Each season we are left with leaves, moss, algae and mud on our pavements, patios and driveways. Our cars are often covered with mud, road dirt and oil. By using a pressure washer, it’s possible to blast all that away and enjoy clean and safe walkways and shiny automobiles.

The difference between a garden hose and a pressure washer is that you can expect up to 20 times more water pressure on a surface than the regular garden hose can deliver.
If you are considering buying a pressure washer but you don’t know where to start, here’s what you need to consider:
Each machine comes with a different level of water pressure. For example, your garden hose may deliver 40lbs per square inch (psi) of water pressure. Those pressure washers that are categorised as ‘light’ will put out between 1300 and 2000 lbs psi and are suited to cleaning patio furniture, cars and awnings. For example this Bosch AQT35-12 1500 electric pressure washer.
There are pressure washers that throw out water at 2000 to 2600 psi. These are ideal for cleaning concrete, patios, walkways and removing stains, grease and oil from larger surfaces.
Professional pressure washers are the most powerful and can produce water at a pressure of 2700 to 2600 psi. They are capable of removing grease and stains from concrete or dirt from surfaces in preparation for adding sealants or paint. Check out this Bosch GHP5-13C 2300W pressure washer.
Pressure washers are available powered either by petrol or electricity. Which one you choose may depend on how large the area is that you want to clean and whether you have a long enough cable to operate your electrical pressure washer. With a gas powered machine you gain more freedom as you won’t be dependent on being able to reach the socket.
