POWER WASH VS PRESSURE WASH. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Both power and pressure washing involve the same basic process of spraying high-pressure water at a surface for the purpose of cleaning it. And you’re likely to hear people using the two terms interchangeably. However, there is one important difference between power washing and pressure washing. Continue reading to learn more about these main differences.

Pressure wash is the function that is used most often in general cleaning situations, such as with most homes and driveways. Pressure washing is the use of a high-powered, high-pressured water machine that specializes in removing dirt, grime, mud, mold, moss, and other unwanted substances from a specific surface. The results are usually excellent and customers are quite happy with the cleaning process as a whole.

Power washing is quite similar to pressure washing, but with one major difference. That difference is heat.  Power washing involves the heating of the water used in the high-pressured water machine that provides even more cleaning power than with a regular pressure washer. The heat of the water targets tough stains and stubborn oil-based substances better than cool water machines. However, the high temperature of the water can be harmful for some surfaces.

Whether you seek the services of a professional or opt instead for buying or renting your washer, the type you choose should depend primarily on the surfaces you are going to clean. Oily and greasy surfaces are with a power washer which uses heat to melt away these stubborn stains; while dirt and debris, including moss and algae, can be cleaned away using the high-pressure jet of a pressure washer.

One thing is for sure, and that is that whichever washing technique you decide is best for your cleaning needs, whether it is power washing or pressure washing, you will be pleased with the end product. Nothing can spruce up a home, business, or the surrounding areas quite like good, thorough water cleaning.
