How to choose (and common mistakes)

When choosing a pressure washer for house washing, consider the PSI (pounds per square inch) and GPM (gallons per minute). A pressure washer with 1500-3000 PSI and 1.4-2.5 GPM is ideal for most home surfaces. Avoid using too high of a pressure, as it can damage paint or wood. Common mistakes include not using the right nozzle and getting too close to the surface. Always start with a lower pressure and test a small area first to ensure safety and effectiveness.
