Title: Pressure washing soffits and gutters
Post by: Steven Shoreditch on August 16, 2010, 08:25:33 pm

You guys who do this work, do you just use the lance on the dirt, or do you pray some chemical or whatever on first, let it soak in and then blast it?

I use TFR through the pressure washer then leave it about 10 mins then blast away.

SSWC its 3000psi mate. I have 5 nozzles, red one (pencil) which is very powerful, yellow which is the next step down, white which is the next step and for light washing I have a green nozzle, then I have my black nozzle for applying deteregents and to flush the inside of the guttering.
