Most companies in the area practice the aim and BLAST method of cleaning, instead of learning the proper procedures. This results in un-trained day laborers that learn how to power wash while on the job which can cause severe personal injuries and damages to your home!

A power washer in the hands of someone without the proper training is a nightmare for the unsuspecting home owner. So ask the company to answer these basic questions to make sure that you are hiring a reputable company that will take care of your property!

Is power washing and pressure washing the same thing?

Power washing and pressure washing are not the same thing. Power washing is using hot water that is heated by a large coil and a diesel burner system, which helps cleaning solutions work better.   For example, when washing your hands or dishes in your kitchen sink, soap and hot water will clean faster and do a better job cleaning your dishes.

Pressure washing is using cold water.  Pressure washing is a more aggressive form of cleaning that uses water at high pressure to scrub surfaces clean instead of using cleaning solutions. This type of cleaning should only be used for blasting paint off surfaces or Industrial cleaning.
