Cleaning Tips and Techniques
Mastering the art of pressure washing with your Greenworks Pressure Washer 2000 involves understanding the nuances of different cleaning tasks. For delicate surfaces like wood decks and siding, use the fan nozzle for a wider spray pattern and lower pressure. This prevents damage and provides a gentle yet effective clean. For tougher tasks like cleaning concrete driveways and patios, the turbo nozzle is your best friend. Its concentrated jet of water effectively blasts away stubborn grime and stains. When using soap, select the soap nozzle for optimal application. Apply a cleaning solution to the surface before using the high-pressure water for a deeper clean. Remember to always work from the bottom up to prevent streaks and ensure thorough coverage.
