What's worse than washing a hog barn? Washing a hog barn ceiling, what's worse than that? Cleaning the house. Seriously, I would rather pressure wash a hog barn then clean my house!

Do you know what happens to manure and stale feed when backed into a corner by a pressure washer? It comes right at you traveling what feels like a hundred miles an hour.

Pressure washing a hog barn gives my brain too much time to think. Last week, while washing the nursery, I thought about washing advice I would give others.

Five tips from me to you:

#realpigfarming: After washing the nursery last week my husband tweeted this picture and "Wow talk about clean, this is cleaner than our house"!

1. If given a choice, always choose the pressure washer with hot water. It will steam the barn up but will make the job easier and faster. Just think of it as a steam facial!!

2. Choose your pressure washer tip carefully. I prefer a flat fan but decide what works best for you.

3. Be careful where you point the wand! Water has to go somewhere and when you're pointing it into a corner or feeder it most likely will be right back at your face. That water may include stale feed, manure and re-hydrated bits of afterbirth. If stepping over a crate or gate, hold on to something. When water is coming out of the wand at 3000psi and you are caught off balance it will knock you on your butt every time. Or so I have heard.

4. Cover up and keep your mouth closed. It's not a beauty pageant. A bandana or hat is a must, water resistant pants are recommended and never, even accidentally wear a white shirt! The best tip of all? Keep your mouth closed.

5.That tickling spot? SMACK IT. Nine times out 10 it is a drip of water, but those spider webs didn't appear magically. That 10th time it is likely a spider!

Bonus Tip: Consider it a workout! Don't pay gym fees, I always say I don't need Crossfit because I am Agfit!
