What Is Power Washing?

January 15, 2024

What Is Power Washing?

Power washing is an effective and convenient cleaning method that gets rid of substances like mildew, mold, algae, dirt, and grime. Power washing is versatile and can be used to clean various surfaces like driveways, patios, siding, and even rooftops. A to Z Power Washing is a leading company with years of experience providing superior power washing services throughout Metro Detroit.

How Does Power Washing Work?

Power washers use a pump to spray pressurized water and cleansers to wash outdoor surfaces. Different power washing techniques vary depending on the machines, pressure amount, and type of surface that will be cleaned.

Some of the surfaces that we can clean effectively and thoroughly with power washing include:

  • Siding and roofs
  • Driveways and sidewalks
  • Decks and patios

Types of Power Washing

Most people believe that power washing is a single technique. However, there are different ways to power wash surfaces. From water temperature to pressure levels, there are several elements that come into play when choosing the right method for cleaning. At A to Z Power Washing, we calibrate the appropriate temperature and pressure to offer a safe and efficient solution for each job.

The main types of power washing include:

Soft Washing

Soft washing uses a water pressure under 500 PSI along with cleansers and a soft bristle brush for optimal cleaning. This method is especially useful for more delicate surfaces like roofing or siding. Our house washing services utilize soft washing techniques to protect your home's exterior.

Cold Water Washing

Cold water washing uses the same principle as pressure washing with room-temperature water. It is useful for cleaning surfaces with sedentary materials like dirt or mud.

Jet Washing

This method uses specialized machines that heat water to temperatures over 200 degrees. Jet washing removes stubborn grime and oils in industrial, commercial, and residential settings.

Our Washing Method

A to Z Power Washing uses different calibrations of pressure and specialized cleaning solutions and accessories to ensure proper cleaning. Our soft washing method is ideal for cleaning delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, wood panel siding, roof shingles, and painted surfaces. It can be used with special cleansers to remove and prevent the growth of substances like mildew, lichen, moss, and algae from your siding.

Benefits of Power Washing

Hiring professional power washing services is a time and money-saving alternative to other cleaning methods like hand scrubbing. The key benefits power washing offers to homeowners include:

  • Enhancing curb appeal
  • Preventing damage to surfaces
  • Increasing property value
  • Promoting a healthier living environment
