• Pressure washing can be an effective way to clean
  various surfaces, but it's important to
  prioritize safety when using this powerful
  equipment.
• Here are five tips for pressure washing safety.

3
Wear Appropriate Safety Gear

• Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE)
  including safety goggles or a face shield to
  protect your eyes from flying debris and
  chemicals, ear protection to guard against the
  loud noise of the pressure washer, and gloves to
  protect your hands from chemicals and
  high-pressure water. Additionally, wear non-slip
  footwear to prevent accidents on wet surfaces.

4
Read the User Manual

• Familiarize yourself with the user manual and
  manufacturer's guidelines for your specific
  pressure washer. Understand the machine's
  settings and features, and follow their
  recommendations for setup, operation, and
  maintenance.

5
Maintain a Safe Distance

• Keep a safe distance between the pressure washer
  nozzle and the surface you're cleaning, as well
  as any nearby people or animals. High-pressure
  water can cause injuries, and it's essential to
  use the appropriate nozzle tip for the task.
  Start with a wider spray pattern and gradually
  reduce it to avoid damage or injury.

6
Ventilation and Chemical Safety

• If you're using chemicals or detergents with your
  pressure washer, ensure proper ventilation in the
  area. Do not mix chemicals unless the manual
  explicitly allows it. Always follow the
  recommended dilution ratios and safety
  precautions when working with cleaning agents.
  Wear a respirator if required by the chemicals'
  safety data sheets.

7
Avoid Electrocution Hazards

• Keep electrical cords, outlets, and extension
  cords well away from water sources and wet areas.
  Use ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) to
  protect against electrical shocks. Be cautious
  when working on or near electrical fixtures or
  outlets.

8

• In addition to these tips, always perform a
  thorough inspection of your pressure washer
  before each use, checking for damaged hoses,
  connections, or any other potential issues.
  Regular maintenance and cleaning of the equipment
  will help ensure its safe and efficient
  operation. Finally, never aim the pressure washer
  at people, pets, or fragile objects, and be
  cautious when using it on painted or delicate
  surfaces to avoid causing damage.
