POWER WASHING VERSUS PRESSURE WASHING

Power washing and pressure washing are similar yet different, and there are instances where one will be preferable to the other. The key difference that will determine whether power washing or pressure washing is needed depending on the water temperature. Leave Professional power washing and pressure washing contractors will know which to choose for your home, company, and fleet. POWER WASHING: If the surface is in need of special cleaning or is soiled with things such as mold or persistent grime, power washing will be needed since this method utilizes extremely hot water. As a part of the process, contractors employ a heating device that ensures that the water remains hot throughout the power washing process. Non-professionals might make the mistake of using the pressure washing technique rather than the power washing method, which would lead to lacking results. Power washing combined with the right soaps and chemicals will result in a more thorough cleaning. PRESSURE WASHING: While power washing units use hot water to get the job done, pressure washing units usually use cold water and extreme pressure to clean various surfaces. Pressure washers are ideal for surfaces such as cement (cement cleaning) and brick (surface cleaning) as long as these firm surfaces are not affected by mold. Pressure washing is also a good way to remove gum sticking to sidewalks, paint from metal objects or walls. Professionals will be able to adjust the pressure if they feel that failing to do so might result in permanent damage to the surface to be pressure washed. PARTING THOUGHTS: Home owners or business owners might get the two types of washing confused since they actually do share some of the same components and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. However, those who use a pressure washer where a power washer would be better – or vice versa – likely won’t be satisfied with the end results. Even worse, they could end up making the situation worse or waste money by buying or renting the wrong equipment. This is why it makes sense to call professionals who not only know the difference between pressure washers and power washers, but also understand how to determine which one to use for which job.
