A Pressure Washer Makes Winterizing Your Home Easy

October 24, 2007 – Milwaukee, WI—The leaves are changing colors. The temperatures are dropping. Winter is right around the corner, and homeowners everywhere are faced with the daunting task of preparing their homes. The Briggs & Stratton 2550 MAX PSI Elite Series™ pressure washer not only makes winterizing easy, but greatly reduces the time spent doing so.

Cleaning seasonal items prior to putting them in storage increases their lifespan and prevents corrosion and fouling. Pressure washers are ideal for cleaning such seasonal items as lawnmowers, patio furniture, boats, ATVs and nearly any other item that needs to be put into storage over the winter.

“Pressure washers continue to be a valuable tool for homeowners when the time comes to winterize their homes,” says Scott Alderton, vice president of power products marketing for Briggs & Stratton. “With the correct accessories, a pressure washer cuts the time spent winterizing to a fraction of what it would take to do the same projects by hand.”

The nozzle attachments of the ProjectPro™ Nozzle System make this pressure washer unique by taking the guesswork out of the appropriate combination of pressure and water flow. ProjectPro includes specific nozzles for soap, delicate surfaces, general purpose and maximum power.

The 2550 MAX PSI Elite Series pressure washer is gas-powered which means it is more powerful, versatile and effective than its electric-powered counterparts. It helps you clean faster and with significantly less effort. Importantly, it also saves water, using up to 75% less than a typical garden hose.

Additional features include large wheels that never go flat for ease of mobility and an ultra-flexible 30-foot high-pressure hose.

The model 2550 MAX PSI Elite Series pressure washer typically retails for $399.00. Sale prices vary by retailer. For more information or to locate a retailer near you, visit our website.

Users should wear eye protection and review safety tips prior to using a pressure washer for the first time.
