Pressure washing is used to clean up buildings, concrete surfaces and vehicles. When all the scrubbing and scouring does not seem to be working, pressure washing is the option to choose. Pressure washing uses a high-pressure water spray to remove mould, loose paint, dust, grime, mud and dirt. The machine that gets this done is called a pressure washing surface cleaner. It consists of two or three high-pressure jets on a rotating bar that spins when water is flowing. This creates a uniform cleaning pattern that will clean any flat surface at a very short period.

Pressure washing machines have built-in nozzles that are used to change the direction and velocity of the flow of water. Nozzles allow water to travel long distances or achieve more pressure that helps to clean mould and dirt. But this high pressure can be dangerous hence they are colour coded. Nozzles range from black nozzles which have a 65-degree coverage to red nozzles which have 0-degree coverage. Extreme caution should be taken while using a 0-degree nozzle as it may lead to injuries and damages to surfaces.

Pressure washing is mostly used by households and businesses clean tough surfaces. Make sure to not get confused with power washing. In most cases, both the terms are used interchangeably but they are not similar. The jet wash in a power washing machine uses heated water. But this cannot be used with all materials because the heat might damage the surface. This is best for concrete surfaces which can withstand high temperatures.

When it comes to cleaning a tall building, its best to go with some kind of machinery that can lift a person to the required height, so, you might also want to look into scissor lift hire, cherry picker hire or crane hire.

Also, while dealing with asbestos it is not always a smart idea to use pressure washing because it can lead to the spread of asbestos-containing materials to a wide area and sometimes even to neighbouring properties. Therefore, it is best to look at asbestos removal or testing before starting pressure washing.

What can you clean with a pressure washer?

The most common surface cleaned with a pressure washer are sidings. If your siding looks discoloured or dingy then a pressure washing is what you need. Just make sure to adjust the pressure to a lower psi so that you don’t accidentally damage your siding. Driveways are also another popular surface to clean with pressure washing. Most driveways are covered with automotive fluids, dust or dirt from roadways. So, pressure washing would work best here. Same goes with your garage, all the dirt and oil stains can be easily removed with some pressure washing. While an attractive wood or a vinyl fence may look pretty, they can attract a fair amount of algae which can be cleaned with pressure washing. Apart from the above-mentioned surfaces, pressure washing is suitable for window washing of tall buildings that can gather lots of dust.

How long does pressure wash last?

Sadly, this question doesn’t have a straight forward answer because this depends a lot on where you live and what kind of dust gets into your property. Based on a range of factors, the answer can vary from a few months to a few years. If your property doesn’t get dirty easily then once every two years should be enough. Suppose your building is located on or near a dirt road then you might have to use pressure washing every few months. If your property is surrounded by a lot of trees, then it would cause sap to build up in which case you should do it once every six months. Generally, the thumb rule here is to get pressure washing done either once every six months or once a year.

How to keep concrete clean after pressure washing?

You can hire the best concreter to get a nice smooth finish for your concrete surface but you should also know how to maintain it. After a pressure wash, make sure to seal them for 2 or 3 years.
