A pressure washer is every clean freak’s best friend, but you don’t have to be OCD about cleanliness to appreciate this fun and guilt-free form of entertainment.
Thanks to a popular subreddit that’s dedicated to power washing anything and everything, these SFW transgressions are looking better than ever!
Just take a peep at ‘Lil Bo’s sheep, whose trip to Petsmart ended with her fleece looking whiter than snow.
Or check out a formerly drab old castle in Poland, which is now looking fresh-faced and dewy after getting its pimples popped by Dr. Power Wash.
Trust me. Your eyes will be totally satisfied with these 75 things that completely changed after getting a good old-fashioned hose down.
1. “Roommates thought the sink was permanently stained. I got bored in quarantine and proved them wrong.”
You only proved that you’re a moron. Now your roomies know how to get you to clean anything!
@you-turn-me-on:
“Your roommate is a genius getting you to fix the problems by telling you it’s impossible.”
2. “That’s Imperial Castle in my hometown Poznań. It looks way better after cleaning.”
Hey, even old castles need a good scrub down now and then. This one was hundreds of years overdue.
@okbutfirstcoffee:
“Oh wow. It looks like a totally different building! They even power washed the tacky logo off of it!”
3. Is this power washing enough?
So that’s how you get fleece as white as snow. Not even baby sheep are born this pretty!
@ghostpoopies:
“I showed my husband. He gets this horrible look on his face and asks ‘they spray paint them?'”
4. “Feast your eyes, you powerwashing freaks!”
Ah, it would have been nice to have seen the entire process, one dirty tile after the other. Then I could have a cigarette afterward.
@Nismo929:
“At first glance, I seriously thought that was a photo taken from a plane of wheat fields.”
5. “Power washed patio then built a canopy!”
Wow, what a perfect do-over. Not only is all the grass gone, but the dog went with it too!
6. “I’ll finish washing the fence tommorrow. But untill then…”
The artistic ambition here is incredible! I’d say leave it like it is, except all that dirt bothers me.
@pazimpanet:
“The second you posted this every member of my HOA board jerked awake in a cold sweat.”
7. “A building janitor in France trying to give a smile for the residents during the lockdown.”
Helllooooo kitty! That view would definitely put a smile on every cat lady’s face.
@encreturqouise:
“The stores are full, even wine shops and bakeries are still open. The real fear is to be fat and alcoholic in a few weeks.”
8. “Picked up this old concrete park table as a freebie. Had to take the power cleaner to it! Apologies for the cat, he’s an exhibitionist.”
It’s a perfect match! The kitty’s bespeckled bum looks exactly like the right half of the bench.
@hello_raleigh_durhum:
“What a cat-ass-trophy!”
9. “Picasso on Driveway. Dirt, water, power washed concrete. Me. 2020.”
The things people learn how to do during the quarantine is absolutely phenomenal. This guy has taken powerwashing art to the next level!
10. “Power wash the driveway she said”
Ah, this makes me so happy! It must have been such a blast to do this.
11. “Looks almost like fresh paint!”
At least now people can see which step they were on when they twisted their ankle. I’m already trippin’ just looking at this wacky design!
@gnibz:
“Two more sides and it coulda been a deck-agon.”
12. “I told my wife I was taking pictures for my friends on reddit. She said ‘They’re not your friends'”
Wifey is wrong – we are definitely his friends! Anyone who can make stuff shine like this is a friend to all.
13. “Power washed for the very first time, thought you guys would enjoy.”
He’s just like Michelangelo but with a power washer. He just chipped away at what wasn’t the basketball court, and the masterpiece appeared.
14. “Now we won’t slip going down the stairs”
Yeah, because now you can actually see the stairs! The texture here is amazing.
What a glow up! It must have been amazing to see that rainbow of color reveal itself, brick by brick.
@KevinLikesWhiskey:
“Dang! The color is so unexpected. This image looks like what it feels to find $20 in your coat pocket!”
