First off always allow adequate dwell time for your chemical cleaning agent. Chemicals will do the majority of the work when it comes to cleaning 90% of exterior substrates including brick. Just because you can hit brick with high pressure tips doesn’t mean you should skip the chemical application steps. High pressure can easily blow out the grout and even chip off corners of brick.
Secondly never engage the pressure gun directly facing the substrate. It’s good practice to fire the pressure washing gun away from the item you are cleaning. After the gun has been engaged then you can bring your spray stream towards the substrate. Just because you are softwashing with low pressure tips the pressure spikes up soon as you release the trigger. If your unloader calibration is set at 3,000 PSI depressing the trigger releases a burst of 3,000 PSI. I have personally knocked over a brick fence with my pressure washer. It would have eventually fell on someones child, but lesson learned is that high pressure water is powerful.
