Basic Facts Regarding Power Washing

By Joyce Cox


Dirt and foreign materials usually occur on various surfaces, and they eventually cause unwanted effects and damage. Such foreign materials must be removed to avoid causing deterioration of structural integrity. Various methods can be used to remove the materials, including power washing. Pressure washing is usually done using a machine called a power washer. It can be used to clean various kinds of surfaces, including metal, concrete, wood, ceramic, and glass among many others. As such, it can be used to clean vehicles, floors, buildings, and roofs among other surfaces.

The force in the water spray usually depends on how powerful the washer is. This force is usually measured in terms of bar or pascals and varies with the size of the machine and the brand. The force can usually be varied using settings on the machine. The amount of force one needs in the water spray usually depend on the kind of work they are doing.

This technique of cleaning can be used in removing a wide range of materials. Materials that can be removed range from loose paint and chewing gum to grime and mold. It is a very effective process of eliminating surface debris. When well applied it is quite effective to an extent that one may not have to apply additional methods of cleaning. Hydro-jet cleaning is a more powerful version of pressure cleaning. It is applied in cleaning debris and dirt that builds up in tanks and lines.

Surface preparation is another important application of this process. When painting, it is important that the surface is prepared adequately, before the paint is applied. This guarantees a good finish as paint sticks better on a clean surface.

Surface preparation is also important during other processes including metalizing and paving. Like in painting, preparing surfaces before applying a metallic coat or pavement ensures that the adhesion is improved. The paved and metalized surfaces offer more resistance to tear and wear. They also look more beautiful in the end. Thus, preparation of a surface is an integral stage in these processes.

A pressure washer can be used in residential, commercial or industrial settings. Models used in commercial and industrial settings are large in size and capable of generating lots of pressure. The resultant water sprays are also quire powerful and can clear a big area in one swipe. Professionals with the necessary experience and skills are the ones who operate these types of pressure washers.

Pressure washers also find use in homes. Residential models are made smaller in size and they are affordable, making the number of people who own them today to be very high. This makes them cheaper to afford. Owners of these machines usually use them mostly in summer when there is a lot of debris and dirt coming from trees and other surfaces.

People use these machines to clean up their fences, walls, household appliances, vehicles, and furniture among many others. Usually the machine is set to a lower pressure to avoid damaging delicate surfaces and objects. Most residential pressure machines use electricity, which makes them clean and easily manageable.
