Cleaning in and around your home is a never-ending job, but it can be oh-so-satisfying. If you are fortunate enough to have a pressure washer, you know firsthand the delight of watching a dingy deck or filthy fence look almost brand new in minutes.
This powerful tool can be a versatile addition to your collection. Here are 15 jobs you might not have realized you could tackle with a pressure washer.
Strip Paint
Removing paint can be exhausting. A pressure washer can really cut the time it takes to strip paint from concrete, metal, wood and other exterior surfaces. Start with the broadest tip angle and work your way down until you find the one that works best. Then, working in sections, move in a downward sweeping motion as the color gets chipped away.

Clean Gutters
Cleaning gutters is an essential part of preparing your home for winter. With the gauge on medium-high, hold the pressure washer nozzle about 6 inches from the gutter and move back and forth to remove dirt and debris. You can also spray with a gutter-cleaning solution before you begin.

Wash Windows
When done correctly, power washing windows can be an effective way to clean them. Remove any screens and use the 40-degree nozzle to spray from the ground. Start at the top and work downward, keeping the nozzle at least 3 feet from the glass. Spray the wet glass with soap, then rinse again to wash it away.

Rescue Stranded Toys
If you have kids — or have ever been one — you know balls, Frisbees and other toys can get tangled in tree branches during play. Rather than breaking out the ladder or risking your little ones climbing up themselves, pull out the pressure washer and let it rip to loosen the tree’s grip.

Freshen Car Mats
Cloth and rubber car mats collect dirt, mud and other debris from shoes and pets’ paws. First, remove the rugs from the floorboard and sweep any loose dirt away. Then, place them on a flat surface and clean them with a pressure washer. Be sure to allow them to dry completely before replacing them in your vehicle.
