Pressure Washing Techniques For a Deep Clean

When you have dirt, grime, oil, or even graffiti around your home, you may want to try your hand at pressure washing techniques. You’ve seen others using the machines, and it really looks easy, and the dirt simply falls off the object. You might want to take a second look at the pressure washers.

Power or high-pressure cleaning uses a direct blast of water that they heat internally, and they use chemicals or solvents to help in the cleaning process. The water is discharged at five gallons per minute and up to 3,000 pounds per square inch of pressure. A lot of damage can be done with that much pressure if the operator is unfamiliar with the process.

If you’re planning on cleaning the garage floor and/or concrete driveway, you shouldn’t have any problem, and that would be a good place to start for the novice. However when you move to the side of your home where windows, plants and bushes are there, damage could be very costly.

Rather than rushing out to buy a power washer, try renting one first. The person where you rent it could give you advice on which machine to use, the solutions necessary to get the job done, and how much pressure to use.

If all that seems unnecessary and you’ve never used a pressure washer before, possibly you should consider hiring a professional to do the job. Many cleaning processes take delicate and skilled hands to get the job done. The professional will finish the job quickly and easily where it would take you the entire day to do the same.

There are different power washing techniques and just a few are:

SODA BLASTING – environmentally safe, and will clean multi-layered surfaces. It is non-corrosive and safe to use near food equipment.

SANDBLASTING – used for stripping and abrasion.

DRY ICE BLASTING – that shoots dense dry ice pellets into harmless gaseous substance on impact. It is safe around food equipment and dries instantly.

Anytime you find the need to remove grime, film or stain on your buildings, driveways or walls around your home or business you’ll want to discover the different pressure washing techniques instead of tackling the job yourself with a bucket of soap and water.

To find a professional you might try going online for a local contractor who is efficient in pressure washing techniques. They’ll know exactly the right method of cleaning all types of pollution and fuel emission residue, also mineral, lime and even hard water deposits.
