“Do I HAVE TO pressure-wash my Twister?”
// November 11th, 2009 // Uncategorized
One of the great things that differentiates the Twister leaf trimmer from the competition is that it is fully pressure-washable. This means that, after a long, hard day on the job, you can simply fire up the pressure-washer and have at it.
While this is a great benefit, the truth is that not everyone owns or has access to a pressure-washer. So are those people forever doomed to dirty machines? Of course not! There’s *another* great thing about the Twister: it strips down so fast and easy that it makes cleaning by hand a breeze.
At the end of use, all machine parts that do not come into contact with plant material can be easily wiped down and cleaned with WD-40. All parts that do come into contact with plant material can be cleaned with non-stick cooking spray. The shrouds, for example, can be removed and then soaked in WD-40 until the material becomes loose, while the roller can be soaked in non-stick cooking spray and then allowed to run against the tumbler for awhile.
A full guide to cleaning and maintaining the Twister is included in the Owners Manual that ships with every machine. But the point here is this: While pressure-washing may be handy for some, it is in no way necessary in order to keep your Twister leaf trimmer clean, healthy, and happy.

wondering if you can recommend a pressure washer as well as psi thats practicle to use during cleaning. Thanks
Thanks for the question, lamont. We can’t really recommend a pressure washer or PSI for people to use due to the fact the there are so many variables from user to user. For example, a lot depends on how consistently you’ve been cleaning your machine up to this point. If you’ve been cleaning it after every use, then a small pressure washer should do the job fine. But if you haven’t cleaned it in months and you have hard buildup caked on, then you’re gonna need something bigger with more PSI (you’re also gonna need to use something like WD-40 to loosen up the buildup before you pressure wash it; then a degreaser to remove the WD-40… (This is why we recommend taking the small amount of time necessary to clean your Twister thoroughly after every use)).
We can say that too strong of a pressure could damage decals, bend the tumbler or damage the brush. So do be careful.
We’ll post a video soon of cleaning using regular garden hose pressure, WD-40 and a degreaser. By allowing WD-40 to penetrate and loosen any buildup, the degreaser can it break down and it can be sprayed off with a garden hose.
