Power Washing Fun Facts 🇺🇸💦
Why Power Wash?
As opposed to scrubbing an exterior surface by hand, power (or pressure) washing is a faster, more effective way to clean. Cleansers treat the surface for the typical contaminants like dirt, grime, algae, mold, and mildew. Afterward, a safe yet appropriate amount of pressure is used to rinse everything away.
How Does Power Washing Work?
For scientific reasons, water works wonders when removing a stain or spot. The water molecules have positive and negative charges, so they stick to things easily. Adding soap chemicals can help the water break down grime. Power washing takes your solution to the next level to remove imperfections or help you explore a more efficient approach.
A pressure washer is a tool with a water pump powered by an electric motor or gas engine. The pump accelerates water and pushes it through a hose. A narrow jet of water travels to the surface you’re cleaning with high kinetic energy, removing dirt and dust. While the machine works, a filter prevents debris from entering the system. This setup ensures you’re able to spray a surface with clean water.
The attachments at the end of the hose control the amount of pressure the machine provides. It’s important to use suitable pressure to clean safely and protect a surface from damage. Additionally, the nozzles can control a narrow or wide spray or produce different motions. For example, a spinning wand or a rotating brush can add additional scrubbing power to break down tough dirt and grime.
Depending on your home, regularly scheduled services seasonally or at least once a year offer an excellent way to keep your home exterior looking ideal all year round.
