Useful tips for high pressure cleaning
To avoid damage you can adjust the P.S.I., distance yourself from the surface or vary the type of jet being used.
- A fan jet is used for low power cleaning on sensitive areas such as wooden pergolas;
- A pencil jet is used for high power cleaning on areas such pattern-paved driveways;
- A rotary jet is used for high power/large area cleaning such as external of building.
