Was using my electric pressure washer to clean the driveway, and a piece of debris shot up straight at my safety glasses. They saved my eye for sure. Make sure you're wearing proper PPE, esp. goggles not just sunglasses.

Good reminder! I always wear my safety glasses but I've been guilty of not using ear plugs. That high pitched whine from the motor is no joke either.

+1 on the earplugs. I got a cheap pair from the hardware store and they help a ton. Also, anyone else use steel toe boots? Dropped a nozzle on my foot once, ouch.

My Karcher came with a nice set of goggles, but I always upgrade to the 3M ones with anti-fog. Worth every penny. And yes, closed toe shoes at minimum!

Yeah, anti-fog is a game changer. I'm gonna pick up some earplugs too, thanks for the tip guys.
