Is a PSI pressure washer powerful enough to clean a deck and siding on a house? I want to prep my deck for painting and also want to wash the siding on the house. Thanks

Answer
â¢1500 through 1850 PSI â suggested best for cleaning decking, patios, sidewalks, or garage doors


â¢2000 through 3000 PSI â propose using this for cleaning larger decks, such as marina piers, siding, stucco, or fences

Would a 2200 psi pressure washer remove latex stain from a deck that is already pealing?

Would a 2200 psi pressure washer remove latex stain from a deck that is already pealing? its a 250 dollar pressure washer. How good could it be?

Answer
It should, but be careful. 2200 psi can do a lot of damage to wood. Using a good cleaner will help you immensely. Sherwin-Williams makes a great 3 part system for revitalizing decks. It starts with Stain and Sealer Remover. Use that to get the old finish off of the deck. The next step is called Revive. It neutralizes the remover, and cleans the deck. After this product, the deck will look brand new. Then you apply their Deckscapes stain. It comes in oil or latex based formulas, semi transparent or solid, and in a variety of stock colors. It's an excellent system, the only one I would ever use. Hope this helps.
