The Pressure Washer Rental Reality
Pressure washer rentals require technical matching and safety awareness:
PSI Matching
Wrong pressure damages surfaces or doesn't clean
Gas vs. Electric
Indoor/outdoor use determines type
Safety Critical
High-pressure water can cause injury
Accessory Needs
Surface cleaners, extension wands, detergents
Weekend Rush
Home projects drive Saturday demand
Multi-Day Projects
Deck restoration, house washing span days
Sound Familiar?
Real challenges from real rental operators.
The PSI Guessing
Customer needs 'a pressure washer.' For what? Driveway needs 3000 PSI. Deck needs 1500 PSI. Wrong choice = damage or frustration.

The Gas vs. Electric Decision
Indoor use needs electric. Customer didn't know. Gas unit can't be used safely in garage.
