“6 Tips for Safely Using a High-Pressure Cleaner Outdoors”

A high-pressure cleaner uses water – the name speaks for itself – high pressure, in order to efficiently remove stubborn dirt in a concentrated jet. Outdoors, this water can easily drain through your garden or drain, but indoors, where it can damage your furniture and floors, you don’t want it. Moreover, things there are rarely so dirty that a high-pressure cleaner is useful. A damp cleaning cloth and some cleaning agent are usually sufficient.

Your outdoor space, on the other hand, will have to endure a lot more under the influence of the weather elements, which means that coarser means are welcome. Encrusted dirt, moss and algae can then easily be removed from your patio tiles with a high-pressure cleaner. But this device is also excellent for other outdoor surfaces. Think of the garage door, drainage pipes or the sidewalk in front of your home.

Do you have a wooden terrace or concrete courtyard? You can also take care of that with a high-pressure cleaner. Concrete can withstand the powerful jet without any problem, and wood that is suitable for outdoor use is – normally – no problem either. To be on the safe side, don’t work too close to the surface and start in an inconspicuous area. There you can carefully test the effect of the beam on the material.

A clean terrace naturally requires a barbecue. And yes, you can clean them again in no time with the high-pressure cleaner after your feast. If the party left its mark, you can tackle the terrace floor, barbecue, but also the garden furniture in one movement. After which everything looks like new again, ready for the next party.

Would you like your car to shine after a treatment with the high-pressure cleaner? That is generally not such a good idea, because the powerful jet can damage the paint of your car, giving rust free rein.

But there is a solution: if you use a special brush attachment with soft bristles and do not set the pressure too high, your four-wheeler will not run any risk. In that case, the use of the high-pressure cleaner is even ideal to avoid scratches. This way you can clean your car and the rims with confidence. You can also wash other vehicles, such as your bicycle or moped, quickly and safely.

also look at: HLN Shop temporarily offers a high-pressure cleaner with a brush attachment with a discount of more than 100 euros.

In the same perspective, the high-pressure cleaner is also not suitable for painted surfaces; think of some exterior walls or window frames. Because of the high pressure, the paint simply peels off and you can start painting again. Unless this is precisely the intention, it is better to leave out the high-pressure cleaner for this cleaning task.

After all, it is not smart to climb on the roof with your handy tools. Dangerous heights or a ladder and a too powerful jet of water are not a safe combination, as the recoil can throw you off balance with all the consequences that entails.

In addition, roofing often cannot withstand too concentrated pressure: roof tiles or other material that protects the roof can come loose. If your high-pressure cleaner has sufficient range, you can use it to spray your gutter clean from the ground floor, for example.
