What type of nozzle should I use for different cleaning tasks?

When seeking to choose the appropriate nozzle for various cleaning tasks using a Karcher pressure washer, it is essential to consider both the surface type and the nature of the dirt or grime to be removed. Karcher provides a range of nozzles, each designed for specific cleaning scenarios, which enhances effectiveness and efficiency. For general cleaning tasks, such as washing vehicles, light patio cleaning, or washing outdoor furniture, a 25-degree nozzle is typically recommended. This nozzle produces a fan spray pattern that balances cleaning power and coverage area, making it ideal for rinsing surfaces without causing damage. In situations where more stubborn dirt or grease is present, such as in driveways or heavily soiled surfaces, the 15-degree nozzle would be a better choice. This nozzle delivers a concentrated jet of water that can effectively remove tough stains and grime, making it suitable for hard surfaces that require more intense cleaning. For delicate surfaces, such as wood or certain types of painted surfaces, a 40-degree nozzle is advisable. Its wider spray pattern minimizes the risk of damage while still providing sufficient cleaning power for light dirt and debris. Finally, Karcher also offers specialized nozzles and attachments, such as turbo nozzles that combine the power of a high-pressure point with a rotating spray pattern, making them highly effective for specific cleaning tasks. For more detailed information on compatible nozzles, consulting the product guidelines on the Karcher website can provide insights tailored to individual models and applications.
