Is pressure washing a good idea?

Pressure washing has become a preferred method of cleaning among many homeowners these days.

It’s kind to the environment.

Most heavy-duty cleaning products require a hefty amount of harmful chemicals. These cleaning solutions may be very effective, but typically it takes its toll on the environment. Pressure washing however requires a specific cocktail of chemical mix. In the long run this is kinder to the environment. Pressure washers work by blasting water at high velocity which then mixes with air.  The water stream power is often sufficient to lift stains and mildew without the need for harmful chemicals.

Pressure washing also reduces the use of natural resources. Due to the mix of speed and pressure the pressure washer uses less water compared to other cleaning techniques. It is estimated that the pressure washer uses between 70% – 75% less water than the average garden hose.
