean the exterior of the house if it's not a good idea to run the bleach through the pressure washer. What say you?

I am a 37 year experienced painter and pressure wash every exterior I do.. I also repair airless sprayers,pressure washers,compressors etcetera...A pressure washer has a solvent tube on it for mixing/applying your cleaning agents or they simply have the black tip to attach that is a solvent tip..or the cheaper ones have a twisting adjusting nozzle on them that when in the fullest open mode applies the solvents...I have ALWAYS used bleach in my pressure washers for over 25 years and it does no harm at all..if the washer has the soolvent tube on it simply put it in the bottle of bleach and when you attach the black tip on the wand it will dispense it accordingly...when you change the tip after bleaching to a washing tip..it will stop dispensing it..I actually use the 12%m chlorine I buy from a swimming pool place in mine and not the 5% in common stores...This is over twice the strength of common bleach, and it has not harmed a pressure washer as of yet...The important part is flushing the washer out and dispensing tube of the bleach after using..IT WILL NOT HARM THE PRESSURE WASHER...

What can I do with my pressure washer?

I rented a 4000 psi pressure washer to strip all of the old peeling paint on my deck. Is this too much pressure to clean my aluminum siding as well? I'd assume windows will be out of the question?
Also, does anyone have any good tips since it came with no manual?
I have enough common sense not to spray anybody with it! :)
Thanks for your help!!
Answer
Pressure washers usually have like 3-4 different heads with different spray patterns. if you do not have different heads just change your distance to the object to change the pressure hitting the object. Windows are ok but might leak a little while doing it, siding is ok, make shure when you do your deck you do not start to eat into the wood
