Have you ever carried a 10 litre bucket of water and a 2 piece ladder on your back for 8 hours a day non stop.

You should find some windows to do in-between then mate, it'll save your back.

Take my comment the way it was meant  ::)roll, I am an old fella  ;D We do carpets, window cleaning, pressure washing plus more, I would not opt for pressure washing as a less strenuous option. Certain aspects can cause injury, using turb all day and simply the stance can effect back / neck, I have had several youngsters who could not take it similar to using wfp.. looking up all the time.
As for the bucket / ladder, most of the time I am working so I haven't got time for leisure activities  ;D
Good luck with it, Mike

I don't find it hurts my back that much, sometimes when carrying coiled pressure hose a bit of a distance I feel it the next day and yes it can nag if using lance for a prolonged period.

Neck and shoulders on the other hand, they do ache a lot from looking down all the time.

But still, there's more physical jobs out there!!
