Now that summer has officially arrived: many of us will be venturing into our gardens; enjoying quality time with friends and family and just generally trying to enjoy the upturn in weather. 

With so many fun times being had, many of you might not be thinking about using your faithful high pressure washer. It must be said however, that summer is the perfect time to dust off your high power jet washer. 

We are a high quality purveyor of karcher pressure washers from Stoke-on-Trent; we know a thing or two about using your high power washer in the summertime. Although the humble jet washer is easy to use and very accessible year round, using it in the summer has some clear advantages. 

So after a potentially harsh and cold winter; let’s take a look at reasons summer is the best time to use your pressure washer. 

Better Weather and Better Drying 

During the summer months, it is largely expected temperatures will increase and there will subsequently be more sunny hours in the day. While in Staffordshire this is not always be guaranteed, there is little doubt the weather in the summer months is a lot significantly better than in the winter. 

It is hard to argue that cleaning something down in warmer weather just feels nicer. There is little need to acquire extra clothing due to being cold and therefore you are less likely to get damp. 

In addition to the nicer feeling of power washing in the pleasant weather, because the humidity is increased and because there is more sun; it also provides better drying opportunities. One of the downsides of washing in the winter is that sometimes it takes a significantly longer amount of time to dry after washing. Luckily, in the summer, this is less likely to happen as the sun and humidity dries the wetness out for you.  

This makes the experience more practical allowing you more time to clean effectively and efficiently. 

Results Will Last Longer

Following on nicely from the experience of pressure washing being more practical in the summer; is the fact that your results will last significantly longer. 

When you have washed something in the winter, within 5 minutes the area might be covered in leaves, mud or something worse. In the summer, this is far less likely to happen. The same can be said for if it were to snow and/or rain. When the temperature takes a sudden drastic change, it opens the door to smoothing your beautifully cleaned surface with splashes and marks.

In the summer, many of the problems and circumstances are virtually redundant. 

You Can Physically See The Results Better

There might be few more pleasing experiences than finishing cleaning with your jet washer, sitting back with a nice cold drink and looking at your work. When the sun is shining on a freshly cleaned surface, it usually glimmers effortlessly in the sun. 

This extremely rewarding experience is pretty much exclusive to the experience of cleaning in the summer. 

Mould Removal 

The sudden change from the cold and rainy climate of winter and spring to the warmth of summer is the perfect breeding ground for the formation of different moulds. Luckily, summertime is the perfect time to pressure wash any potential mildew away. Be it on the decking, your house or any other product you own. 

Garden Maintenance

The high power washer can also be used to help you with much of your general maintenance. We have recently covered how the pressure washer can be used to help you preserve and maintain your garden. But a few proven techniques include cleaning your decking, removing other stubborn dirt and branch removal. 

At Britclean, we offer a wide range of pressure washers and other related cleaning services. From industrial vacuum repair in Stoke to general pressure washer repairs, we will be able to help you. So why not get in touch today? 

Back in early February, we looked at 4 unconventional ways to use a pressure washer. The blog got us thinking about even more unconventional uses for our beloved washers. So we thought; why stop at just 4? There are so many weird and wonderful uses for high power washers; let’s look at least another 4. 

At Britclean, we offer many great and all encompassing services in a variety of locations. These include industrial pressure washer hire in Staffordshire and Cheshire. However, we have to admit, some of these unconventional uses even surprise us. 

When considering all of these weird and wonderful uses of washers; we must always highlight the issue of safety first. Before undertaking any pressure washer activity, you must ensure you understand any potential danger or hazards and have put place prior plans to combat the issues should they occur. 

All of that being said, let’s look at 4 more unusual uses for pressure washers. 

Stress Testing

When a roofing project has been completed, roofers must put their work through the metaphorical ringer to ensure their work can withstand harsh weather conditions. This is where stress testing comes in. 

Obviously recreating the various weather conditions is potentially difficult and sometimes borderline impossible, especially if conditions are to remain moderate. This is where pressure washers can help. You can use a pressure washer to recreate wet and windy conditions on your roof. By enacting this technique, the roofer ensures the roof remains strong and stable during some more potentially treacherous conditions. 

Killing Weeds 

Using steam and heat is an incredibly eco-friendly and effective way to kill unwanted weeds. As such, you can use the faithful pressure washer to enact this technique. Whether you have weeds growing in cracks on your driveway or around your home, all that is required is to simply point the washer at them and use a tailored setting to effectively remove them. 

Paint Stripper

In previous blogs, we have covered how you might accidentally remove paint if you are washing on a higher setting. However, we never contemplated whether you might actually want to remove the paint in the first place. 

Washing on a higher setting is a fantastically easy way to quickly and effectively remove paint you no longer want. 

To Drill

We have saved potentially the strangest use until last. When you think of tools for drilling, the chances are; a pressure washer does not come to mind. Contrary to popular beliefs, you can actually use a pressure washer to drill. 

Pressure washers are particularly useful at digging small holes in the ground. In fact, they are usually preferred for this purpose compared to more traditionally sized drills. 

We offer a wide range of repairs and services to a plethora of locations at Britclean. This includes karcher pressure washer repairs in Cheshire and Staffordshire amongst many others. So, if you have any questions regarding our brilliant pressure washers or our industrial vacuums, please contact us.
