After putting so much effort into finding the perfect pressure washer, it’s easy to forget that repairs and maintenance are just as important. Even the most top-of-the-line model can experience wear and tear, and our pressure washer repair shop team knows this all too well. If you want to minimize the money you spend on repairs and keep your washer running well into the future, there are a few mistakes that you need to understand to avoid falling victim to them.

Using Only Water

Many homeowners make the mistake of not using any chemicals to help the pressure washing process. Although water might seem like an environmentally friendly choice, it comes with many downsides. For example, it will make some areas exponentially harder to clean, increase the amount of pressure needed to clean, and spread mold spores that continue to grow even after everything dries out.

Not Starting It Regularly

Although pressure washers aren’t used often, they’re invaluable when they’re needed. For this reason, it’s important to give yours some attention between jobs to keep it in use. Instead of letting it sit in your garage collecting dust, make it a habit of starting it up every few weeks, especially during the winter. Make sure you re-winterize the unit if starting using in the winter to prevent freeze damage.  This will minimize the number of times you need to bring it to a pressure washer repair shop.

Ignoring Regular Maintenance

In addition to starting it up, general maintenance is crucial for keeping your pressure washer in peak shape during long periods when it’s not needed. Remember: this is an internal combustion engine, which requires regular maintenance to perform optimally.

Using Old Gas

Never run your pressure washer when it’s filled with old gas that has been sitting in the tank for years. Although you might think you’ll save money by using every last drop, this is a great way to destroy your engine via old, separated gasoline.

As the years roll on, it can become difficult – and costly – to maintain the exterior of your building.  Numerous environmental factors, from weather erosion, oxidation, to bird droppings, all work to wear away at the exterior, and it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a professional and welcoming appearance.   

Fortunately, pressure washing your exterior with Landa pressure washers can quickly undo months or even years of built-up grime on your building.  Better yet, regular pressure washing is an excellent way to prevent decay and save yourself on maintenance down the line.  There are a lot of benefits to using Landa pressure washers to maintain your building!

Four Big Benefits of Pressure Washing Your Building

1 – Prevent repairs

Many of the materials which will build up on your building’s exterior aren’t merely ugly – they’re also harmful.  Mold, algae, acidic bird droppings, and more will all slowly eat away at your facade, sidewalks, statues, and other features.  High-pressure Landa cleaners can quickly and easily clear out all these harmful types of buildup, preventing more damage from occurring.

2 – Clean deep into nooks and crannies

Any building exterior is going to be covered with tiny cracks, holes, and other hard-to-reach spaces that can be quickly filled with harmful buildup.   Industrial pressure washers are some of the only cleaning options that can reliably clean out all these nooks and crannies!  The high-powered water sprays can reach into even the tiniest gaps.

3 – Quickly remove graffiti 

Some call it “street art,” but your customers and VIPs probably aren’t so open-minded if they see a gigantic “tag” on the side of your building.  Graffiti can be costly and difficult to remove – but a Landa pressure washer paired with the right graffiti remover can blast it away within minutes.  All but the toughest forms of spray paint can be removed via pressure-washing.

4 – Keep nearby spaces clean as well

If your building is pristine, but all the sidewalks look filthy, it’s still going to reflect poorly on your building – even if the sidewalk is technically the city’s problem.  But why fret?  Pressure washing can clean off nearby roads and sidewalks so quickly that there’s no reason not to clean them at the same time the rest of your building is being cleaned.
