Whether it's a motorcycle or a patio, leave it sparkling clean with a powerful machine. 

​

There’s no point scrubbing away at your bike, car, driveway or garden tools in an attempt to obliterate dirt and grime when you can use a pressure washer to get the job done in a fraction of the time. Indeed, a good pressure washer blasts out water at high speed so you can clean pretty much anything outside. They use much less water than a garden hose and many come with a range of accessories for different jobs: patio brush, car wash brush, lance, turbo nozzle, jet nozzle, to name a few.

 

Think about what you need your machine for before you rush off to buy one. If you only want it for basics such as cleaning bicycles and outdoor furniture, there’s no point in getting a top-of-the-range model. A compact, entry-level machine with a light pressure of around 100 bar will be absolutely fine. 

 

Mid-range machines, which usually have a pressure of around 110 bar, are better for patios, fencing, cars, guttering and exterior paintwork. And finally, premium models – which have high pressure rates of 120 bar and above and often come with lots of accessories – can tackle the most engrained dirt, as well as large areas of paving, driveways, wooden decking, stonework and 4x4s or caravans.
