Differences Between Power Washing vs. Pressure Washing
Power washing and pressure washing are two distinct methods used for cleaning surfaces, and while they share similarities, they also have notable differences. The main distinction lies in the water temperature used during the cleaning process. Power washing involves the use of hot water, typically heated to around 200 degrees Fahrenheit. The high temperature helps to dissolve stubborn grime, grease, and stains more effectively. It is particularly useful for removing oily residues and sanitizing surfaces.
On the other hand, pressure washing relies on the force of high-pressure water to dislodge dirt, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from surfaces. While pressure washing does not incorporate hot water, the sheer force of the water stream is often enough to achieve a thorough cleaning. Pressure washing is commonly used for removing loose paint, debris, and dirt from surfaces like decks, driveways, and siding. It is worth noting that power washing should be used with caution on delicate surfaces, as the high temperature and pressure can cause damage. Conversely, pressure washing is generally considered safe for a wide range of surfaces.
Ultimately, the choice between power washing and pressure washing depends on the specific cleaning needs and the surface being treated. Consulting with a professional can help determine the most suitable method for achieving optimal results while safeguarding the integrity of the surface being cleaned.
Pressure Washing is the Foundation of our Exterior Paint Process
Exterior painting from CertaPro Painters usually follows a five-step process: washing, surface preparation, painting, cleaning, and inspection. The first step, washing, is the foundation of the entire project to remove mold, oil, and old paint so new paint absorbs into your surface better.
Pressure Wash
Any necessary areas of your home’s exterior will be pressure washed or hand washed to remove dirt and mildew.
Prep
Any loose paint is scraped, glossy areas are scuff sanded and any gaps are caulked to prevent water intrusion.
Paint
Your repaired areas are primed before premium-quality paint is applied to your home’s exterior, creating a uniform finish.
Clean
At the end of each day, the painting crew cleans up around your home, ensuring any paint chips are removed and all materials are stored neatly away.
Inspect
After our own inspection, your job site supervisor will walk you through the space, giving you the opportunity to review our work and to provide any initial feedback.
Soft Washing Services in Atlanta
In addition to power / pressure washing we also offer soft washing as a service. Soft washing is similar to pressure washing however it uses lower pressures and more cleaning chemicals. In many cases home exteriors can be soft washed where harder surfaces like driveways, walkways, and patios are better fit for pressure washing.
