Do pressure washers that attach to garden hoses have enough pressure to clean dirty decks?

What kind of psi can they hit? How much do they typically cost to rent?Do pressure washers that attach to garden hoses have enough pressure to clean dirty decks?
I don't know how much the cost to rent I think home Depot is like 20/hr and they work really well on decks, house siding, concrete.Do pressure washers that attach to garden hoses have enough pressure to clean dirty decks?
Take a garden sprayer and spray your deck with clorox first and hose off with garden hose, you will be supprised how clean it will get. I do this to my wood fences on a regular basis to keep clean. Be careful with the pressure washer as too much pressure can make them rough and hairy looking. Like the other person on here said rent one, because once you pressure wash everything you own it will sit for a long time. I may have used mine 2 -3 times in the five years I have owned it.
Yes, a garden hose works perfect. And the PSI depends on the machine you rent and the tip you use on the gun. And as far as price's I'm not too sure what it cost to rent one.





Note: You don't what to use too high of a PSI if your power washing your deck because it will cut lines in the wood and tear it up. So start with a low PSI and work your way up trying it out in one spot so you don't mess up your deck until you find the results you want.





Also here's a link to a good video tutorial on how to power wash properly.

Yes they do and do a great job of it if used properly.The psi you are looking for is 2400 and get one that has the changeable tips on it.the one that sprays a wide fan is the one to use.As for renting I don't know how muck it cost.I I went yo home depot and bought mine for four hundred and fifty dollars.I have three decks on my house so it was better to own.
Absolutely not. I have had one and asked around, everyone I know that has bought one says they suck. It will get the job done, but, it will take forever. Also, once you use it on the deck the driveway and house, it just sits in the garage. Do yourself a favor and rent a Professional one for a weekend and save a few bucks.
