What is Power Washing?

Power washing uses a high pressure stream of very hot water to blast all the dirt, algae, molds, dust and muds from the surfaces and objects that it is contaminated with.  

What is Pressure Washing?

Pressure washing also uses a high pressure to remove all the dirt, algae, molds, dusts and muds from the surfaces, objects as well as inside your house premises and buildings. Pressure washers can also be electric or gas and its pressure can range from 1300 to 2800 psi of pressure and it uses different types of nozzles depending on the certain area that you need to pressure wash. 

Difference Between Power Washing and Pressure Washing 

The main difference between the two is the heat. The jet wash in power washing uses heated water and pressurized steam while pressure washing does not use heated water. The heated water and pressurized steam makes it easy to clean the contaminated surfaces or objects while pressure washing uses water without the help of any heating element. Many people are confused between the two because they are similar but still they have differences. 

Now that you know the difference between the two and in case you want to try some DIY cleaning, here are some tips for you to follow to have an effective power washing or pressure washing:

  • Always follow the instructions given. Do not use the power washer if you don’t have any idea on how to function. It’s better to read and follow the manual and do some research on how to use it to avoid malfunction or injuries since it may cause certain accidents if there are some failures. 
  • Wear safety gear. This is one of the most important things to remember, before doing the pressure/power washing make sure to wear your safety gear if available. Use a comfortable shirt, pants and shoes that you won’t mind getting wet or being damaged at all. Wear also some safety glasses since there are chemicals that are being mixed on the water of pressure washers. 
  • If you are having a hard time handling DIY pressure washing, you scan always call Wash Buggy  to help you clean and pressure wash your home. Remember: you can pressure wash your area one or twice a year only- why? Because you don’t need to pressure wash more frequently since  pressure washing can blast away all the dirt and mold. It may take up to 6 months before the molds and dust come back and you don’t want to cause damage.