16. “Very dirty tractor from fall”
Whoa this big boy cleans up nice and fine. Is it wrong to think a tractor is sexy?
17. “Customers patio area that I cleaned recently!”
Nicely done! The kaleidoscope of colors here is stunning.
18. “My husband bought me a power washer for Mother’s Day. I wasn’t thrilled at first, but now I couldn’t be happier!!”
Can’t wait to see the rest. My heart is already racing at the thought of seeing this bench in all its naturally naked glory!
19. “I didn’t even know we had multi-colored tiles.”
It’s a real shame for that lawn, though. It just got owned by this new and improved patio!
20. “16 years of neglect vs 3200 psi pressure wash.”
It looks gorgeous! Now the Amazon-loving porch pirates will have an excuse to show up at your house more often.
21. “Before and after my first wash job.”
It went from looking like the stairway to hell to the stairway to heaven. If only our sins could be cleansed so easily!
22. “When I mentioned starting a pressure washing business, people laughed, shrugged it off, or claimed there is no money in it.
Four years later, and this guy is so glad he started this biz. It’s a win-win situation – he gets the satisfaction that comes with watching dirt melt away, and he gets paid for it too!
@mikehocksbig:
“Moral of the story… Don’t listen to the people who haven’t accomplished anything. Find a positive mentor and chase that dream!”
23. “Got this table for free today.”
Nice work! You could make a ton of money flipping those free tables on Craigslist and selling them for profit.
@12inchvoices:
“Sat here for longer than I care to admit wondering where tf the legs went.”
24. “Today the fence, tomorrow the world”
You should powerwash the tree, too. Oh wait, looks like you already did that.
@buttholic:
“Got the neighbor’s house too.”
25. “Did this for my grandpa, what do you think?”
Your grandkids must be really proud to have the #1 grandpa in the world! Your work is putting all the other grandpa’s out there to shame.
26. “I see your driveway, and raise you an entire ship.”
Okay, you win! Or maybe not. ‘Cause damn, an entire ship must take weeks to clean!
@jessicacourtney:
“Are they leaving those spots JUST to piss me off?”
27. “Just moved into a new rental and knew this would be my first thing to do”
I’m feeling so confused about this right now. It’s so satisfying to see this perfectly split down the middle, and yet the incomplete clean-up job bothers me!
@weboddity:
“It’s a duplex so they did their half.”
@nikezzz:
“Even the tree was cleaned only half.”
28. “I told my dad that people on reddit love this kind of stuff.”
This is a good reminder of why I should never clean my shower stall door. This material can get so crystal clear you can see everything!
29. “Can you tell where they stopped for the day?”
Yes, I can totally tell and it’s quite annoying. They did half-ass job with this and need to fix it!
30. “My clothes smelled like swampy ocean and seagull poop but that was a price I was willing to pay.”
Thank you sir for your service to all that is orderly and clean. We acknowledge and appreciate your sacrifice!
31. “The back patio of our new house. I have on good info that it hasn’t been cleaned in around 40 years.”
Not gonna lie, that moss has a nice, Old World patina sheen to it. But like they say, out with the old and in with the new!
@neondave:
“I guess unless you’re in the English countryside, the mossy wall would kind of look out of place and neglected. Enjoy your new toy!”
32. “Power washed these Adirondack chairs that have been sitting outside for 30 years.”
It’s the latest and greatest in anti-aging! You can literally powerwash the years off your face! (Warning: your face may wash away right along with it).
33. “Wife wanted to buy a new playhouse. I wanted to use my powerwasher.”
What a bold, brave, and totally amateur move on his part! It looks nice, but he actually loses this round for not listening to his wife.
@dudeidontknow:
“If that’s the playhouse your wife wanted to replace my mind reels at how much money you must have. Playhouse looks nicer than my actual house.”
Mick Jagger must have never seen a pressure hose before he sang “I can’t get no satisfaction.” Because obviously, this is beyond satisfying.
zovaass6476:
“It became so clean that the sun came back.”
