What is a pressure washer

A pressure washer is a versatile cleaning tool that uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, mould, mildew, and other contaminants from various surfaces. It typically consists of a motor or engine that powers a pump, which pressurises water from a garden hose. The pressurised water is then expelled through a wand or nozzle at a much higher velocity, allowing for efficient cleaning of surfaces such as driveways, decks, siding, vehicles, and outdoor furniture.

Types of pressure washers

  • Electric pressure washers: Powered by electricity, suitable for light to medium-duty tasks, quieter operation, and more compact size.
  • Gas pressure washers: Run on gasoline, ideal for heavy-duty cleaning, greater mobility, and higher pressure output.
  • Hot water pressure washers: Heat water for enhanced cleaning power, effective for removing tough grease and oil stains.
  • Cold water pressure washers: Use ambient temperature water, suitable for general cleaning tasks, more affordable and easier to maintain.
  • Stationary pressure washers: Mounted in a fixed location, often used for industrial or commercial applications where a constant water supply and high pressure are required.

Factors to consider when choosing a pressure washer

  • Here are factors to consider when choosing a pressure washer: 
  • Cleaning power: Determine the PSI (pounds per square inch) and GPM (gallons per minute) to match your cleaning needs.
  • Type of surfaces: Consider the surfaces you will clean to select the appropriate pressure level and nozzle attachments.
  • Portability: Decide if you need a portable or stationary unit based on your cleaning requirements and available storage space.
  • Power source: Choose between electric, gas, or battery-powered models depending on accessibility to power sources and mobility needs.
  • Water temperature: Decide between hot water and cold water models based on the types of stains you'll be tackling.
  • Durability and build quality: Look for sturdy construction and quality materials for longevity and reliability.

Benefits of using a pressure washer for cleaning

Frequently asked questions

What PSI do I need for my pressure washer?
For light-duty tasks like washing cars or windows, 1,300 to 1,700 PSI is sufficient. Medium-duty cleaning, such as driveways or decks, requires 1,800 to 2,800 PSI. Heavy-duty jobs like stripping paint or cleaning concrete need over 2,800 PSI.
How often should I use a pressure washer?
It depends on your cleaning needs. For regular maintenance, using a pressure washer once a month is suitable for keeping outdoor surfaces clean. However, adjust the frequency based on seasonal changes, weather conditions, and specific cleaning requirements.
How do I maintain my pressure washer for longevity?
Regular maintenance is key. Clean the machine after each use, check for leaks, inspect hoses and nozzles for wear, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for oil changes and filter replacements. Store the pressure washer in a dry, protected area to prevent corrosion and damage.

Are electric pressure washers better than gas-powered ones?

Electric pressure washers are ideal for light to medium-duty tasks around the home—they are quieter, easier to maintain, and more eco-friendly since they do not emit fumes. Gas-powered models, on the other hand, offer higher PSI and GPM ratings, making them better suited for heavy-duty or commercial cleaning jobs. The best choice depends on your cleaning needs, available space, and preference for portability versus power.

How much water does a pressure washer use?

Most residential pressure washers use between 2 to 4 gallons of water per minute (GPM), which equals 120 to 240 gallons per hour. This is significantly less than a standard garden hose, which can use up to 24 GPM. High-efficiency models and smart usage techniques—like using the right nozzle and pre-cleaning surfaces—can help minimise water waste.

What PSI rating is good for residential pressure washers?

For general home use, a PSI range of 1,300 to 2,800 is typically sufficient. Lower PSI (1,300–1,800) works well for cars, outdoor furniture, and windows, while medium PSI (1,900–2,300) suits patios, decks, and fences. For tougher jobs like driveways or mildew removal, a PSI of 2,400–2,800 is recommended. Always match the PSI to the surface to avoid damage.
