5 Things You Should NOT Power Wash (Will Be Surprised)

Power washing can make your property sparkle, but not every surface can handle the force of high-pressure water. Understanding what not to power wash can help prevent costly repairs and damage to your home.

At Hydros Power Washing, we use professional techniques and equipment to know when pressure washing is safe — and when a softer approach is the smarter choice. If you’d rather leave it to the pros, visit www.hydrospowerwashing.com for a free quote today.

1. Windows

Windows may look tough, but high pressure can crack glass, damage seals, or force water inside. Instead, use gentle soap and a soft cloth — or let our experts safely clean your windows with our soft-wash method, leaving them streak-free and protected.

2. Roof Shingles

Your roof protects your home — but it can’t handle intense pressure. Power washing can loosen shingles, remove protective granules, and shorten your roof’s lifespan. Our low-pressure soft washing safely removes moss, algae, and streaks while preserving your roof’s integrity.

3. Electrical Fixtures and Panels

Never spray electrical meters, panels, or outdoor lighting with a pressure washer. Water can seep into components, causing corrosion or electrical shorts. Our trained technicians clean carefully around these areas to ensure your home stays safe and functional.

4. Painted Surfaces

Unless you’re trying to strip paint, avoid pressure washing painted walls, fences, or decks. High water pressure can peel, chip, or fade paint unevenly. Hydros Power Washing uses the correct settings to clean painted surfaces safely without causing damage.

5. Air Conditioners

Your air conditioner’s fins are delicate and can easily bend or break under high pressure, restricting airflow and reducing efficiency. Skip the pressure washer — a gentle hose rinse or professional exterior cleaning from Hydros Power Washingis the safer choice.
