There’s something about using a pressure washer to remove dirt and grime from driveways, decks, garage floors, driveways and other surfaces that is simply irresistible to most men. What is it about using an internal combustion engine to blast high-pressure water that is so appealing?
The answer may lie in the primal appeal in the act of pressure washing. In the same way that a lot of guys love to fire rifles, shotguns and handguns, using a pressure washer offers a type of empowerment, if only over built-up grime, dirt and debris. Pointing and shooting that pressurized stream of water as the engine roars away in the background provides a type of rush that can’t be achieved through simple scrubbing or mopping.
Controlling the Chaos
Then there’s the feeling of control that using a pressure washer can provide. Even though you can’t control the amount of grime that can build up on a particular surface — that is determined by nature, traffic, the elements and other things that are not manageable by mere mortals — it is possible to restore order to your work area by using the power washer to return it to its original condition, or at least as closely as possible. Rather than man versus machine, it’s the combination of a man plus a machine to bring neatness, orderliness and control whatever you are power washing.
There’s no doubt that just about every guy will get excited about using a pressure washer. It’s sort of like a kid on Christmas Eve.
Fast, Effective and Fun!
Not only does this miraculous tool make cleaning practically any hard surface faster and easier, but it also allows you to skip over the mundane tasks of scrubbing and loosing debris using elbow grease. With the pressure washer, you just point, shoot and watch as months or even years of dirt disappear practically like magic.
Environmentally Sound
Although it’s not the primary appeal for most guys, there are even environmental benefits to using a pressure washer over scrubbing with solvents or other chemicals. The force of the water blasting out of the power washer provides enough power to clean whatever surface you are working on without having to worry about toxic chemicals from dangerous cleaning solutions leaching into the ground, potentially damaging the water supply or leaving a streaks or residue that can last forever.
A power washer is clean, it’s fun and it’s effective. What more could I guy want out of a Saturday afternoon?
