Using a power washer is nasty work. A lot of that grime gets all over YOU. While you get soaked.

Last summer my dad wanted to paint some old chairs a different color. We had these two dark gray-green Adirondack chairs that we’d had probably since our house was built. Enter the power washer. Turns out we had two light gray-brown Adirondack chairs. My bad!

It doesn't use a lot of water since it's pressurized. Plus it waters the plants.

Pressure washing or power washing is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove loose paint, mold, grime, dust, mud, chewing gum and dirt from surfaces and objects such as buildings, vehicles and concrete surfaces. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_washing