35. “I just assumed that those were the colors of the tiles when I bought the house…”
Never assume anything. Just listen to the sound of the powerwash splashing the dirt away, and let that guide you.
@CurryOmurice:
“It’s like a scratch and reveal bingo board. Anyone got 6 quartz in a row?”
36. “Dirty tractor and cart. Not a perfect job but still a little difference.”
But it IS making a difference in the hearts of so many clean freaks! Too bad it’s just going to get dirty all over again.
@landogriff1:
“You are too humble. Your title should read: I am the greatest power washer ever.”
This is what archaeologists must feel like when they brush away all the dirt by hand on an important dig. But it’s so much quicker to just get to the big reveal with a pressure hose!
38. “Power washed half the tennis court.”
And the other half of the tennis court hates you for playing favorites. Where’s the love in this game?
@John_basics:
“I thought you power washed all the paint off the left side for a second…”
39. “First time using a power washer and it was the most joy-filled 45 minutes I’ve had since pre-corona times.”
Thanks for the tip! Now we know what to ask for Christmas this year: world peace and a power washer. Joy to the world indeed!
40. “I was passing by a building in Tehran and I saw this.”
Er, what power washing? You mean that’s not a dark shadow?
41. “Totally did not realize the amount of grime build up.”
You call that grime? The La Brea Tar Pits called and it wants its yucky stuff back! Good job getting rid of that prehistoric mess.
42. “The previous owner left her power washer. After 9 months, my husband finally used it. 2020 Thrills”
Dare we ask…what was in the dank, dark hole? ‘Cause if that’s a big outdoor toilet, you’ve taken cleaning duties to a whole new level.
@DonaldBubbleTrousers:
“Whats… Whats in the hole…?”
@NosyAsshole:
“It puts lotion on its skin.”
43. “First time with a powerwasher! I played Tetris with paving slabs”
Great, as if power washing wasn’t already addicting enough. Now we’re playing Tetris with it, too!
@hairless_hero:
“Your going to lose.”
@chart589:
“Everyone chill… clearly he’s going to bump the L over and hook it under. then rotate the squiggly guy and land it in just fine.”
44. “A little tennis court cleaning we did this week”
Nice job! The colors really pop now that there’s not a decade’s worth of dirt cover it up.
45. “I never knew these stones had such an awesome pattern. At least 10 years since cleaned.”
Stone is something that’s supposed to look old and worn. But wow, this looks amazing with a fresh coat of anti-aging powerwash cream!
46. “My neighbor knows where his property line ends.”
That’s right. When your neighbor doesn’t want to wash their side of the fence, this is how you show them exactly what they’re missing.
@sepheikepheus:
“When the textures didn’t load properly yet.”
47. “I just came across this sub and remembered this picture from 4 years ago. I think it fits nicely here.”
Yowzers! This is like the difference between a crusty old ship with barnacles hugging the hull, and a luxury yacht that only rich people can afford.
48. “New Fence, Who Dis??”
You should have left a dirty spot behind. Now your HOA is going to fine you for installing an unauthorized fence.
49. “Before & After: power washing our patio furniture”
Some people will actually go to great lengths to get that shabby chic, sunweathered teak look on the left. But great job giving your patio chair a spray tan!
50. “Washed off 20 years of Texas weather this weekend.”
Hey, you could just call this art and stop right there. Plenty of people would pay double for the privilege of having you do only half the work!
51. “One of the only good things about all of this free time…”
Looks like a boat maker designed this deck. At least we know it’ll weather any storm!
@waldenfont:
“Is this lens distortion, or do you live in an oddly shaped house?”
52. “Should’ve taken a video but satisfying nonetheless.”
It’s true, 8 out of 10 Humpty Dumpty’s prefer to take a great fall from the clean side of the wall. It’s just more satisfying in the end, they said.
53. “Cedar picnic table I power washed last summer. It had sat in the shade unused for 9 years. It’s good as new!
