We're mosting likely to chat a little bit concerning stress washing. The reason we're discussing pressure cleaning is it's important to press clean the exterior of your house prior to you do any paint. It's not that you can't repaint without pressure washing. It's simply that the paint's not mosting likely to stick in addition to it will follow a cleaner surface area. Now, with pressure washing machines there's a number of kinds you can get. You can obtain the gas powered ones which are the most effective as well as the toughest. Or you can obtain something like I'm using today, an electrical stress washing machine.

Now on this task, it's not actually peeling off poor. It does not obtain a lot of sunlight, so it's not too bad. If you've got a lot of heavy liquid chalking or a lot of peeling, after that you desire an actually, truly strong, gas powered stress washing machine. But on something lite similar to this, I just used my typical electric stress washer. This is just around twelve hundred psi. There's not a whole lot to it. So it does not have as much toughness as a large one. However it's not mosting likely to need as a lot since mostly we're just going to get the dust off. We're going to obtain these old webs that are up in the eaves, that kind of thing. This is why today we're going to go ahead and utilize this basic old electrical pressure washer. Currently, these are really simple to switch on. It's simply a switch in the back, back here.

Press the switch as well as you're going to hear it whir up. That implies the pressure is good. After that, you simply sort of wish to evaluate it and pull the trigger. Now you can see that's already readied to about fifteen degrees. That's going to be about what I usually deal with. That's why it's type of sucky. Now, that suffices to clean up the I.N. It still has respectable stress. This stress washer's only concerning twelve hundred psi. That's extra pounds per square inch. Now, when we're functioning, we're wishing we're not mosting likely to discover numerous rough areas. That's why we're using an electrical. Because primarily we're just cleaning. However if we have actually located a harsh area we intend to go on and also most likely to this pointer, turn it all the method to the left side and also you're going to obtain that needle nose. That has the maximum pressure on the stress washing machine. That'll remove any kind of location that you have even if you have a persistent web that's up behind-the-scenes. But normally, you're mosting likely to maintain that at regarding fifteen.

Since's simply an issue of turning the wand idea. That has to do with right. Now, you're mosting likely to go ahead as well as obtain that up right into the eaves as well as we wish to obtain the back side also. Then, you wish to go on and get the reverse side also. You see, this is a respectable paint job. It's holding on respectable. Now, I'm mosting likely to bring my facing on down. I'll function my means down the eaves this way. Now, once I have actually reached a point that I like, I want to go ahead and also obtain the rest of this area right here while I'm here rather than making a lot of actions.

So, I'm mosting likely to require to get a little higher to obtain these eaves. So I sort of keep a ladder handy. I'm going to draw that in now. Pull that right into location as well as lift a couple of rungs. Now as soon as I'm up below, I can shoot down on it. By doing this it'll work like rainwater. This is where you truly wash down all that gunk. It's a wonderful possibility to get these sills as well. Currently, all that's left is this lower part on the wall. We'll bring that on up as well as keep continuing on down. This is how you push wash the exterior surface of a house to prepare it for paint.
