DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

Pressure washing—also known as power washing—is a fast, effective way to restore siding, decking, stone and cement surfaces to their natural color and beauty.
Step 6: Preparing the pressure washer—choose a tip and attach the water supply.
There are generally four tips that come with the pressure washer that can be inserted on the end of the pressure cleaner wand. Each tip has a different application. The soap tip, which is black in this case, is the tip you use to apply the cleaning agent to the surface. Attach the soap tip to end of the wand. Next, attach your garden hose to the water inlet fitting on the pressure cleaner. Turn on the faucet to feed water to the pressure cleaner.
Choose one of the four tips.
