Spray-flex Makes Pressure Washing Easier—and Safer

According to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), falls accounted for nearly 35% of fatal construction accidents in 2012. Spray-flex, an easy-to-use new product that’s revolutionizing the cleaning industry, keeps workers off slippery ladders while allowing them to complete jobs faster and with greater attention to detail.  

With Spray-flex, technicians stay safely on the ground, while gaining access to difficult-to-reach areas such as vehicle roofs and undercarriages or hard-to-reach nooks and crannies in buildings. In addition to catastrophic falls, many workers suffer from injuries to the back, neck and shoulders due to the awkward angles they’re forced to assume when using traditional pressure washing systems. Spray-flex systems improve safety for workers in both the short and long term, all while getting the job done quicker and with greater quality than previously possible.

Spray-flex wand attachments fit easily to the end of any pressure washing system wand. The attachment, made of American steel, allows the technician to direct the water flow in any direction and at any angle. The Spray-flex attachment always holds its shape, even under the extreme force of a pressure-washing wand. Spray-flex systems allow for washing from multiple distances. The 24-foot pole system lets technicians on the ground reach as high as two stories. The 36-inch wand system allows for comfortable cleaning at eye-level, and the shorter gun system makes it easy get up close and personal with tough spots. The flexible Spray-flex attachment easily interchanges with all three models.

Pat McCauley, a California painting contractor with over twenty years experience, also moonlights as a real life “Doc” from Back to the Future. A fast talking and faster thinking creative mastermind, McCauley suffered his own back injuries from years of awkward pressure washing. He saw a drastic need for a new and safer way to complete this work, which is so necessary in the painting and cleaning industries. “Anyone who works in this field knows power washing is uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous work. Spray-flex exceeds even my expectations. You just bend the wand, not your aching back. It’s the best way to spray without killing yourself!”

Spray-flex is available in both individual components and as part of a complete pressure-washing package. Visit www.spray-flex.com to learn more about our products, watch informative videos, or purchase your Spray-flex system.
