Equipment Needed
There are 2 main types of pressure washers. Hot water pressure washers and cold water pressure washers. Each have their own purpose. Hot water pressure washers are best for washing flatwork (concrete driveways, walkways, etc) that can have grease or oil residue. They are best to use when cleaning parking garages, drive thru's, and gas stations. Hot water is achieved with the use of a burner unit. Hot water helps emulsify grease and oil on surfaces and helping to remove it quicker. Cold water machines are most commonly used to wash residential areas. Siding, gutters, roofs, decks, and windows can all be cleaned effectively with the use of a cold water pressure washer.
Surface cleaners are pressure wash tools that facilitate the even cleaning of larger flat surface areas. There are many models available that attach to the end of a pressure washer wand. A surface cleaner has a disc shaped housing covering a rotating bar with a nozzle at each end. In use, the high pressure water is split into two steams which emerge through nozzles at the ends of the bar, directing the jets against the surface to be cleaned and inducing rotation of the bar. When the unit is moved over the surface the rotating jets clean a swathe a little smaller than the circular cover, which confines splashback and reduces noise. Larger models may have castors to maintain clearance and allow easy control of movement over reasonably smooth surfaces. Smaller versions may rely on a ring of plastic bristles for the same purpose. The water enters the surface cleaner through a trigger gun at the top of the handle bar, travels through a hose, the swivel, and the bar ending up passing through specifically sized nozzles to spray the surface and remove dirt and grime.

Understanding the Parts of a Power Washer
A power washer, or pressure washer, is a powerful tool that helps you clean surfaces quickly and efficiently. Understanding its key components can help you make the most of this handy equipment.
- Motor/Engine: This is the heart of the power washer, responsible for driving the pump and creating the high-pressure water flow. It can be powered by electricity or gas.
- Pump: The pump increases water pressure from the hose, delivering it through the nozzle. It's what enables the power washer to clean tough grime and dirt.
- High-Pressure Hose: This hose connects the pump to the spray gun, carrying the pressurized water to the nozzle.
- Nozzle: The nozzle controls the water stream's intensity and shape, allowing you to adjust the pressure for different cleaning tasks.
- Spray Gun: The spray gun is where you hold the nozzle and direct the water, giving you control over the cleaning process.
Together, these components work in harmony to tackle tough cleaning jobs, whether you're washing your driveway, deck, or car.

A Simple Solution for Restoring Your Property
Whether you’re looking to refresh your driveway, patio, deck, or siding, the high-pressure water stream can effortlessly lift away years of built-up dirt, mold, mildew, and other stubborn stains. It’s a great way to make your home or business look brand new without the need for harmful chemicals.
What makes it so effective is its ability to reach areas that are difficult to clean with traditional methods, such as cracks, crevices, and textured surfaces. The pressurized water not only clears away debris but also promotes healthier surfaces by removing mold and mildew that can cause long-term damage.
One of the best things about it is its eco-friendly nature. With only water and pressure doing the work, it’s a chemical-free solution that’s safe for the environment while still delivering impressive results. However, it’s essential to adjust the pressure settings based on the surface you're cleaning—too high of a pressure on delicate materials, like wood or certain types of siding, can cause damage.
In short, it is a fast, cost-effective, and environmentally-friendly way to keep your property looking pristine all year round. Whether you're preparing for an event, selling your home, or simply want to maintain your space, a good wash can make all the difference.
