Moss removal is one of the many practical applications of a pressure washer. Pressure washing for removing moss and stains from a property’s surfaces might seem like an easy task at first glance. However, there are a lot of nuances that only a professional with pressure washing experience under their belt will be able to truly understand.

For starters, there is the matter of selecting the proper nozzle tip. A pressure washer uses nozzle tips that control the force and angle of the water being forced out. While removing moss, it is recommended to use a 15-degree or 25-degree nozzle tip so that it does not damage the surface that is being cleaned. The nozzle should also be a comfortable distance away from the surface or else there is a risk of the force of the water being too great and damaging the surface. The recommended distance is at least 2 to 3 feet.

Residents with pressure washers might attempt to remove moss themselves but it is not so simple. First of all, whenever one is using a pressure washer, they should be adequately protected because they always run the risk of injuring themselves from flying debris. Protective eye gear is a must and all professionals will make sure to wear it while doing the job. The pressure washer also has to be handled very carefully as the water can easily create dents and gashes on surfaces that are not tough enough to bear the force of the water. A professional with experience will know to always take care of where the nozzle of the pressure washer is pointing at.

Another big consideration is the surface on which the moss has collected. Not all surfaces are created equal. Wooden decks, siding, concrete walkways, sidewalks, and driveways are some locations where a pressure washer can be safely used. Pressure washing is to be avoided on roofs and painted surfaces such as cars. Pressure washing roof tiles can lead to the loosening of the shingles. Using a pressure washer on an inclined surface without securing oneself firmly can also lead to blowback which can lead to dangerous falls.

Moss removal and roof cleaning are specialized skills that require plenty of preparation, know-how, and experience. A novice can end up doing damage to the property or endangering their own health if they approach the problem with a lack of training. The best course of action is to hire a professional like those at Racine Property Services to do the job in a safe, timely, and thorough manner.
