Pressure Washing vs. Power Washing: Knowing the Differences

mighty-cleaner-logo-gr

As a professional pressure washing company, we often get asked about the differences between pressure washing and power washing. While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are actually some distinct differences between the two services. In this article, we will explore these differences and help you determine which service is best for your specific needs.

 

Pressure Washing

 

Pressure washing is a method of cleaning surfaces using high-pressure water jets. The pressure of the water is typically between 1,000 and 3,000 PSI (pounds per square inch), which is powerful enough to remove dirt, grime, and other debris from a variety of surfaces.

 

Pressure washing is an effective way to clean a wide range of surfaces, including:

 

  • Driveways and sidewalks
  • Decks and patios
  • Building exteriors
  • Fences and decks
  • Cars and trucks
  • Boats and RVs

 

Pressure washing is also a great way to remove graffiti, gum, and other unsightly marks from surfaces.

 

Power Washing

 

Power washing, also known as pressure cleaning, is a method of cleaning surfaces using high-pressure water jets combined with high-temperature water. The pressure of the water is typically between 3,000 and 4,000 PSI, which is even more powerful than pressure washing.

 

Power washing is typically used for heavy-duty cleaning tasks, such as:

 

  • Removing paint from surfaces
  • Cleaning industrial equipment
  • Removing stains from concrete
  • Cleaning greasy surfaces
  • Removing mold and mildew

 

While power washing is more powerful than pressure washing, it should be used with caution. Power washing can cause damage to delicate surfaces, such as wood, if not used correctly.

 

Which Service is Right for Me?

 

When determining which service is right for you, it’s important to consider the type of surface you need cleaned and the level of cleaning required.

 

For most residential and commercial cleaning needs, pressure washing is the best option. It’s powerful enough to remove dirt, grime, and other debris from a wide range of surfaces, but not so powerful that it can cause damage.

 

If you need heavy-duty cleaning, such as removing paint or cleaning industrial equipment, power washing may be the best option. However, it’s important to have a professional handle this type of cleaning to ensure that it is done correctly and safely.

Mighty Clean Cans did a superior job on the exterior of our house. The roof, walls, walks and windows look like new (they hadn’t been cleaned professionally since the house was built over 20 years ago). The team was very professional and courteous.I was extremely impressed with the rapid response when I requested the quote, and the communications leading up to them arriving today. They arrived when they said they would, and there were no billing surprises.I heartily recommend Mighty Clean Cans, for both the regular trash can cleaning and their additional services for house washing. Thanks for a job well done!

I decided to do a full clean of my house (exterior, roof, windows, pool area, fence, driveway, sidewalk) and after seeing all the great reviews decided to try Mighty Clean Cans. Every interaction was prompt and professional. I received a very fair quote for the work and then on the day of the service they showed up right on time with a full arsenal of cleaning equipment. They got right to work and in a few hours the entire place was sparkling including some things I didn't even expect them to clean. They did such a great job I'm still blown away. Highly recommend their services and will definitely be using them again!
