I cant find a standard specific to pressure washing, other than with abrasives. Can anybody recommend suitable gloves for this task?

On the assumption that you are pressure washing with water, plus perhaps a detergent, then any good quality, reasonably thick natural rubber gauntlet would be the best. If you need more PM me with your e-mail and I can let you have some recommendations. (Note, I do not sell gloves!) Chris

Thanks Chris, My main concern was the pressure but I'm a bit happier now that our standard rubber gloves will cover it. Thanks again, John

Can you confirm the process? If that's a needle-jet of water then gloves are unlikely to help!

Ron, Its a fan type. The likelihood, in reality, of an operators gloved hand coming into contact with the spray is minimal but not impossible.
