When your business needs a spotless facade, commercial pressure washing is your solution. That’s because it not only revitalizes buildings but removes all stubborn stains, dirt, and grime from all the right places.

Power washing, or pressure washing, sprays water under high pressure to remove unwanted elements from buildings, masonry, fences, and concrete surfaces. While these two terms are used interchangeably, hot water is used in commercial cleaning situations for removal of tough oil stains, grease build up etc.

What is Power Washing?

The process breaks the bond between surface and dirt. Power washing uses a temperature of 250-320 degrees for cleaning purposes. In this high-pressure cleaning technique, a blast of heated water is discharged at a rate of 5 gallons per minute using 3000 psi of pressure.

Why Your Building Needs Power Washing

First and the foremost, power washing is essential for preventive maintenance of exterior surfaces. When it’s done professionally, commercial power washing extends the lifespan of your property. Thus, it prevents rotting, decaying, and premature falling of loose materials by eliminating contaminants from surfaces.

Power Washing vs. Pressure Washing

The idea of cleaning your commercial property using hot water is fascinating, but it’s not always a practical choice. Water shot from a high-pressure hose can take off any stuck dirt particle.

But, it’s not safe for masonry, bricks, or concrete. In effect, power washing can be harsh and cause damage to these surfaces.

While power washer is a viable solution for heavy-duty cleaning, use pressure washer for surfaces that need gentle cleaning.

You can deploy a power washer for areas infested with extreme dirt, moss, and mold buildup. Not only does it kill these elements, but it also prevents their return. On surfaces that can’t stand heat and pressure of these washers, it’s better to choose pressure washing.

What Surfaces Can Be Washed?

Not every part of your building can sustain the pressure of power washers. So, you shouldn’t try these techniques on painted surfaces, asphalt roofing, laminar sandstone (characteristic of many ancient beach sandstones), and stained wood. While any stains and dirt will certainly be destroyed, your surfaces could be ruined as well. Hence, make sure you only use pressure washing on the right, approved surfaces.
