As for boats, did you know that the greatest challenge for power pressure washers is to remove the algae and barnacles on their sides? Well, fret not, as all you need to do is to simply attach the high pressure dirt blaster and power up you water jet cleaning machine. For even more added power, use the wash brush as well. The barnacles will come off within seconds. But for contaminated areas, remember to use the double efficiency of both the wash brush as well as the manufacturer recommended detergent for full cleaning force.

Cars are another different category altogether. To a lot of car owners, keeping the paint job in gleaming condition is their priority and the greatest challenge for power pressure washers. The greater the pressure and the nearer you are with the water jet cleaning device from the car, the higher the probability of it stripping out your car paint. So always remember to keep your distance from the car when you are using the spray nozzle, switch it over to low pressure and use “fan” cleaning. In winter, water jet cleaning your car would also include removal of soot, sand, salt and grime at the bottom of the car. Use the brush accessory packaged in your machine and also the recommended detergent for even better results.

To some homes, after every rain storm, the drains, roof eaves, and gutters get blocked easily. There are specific pip cleaning kit available in the market which help you in household cleaning. Simply insert the cleaning head at the end of the hose into the blocked drain, press the trigger and the high pressure jets will propel the hose into the drain.
