Types of Equipment Used
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.

Soft Washing Vs Pressure Washing – We do Both
When it's time to restore the luster to your home, you should carefully consider the advantages of pressure washing and soft washing.
You probably know that keeping your home looking its best requires regular cleaning. However, the toughest stains and grime sometimes require the intervention of special equipment or expert help, like soft washing or pressure washing. Soft washing and pressure washing typically use the same tools, but they differ in fundamental ways that make them appropriate for some tasks and not for others.
When paint, mold, algae, mildew, and stains prove to be beyond the reach of scrubbing or household cleaning solutions, it might be time to turn to pressurized water. For more fragile surfaces, or those involving adhesives, soft washing is the best way to achieve a new sheen without harming delicate areas. Highly durable materials, such as concrete, can be pressure washed into looking pristine.
