STEPS TO DOING A GREAT SPRING CLEANING


Spring cleaning of a home is a great way to get you house into order when the cold winter months have gone and the sun is starting to come back out and the flowers are beginning to bloom. Spring cleaning the outside of a house is a great way to spruce up your home but if you want to do it yourself buying or hiring a good quality pressure washer is a vital thing to have.


When selecting a pressure washer to help you with your external spring cleaning, you should ensure it meets the following requirements and you should also make sure you have the required additional items to make your life easier:


• A garden water hose: it should be at least a 2cm inside diameter without any leaks, cuts or and holes. Using a pressure washer will save the water but having a leaking garden hose will negate everything about the water saving of a pressure washer, and will creates more mess


• A pressure washer should be chosen depending on your needs. If you want the power washer to work well, there are two things to learn about. The first is the PSI or pounds per square inch. This is the pressure force which will loosen and break up the dirt and grime from the surface. The second is the LPM (or liters per minute). An example is a pressure washer that offers 1500PSI with 2 LPM will push double amount of water out in one minute than a washer with only 1 LPM. Some washers may have an interchangeable nozzle which offers better cleaning flexibility.


• Protective clothing: you should not be tempted to wear the short pants or swimsuit when you clean using a pressure washer. You should have a shirt and long pants to ensure safety since the debris may bounce back to your from any surface. If it then hits your exposed skin, it can hurt and even leave a mark. So make sure you stay safe.


• Safety glasses: you should put on good fitting safety glasses or goggles which can wrap around your face in order to protect your eyes against the flying debris..


• Hearing protection – Hearing protection should be used to reduce the noise of the pressure washer. Regardless of the type of washer you use, it will always make a loud noise, and you can protect yourself by putting on ear muffs or earplugs.


• Sturdy shoes: you should protect your feet by wearing a good pair of shoes. Even if sandals or flip-flops may be comfortable and cooler to wear, they cannot offer the protection against flying debris or dirt



• Before you start spring cleaning of your outside area or wooden deck, you should remove anything around the area where you want to clean, any decorative items, plants and patio furniture. The plants that cannot be moved should be covered. Use plastic tarps or drop some old clothes over them to protect them against high-pressure water spray and cleaning chemicals.


• If there are any heavily soiled areas, you can pre-treat the area using a soap attachment and cleaning solution to remove grime and grease. The areas you might need to remove stains may be around the barbeque or grill. Soap should not be allowed to dry before being washed off using the high pressure washer.


• If you live in Melbourne, then you don’t need to do the spring cleaning on your own, but you can get help from some great cleaning companies. Even if it is possible to do these cleaning tasks alone, there is a good chance you may not have the right skills that professional cleaners would. Beside the possibility of making you exhausted when you finish, there is also a chance that you may do more damage than good. When you hire a cleaning service, you will get a service that you can rely on. It will save you time and energy, and also will allow you to enjoy a healthy and clean environment.
