What are the effects of high-pressure water jets on PVC planter surfaces?
High-pressure water jets are commonly used for cleaning outdoor surfaces, including PVC planters. While they effectively remove dirt, algae, and debris, their impact on PVC surfaces varies. The force of the water can strip away surface coatings or cause minor abrasions, especially if the nozzle is held too close. Over time, repeated use may lead to fading or weakening of the PVC material. However, when used at a moderate pressure and distance, water jets can safely clean PVC planters without significant damage. To preserve longevity, avoid excessive pressure and opt for gentle cleaning methods when possible. Regular maintenance with mild soap and water is often a safer alternative for PVC surfaces.
