1. Effects of high-pressure water flow
Garden Pressure Washers use high-pressure water flow to clean surfaces, but different water flow strengths have different effects on plants. High-pressure water flow can easily remove stubborn dirt, but if it is not controlled, it may cause damage to plant leaves, roots and soil. Especially for tender leaves and new plants, when the pressure is high, it may cause leaf tearing or loose roots.

2. Use appropriate nozzles and pressure settings
To reduce damage to plants, users should choose the appropriate nozzles and pressure settings. Most Garden Pressure Washers offer a variety of nozzle options, which users can adjust as needed. For cleaning work close to plants, it is recommended to use a larger angle nozzle (such as 40 degrees) to reduce the impact of the water flow. At the same time, adjusting the pressure to a lower level can effectively reduce damage to plants.

3. Avoid spraying plants directly
When using a Garden Pressure Washer, it is best to avoid spraying water directly on plants. When cleaning, you can choose to spray from the side or back of the plant to prevent the strong water flow from directly impacting the plant. In addition, arrange the order and direction of cleaning reasonably to avoid the water flow from impacting the plant.

4. Regularly monitor the status of plants
Before using the Garden Pressure Washer, users should regularly check the status of the plants in the garden. Especially in the few days after high-pressure cleaning, pay attention to the reaction of the plants. If you find that the plant is wilting, the leaves are yellowing, etc., you should take timely measures, such as adjusting the water supply or taking appropriate care to help the plant recover.

5. Timely cleaning
Choosing the right time to clean is also an important factor in reducing damage to plants. Avoid high-pressure cleaning during the vigorous growth period of plants, and choose to do it during the dormant period of plants or slow growth seasons. This can reduce interference with plant growth and effectively remove impurities.

6. Use environmentally friendly detergents
When using the Garden Pressure Washer, using environmentally friendly detergents can further protect the plants. Many high-pressure washers support the function of adding detergents, which can not only improve the cleaning effect, but also avoid chemical damage to plants. When choosing a cleaning agent, make sure its ingredients are harmless to plants and avoid using strong acid or alkaline cleaning agents.

7. Avoid using in weather conditions
The use of a high-pressure cleaner should not be carried out in weather conditions, such as high temperatures, strong winds or heavy rain. These conditions may cause additional stress to the plants and increase their risk of injury. Therefore, it is recommended to clean on mild, dry days to ensure that the plants recover in conditions.
