Commercial Power Washing Guide

There are so many aspects to manage when you own a business, and maintaining the exterior of your building is another thing on that list. It may not seem important, but having a clean exterior is more inviting to customers, and it is also crucial to ensure you don’t end up with costly repair bills.

Power washing and pressure washing: what's the difference?

Power washing and pressure washing are sometimes used as interchangeable terms. They are very similar cleaning methods, but not exactly the same thing. It is important to know the difference since you can’t power wash everything you can pressure wash and vice versa. Both use a strong, explosive stream of water to clean buildings, roofs, sidewalks, and so much more, but the difference is that power washing is spraying out heated water, whereas pressure washing is spraying water that is not heated. Using heated water is great for hard to remove stains or organic matter, think mold, fungus, mildew, algae, Because the heat will disinfect as it cleans.

Investing in a regular maintenance schedule can prevent a lot of damage that can occur over time from dust, dirt, and grime.

The exterior of your building may not seem related to your business, but it may be the first impression someone gets of your business.
