Pressure Washer Attachments

Also called Surface cleaner · Rotary surface cleaner · Extension wand · Nozzle tips

Rotary surface cleaners for fast, streak-free flatwork and extension wands for reaching tall buildings.

Manual / non-powered

Overview

These are the attachments that change what a pressure washer can do. They are hired alongside one, not instead of it.

The rotary surface cleaner is a shrouded housing with a spray bar spinning underneath. Because it holds the nozzles at a fixed height and sweeps them in a circle, it cleans flatwork evenly instead of leaving the stripes a hand-held wand always does — sidewalks, driveways, garage floors, parking lots, warehouses, pool decks and outdoor courts.

The extension wand puts the nozzle up at second-storey siding without a ladder. Nozzle tips come as a set: 0°, 15°, 25°, 40° and soap.

Move the surface cleaner slowly and overlap each pass by about a third, or it will stripe anyway.

Best uses

  • Sidewalks, driveways and garage floors
  • Parking lots, warehouses and pool decks
  • Outdoor courts and decks
  • Second-storey siding (extension wand)

Troubleshooting

Surface cleaner leaves stripes or swirl marks

Checks to try, in order

  1. Slow down and overlap your passes.
  2. Clean the spray bar nozzles — one blocked nozzle leaves a stripe.
  3. Check the washer's pressure is high enough for the cleaner.

Reference draft — always follow the manufacturer’s manual.
