High-pressure cleaning, often referred to as pressure washing or power washing, is a cleaning method that uses pressurised water to remove dirt, grime, stains, and other contaminants from various surfaces.
It is a popular and efficient technique for cleaning hard surfaces, buildings, vehicles, pavements, and other outdoor structures.
By contrast, soft washing uses lower pressure as well as detergents and other chemicals. It is the better way to clean more delicate surfaces.
But why should you invest in high-pressure cleaning for your domestic or commercial property?
1. Present a More Professional Image
High-pressure cleaning can drastically improve the appearance of your property, making it more inviting to customers, clients, and tenants. It effectively removes dirt, grime, and stains, rejuvenating the look of the building’s exterior.
And clean surfaces can better reflect light, creating brighter and more welcoming spaces.
2. Improve Health and Safety
Pressure cleaning removes slippery substances like algae or moss from walkways and entrances, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
It can also help remove allergens, bird droppings, and pollutants, creating a healthier environment.
3. Prevent Degradation
Regular high-pressure cleaning can prevent the build-up of harmful substances like mould, mildew, or salts that can erode surfaces over time.
Pressure cleaning can also extend the life of your brickwork, siding, and concrete.
4. Save Time
High-pressure cleaning is generally faster and more efficient compared to traditional cleaning methods.
5. Better for the Environment
Often, high-pressure cleaning can eliminate the need for harsh chemicals, relying on the force of water alone.
And modern pressure washers can be designed to use less water than they used to.
I recommend hiring a professional, such as myself. But if you want to do some pressure-washing yourself, follow these 10 tips.
