Why not just clean the windows with a hose or pressure washer?

JEM Window Cleaning | 2006
I would highly recommend against doing this. Let's face it, if this method worked with no scrubbing required, every professional window cleaning company on the planet would use it... but, real professionals don't. Any kind of pressure with water on your windows will force water into the window seals causing them to break and the woodwork to rot. This method promises clean windows with no scrubbing. Not true. It would shatter the glass before it cleans it.

Why is my pressure washer leaking from the hose?

It sounds like the seals have deteriorated or split, so you will need to change the O’Ring's which are small rubber rings at each end of the High pressure hose this seals the hose to the Gun and the Pressure washer. See similar questions...

Can I use a pressure washer to clean my doors?

Chalky, Dull Self Storage Doors can look new again without p...
We don't generally recommend pressure-washing doors because pressure washers alone do not adequately remove oxidation and there is the risk of forced water entry into the storage unit and the potential for damage to stored goods. Customers normally have their stuff in cardboard boxes stacked within inches of the door, and care must be taken not to get water into the units. Most seals on storage doors will not keep water out if a stream is sprayed into the "C" channel. See similar questions...

Should I use a pressure washer to clean my deck?

Frequently Asked Questions
Sure, it makes cleaning a lot easier and faster. Just limit your pressure to no more than 1,000 or 1,200 p.s.i. and use caution to work with the grain and never against it as it will damage the wood if you do. That’s easy…just clean the deck off with some DEFY Wood Brightener and apply a light maintenance coat of the original stain that was used. See similar questions...

CAN I USE THE CLEANER IN A PRESSURE WASHER?

Fenwick's Superior Products - FAQ
Yes. The dilution needs to be about 200:1 at the lance end, give the cleaner a bit of time to work before washing off. If you have a soap dispenser, add about 2-4 capsfull to the dispenser and fill with water, this should be about right. You can add more cleaner if required. The Motorhome Cleaner is better suited to pressure washers as it is faster acting, but good results should be obtained using the Caravan Cleaner as long as sufficient contact time is allowed (30sec to 1 min).

What size pressure washer do I need?

The Pressure Washer Store - Machines, Parts, Accessories, Su...
For residential use, an electric or small gas powered pressure washer should be sufficient. For general cleaning around the house, 1500 to 2500 PSI is usually good. For a commercial cleaner, a minimum of 3000 PSI is usually needed to be fully productive. A machine that pushes at least 4 GPM will handle a wide variety of cleaning problems. A machine with these minimum requirements should produce enough pressure to clean, and enough flow to rinse. See similar questions...
