There are more than a few caveats to doing this, as the interior of your house is going to be more delicate and sensitive to the pressure washer than the hardened exterior. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, as long as you are careful and know which surfaces you can wash, you can easily use the pressure washer inside your own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Pressure_Wash_Your_Own_Home\"><\/span>How Do You Pressure Wash Your Own Home?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making sure that your home is ready and compatible with a pressure washer is not going to be nearly as easy or straightforward as it is to get the job done outdoors. For one, you are going to want to make sure that the pressure washer can fit into the area you are cleaning. If you have an electric pressure washer, you will want to make sure that you have an adequate power source for it within your home as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will want to think about the areas where you can use a pressure washer inside. Using it on flooring is not going to be the best idea, especially if you have carpeted floors. On the other hand, on its lowest setting, you can probably end up getting away with pressure washing your walls, ceiling, and most of your bathroom. The bathroom is going to be the most important part for most people to clean, as this is the part of the house that is most prone to developing problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_Pressure_Wash_Inside_My_Bathroom\"><\/span>Can I Pressure Wash Inside My Bathroom<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning the bathroom of your home with a pressure washer is no small feat. You will first have to find a way to get the pressure washer into the area that you are cleaning, which can be a challenge if you have a bulkier pressure washer. At the same time, you will want to do some research into what interior surfaces can and cannot handle the pressure of a pressure washer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should never pressure wash any material that is water-sensitive. While inside a bathroom, these materials may not be as common, it is still important to note when you are cleaning, such as if you have laminate flooring. Water-sensitive floors will absorb and use the water that you are using in the pressure washer, which may distort the floor itself, causing more problems than you will want to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, you should never pressure wash ceramic tiles that have been refinished, coated with paint, or have been glazed over. The problem with using a pressure washer on these is that it is highly likely that the pressure washer will chip away at that coating, damaging the tiles and making for more expensive repairs to keep your home looking nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pressure washing the inside your home is not an ideal situation. It is a lot of work to set up the pressure washer in a manner that lets you clean inside, and there is a lot of risk with the potential damage that you can do with the pressure washer, even on the lowest settings. You should try and use all other options of cleaning the interior of your home before resorting to the pressure washer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/can-you-put-bleach-in-a-pressure-washer\/\">Is it a good idea with bleach in your pressure washer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/do-pressure-washers-need-special-soap\/\">Do you need a special soap for your pressure washer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/can-you-wash-windows-with-a-pressure-washer\/\">Dan you wash windows with your pressure washer<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_questions_about_pressure_washing_inside\"><\/span>More questions about pressure washing inside<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Does_the_Pressure_Washer_Go\"><\/span>Where Does the Pressure Washer Go?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your home situation, it can be hard to determine where you are going to put the pressure washer. It is highly recommended that you set up the electric pressure washer outside (as you shouldn\u2019t use the gas-powered pressure washer for these jobs in the first place), and then attach a longer hose to the washer so that you can clean inside. This requires the windows to be open though, and this can be problematic if you are working in many rooms at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_There_Easier_Ways\"><\/span>Are There Easier Ways?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As wonderful as pressure washing can be, it should be considered a last resort when you are cleaning the inside of your home. There are so many easier ways that you can clean your home than with a pressure washer. There are also more efficient ways as well, since setting up the pressure washer can take a lot of time and resources to do before you get into the hard part of cleaning the house itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Protect_Your_House\"><\/span>How Do You Protect Your House? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In these cases, you will want to do what you can to protect your home. You will want to move anything fragile far out of the way of the pressure washer. You should prepare for an excess of water as well, and you should have all of the materials ready to clean that up so you do not cause any water damage to your home in the process of trying to clean it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Can-I-pressure-wash-the-inside-of-my-house-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Can I pressure wash the inside of my house?\" class=\"wp-image-2096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Can-I-pressure-wash-the-inside-of-my-house-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Can-I-pressure-wash-the-inside-of-my-house-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Can-I-pressure-wash-the-inside-of-my-house-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/how2removestains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Can-I-pressure-wash-the-inside-of-my-house-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many, many surfaces that you can wash with a pressure washer.
