At Kings of Clean, we prioritize the health and safety of our customers and employees alike. In light of the COVID pandemic, the use of masks has become a hot topic of discussion. We've been asked several times if one should wear a mask while pressure washing, and we're here to answer that question for all our DIY enthusiasts!
It's important to know that pressure washing involves powerful water streams that can disperse debris and chemicals into the air. As a result, wearing a mask may provide added protection depending on the circumstances.
Protecting Against Chemical Exposure

While pressure washing, you might need to use specific cleaning solutions or chemicals. These chemicals can be harmful if inhaled, especially in concentrated amounts. In such cases, wearing a mask is highly recommended to prevent any potential respiratory issues or adverse health effects. If you're unsure about whether a specific cleaning solution warrants the use of a mask, consult the manufacturer's guidelines.
Safeguarding Against Airborne Particles

Pressure washing can kick up dust, mold, and other airborne particles. For individuals with allergies or respiratory sensitivities, wearing a mask can provide a layer of defense against these irritants. If you know that your property has a high concentration of allergens, such as pollen or mold, consider donning a mask during your pressure-washing project.
Preventing the Spread of Illness

Although wearing a mask while pressure washing may not be necessary for preventing the spread of COVID or other airborne illnesses in most situations, it is still a good practice to maintain social distancing during the process. No one should be close enough to the powerful water streams to be at risk of injury or exposure.
Wearing a mask while pressure washing can be beneficial in certain circumstances, such as protecting against chemical exposure or airborne particles.
