What Is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing is a great way to clean outdoor surfaces like decks, patios, sidewalks, and driveways that involves using a pressure washer, a machine that pumps water at high pressure through a nozzle or wand. The pressure created by the machine, typically measured in pounds per square inch (PSI), can range from a few hundred to several thousand PSI. High-pressure water stream effectively dislodges dirt, grime, and other contaminants from surfaces such as concrete, brick, wood, and siding.
Many pressure washers also come equipped with a detergent tank or a system for adding cleaning solutions to the water stream. This allows the cleaning solution to penetrate and loosen dirt and grime, ultimately making it easier to remove.
Pressure washing is a versatile cleaning method that can be used for a variety of applications, such as removing oil stains from driveways, cleaning decks and patios, and washing exterior walls and windows. It is a fast and efficient way to restore the appearance of surfaces and can save a significant amount of time and effort compared to traditional cleaning methods. However, it's important to note that pressure washing should only be done by a professional who understands how to properly adjust the pressure and select the appropriate cleaning solution for the specific surface being cleaned.
