I thought something different was going on based on the title, but I don't think either thing is bad...

When she damages something with that pressure washer, who's gonna fix it?

My wife did the same thing, she's a clean freak anyway but when I showed her how it worked and did part of the deck she took over and went to town, deck , sidewalks, stairs, the fence. I had to get more gas just to keep her happy

Don't let her wash the house with it as it blasts water inside the walls through cracks and removes construction fillers. Plus cars shouldn't be washed with them either - water ends up in places it shouldn't be.

We've got one that has an electric pump and a diesel burner...
 You'd be amazed at what HOT high pressure water will take off.... |

I've got a POR-15 stain in the driveway that I've been working on for about 7 years....send her over if she wants a challenge.

My wife uses the pressure washer way more than me. I just use it on vehicles

word of warning! I use my 3000lb PW to cut thru rock hard dry clay I can't get with a shovel. I've cut roots with it. it will slice thru window screens like they were not there. not very pretty when you hit skin close up. of course I usually use the pencil point tip but the narrow spray tip does almost the same job. one more thing.... you'll take off the top and have rocks showing on concrete
