Commerce Township Pressure Cleaning FAQ

What is a Pressure Washer and what does it do?

A pressure cleaner is a high powered commercial cleaning device that can remove the toughest stains on most flat surfaces. It can take oil off of ceramic. It can remove alcohol stains from brick. It you own a white house you can actually see the power washer remove the very grime and mildew from your siding. It is the most powerful form of cleaning that the average person can use without training. Simply gas it up, attach a garden hose to the back, affix the nozzle, and start the motor. Dirt never stood a chance.

What nozzle is used for which cleaning?

There are a variety of nozzles, each with their own application. The zero degree nozzle is by far the most powerful. This is the one for taking off the hardest, most caked on substances, but use it with caution! This particular nozzle can peel off layers of brick and cement, and will have no issue piercing skin as well. The next up is the fifteen degree nozzle, slightly less abrasive than the last. Next we have the twenty five degree, which is better suited for tough stains on delicate surfaces. And finally the forty degree nozzle is used mostly for rinsing away soap and loose dirt. After that, you can remove the nozzle entirely to dispense soap onto dirty areas.

Why can't I just power wash on my own?

While it seems cheaper in the short term to simply rent out a pressure washer and go it alone, it can actually cost you more in the hands of an unskilled worker. Power washers (especially when set to a zero degree angle) have incredibly damaging power when used on the incorrect surface. When applies to wood, it actually has the ability to strip the finish, strip the stain, and even peel the wood back itself. All harnessing the power of water.