This table sat in the shade for 9 years, totally unused. Now it’s primed and ready for the neighborhood pigeons to drop some stinky graffiti from the air!
There is still hope for all the old wooden furniture out there! Take it from this little guy, who went from having a near-death experience to being a beacon of light.
55. “Pressure washed a thing today”
I’m not sure how I feel about this one. That bubblegum pink isn’t exactly an improvement. Can you please powerwash that color out of existence?
56. “My sister has been busy”
Bad sister! She missed a huge mossy patch on the wall! My OCD meter is now on high alert.
There’s something to be said for the aged patina look that only time can bring out. But the need for shiny clean stuff always wins in the end!
Does no one ever think about all the poor weeds that are killed in the process? Who is speaking up for their rights?
@disnigah1:
“Wow. Did you have to hit it with a weed whacker or was that all the washer too?”
59. “Another one revived”
This is why you should never wear shoes in the house! ‘Cause, that’s years of crud and doggy doo that just got power washed off this beautiful hardwood floor.
60. “1930s tile roof power washed to reveal original colors”
Ah yes, there’s nothing like abestos from a bygone era to brighten your day. That, and all those pretty colors, too!
61. “Been a lurker for a long time, decided to get my own. This is the result! (I’m more happy with it than I’m showing)”
The property value on this home just skyrocketed thanks to that hose down. It looks great!
62. “Blasting away the red Georgia clay!”
Gotta admit, red Georgia clay never looked so good. Especially now that it’s been blasted away!
@FreddyF2:
“Most satisfying post on here in days!! Makes me just want to point that power washer at my face!!!!!”
63. “Gave our side patio some love. This was satisfying.”
What a heroic makeover. It went from the Incredible Hulk back to Bruce Banner.
64. “Blowing off the old deck table”
Oooh, that’s really satisfying to see that in action. Better slow down, this is getting too exciting!
65. “Power cleaning a bird bath”
All the migrating birds of the world thank you. Now they can see exactly what they’re aiming at when they pass overhead.
66. “As bought on eBay (left) vs. now”
Both of these have amazing color qualities. It just depends on whether you prefer the weathered green patina look, or an earthy reddish hue.
67. “Probably should have done this sooner.”
The difference is so stark, it almost looks like the corner of a wall. Glad you decided to help this wall come out of the shadows and into the light!
68. “Gonna be a long day”
I don’t care how long this takes, please finish the job. It’ll be soooooooo worth it!
69. “Before and after. Just need a new net now.”
Hey look. Even the backboard is smiling now that it’s had a bath!
70. “Probably been over 80 years since my patio was made and it has never been power washed”
Sometimes all a patio needs is some TLC. And that fish sprinkler pond is out of this world ah-mazing!
71. “Cleaning the fire area next to my house”
Not gonna complain ’cause that’s a major improvement. But you missed several dark spots and now it looks like it has melasma.
72. “Welp, I guess it was finally quaran-time to power wash the back courtyard.”
It was so dirty that even the sun didn’t want to touch it with a million-foot sunshine pole. Now that the courtyard is clean, the rays of light are back!
73. “Saw my friends porch and insisted on pressure washing it for her!”
What an incredible friend you are! It’s amazing to see the bigger, perfectly square picture unfold.
@theguywithcrazykids:
“Yeah. Someone will soon be buying or annually renting a pressure washer after seeing their backyard transform like that. Speaking from experience.”
74. “The satisfaction of removing all that moss already made buying the pressure washer worth it.”
Very satisfying indeed! Now if only you could fix that dead patch of grass where the dog is obviously doing his thing every morning, and this will be perfect.
@energiserbunny:
“I for sure appreciate the before and after, but something about that moss is enchanting me…”
@squidsauce:
“It’s enchanting until you slip and bust your ass on it.”
75. “Old Federal Courthouse getting a good cleaning!”
Good job, civil servants! They may have very well prevented another plague by cleaning those stairs of the Black Death.
@ekibwurm:
“The souls of lawyers are leaking?”
