Many commercial and industrial businesses and properties can benefit from pressure washing and power washing services. However, there are still many people who don’t know the difference between power washing and pressure washing. The information below is meant to help business owners and managers to know the differences between the two, so that they can better utilise these services and benefit from their full potential.

The Difference between Pressure Washing and Power Washing

Understanding the difference between pressure washing and power washing will help you make better decisions about when and where to use them, in an effort to keep your business clean. Here are the differences between power washing and pressure washing:

Pressure washing – if you want to thoroughly clean the outside of a building, then power washing will surely do the job. Pressurised water is applied to hard surfaces like metal, brick, and concrete, to remove or dislodge tough debris, such as mud, dirt, mold, oil, and grease.

The force of the water is typically higher in pressure washing than power washing, and it can effectively blast away much debris, but not all. For example, oils, caked on grease, and some types of chemicals need more than just a stream of high pressurised water to be removed. Hot water is needed.

Power washing– besides the difference of the water pressure used, it is the temperature of the water that defines the use of power washing. In this regard, the use of hot water makes power washing a completely different cleaning service. Pressure washing uses normal water temperature, and power washing uses scalding hot water to remove debris from hard surfaces.

Because of this, hard to remove dirt, grime, mold, oils, grease and other hazardous materials can be easily removed jets of pressure hot water. While pressure washing is good to use outdoor on sidewalks, car parks, and hard surfaces, power washing is ideal for use on dirty machinery and equipment to remove grease, oils, and grime, or in restaurants to clean floor mats, tile flooring, metal screens, wash areas, and even drains.

Because both pressurise washing and power washing uses jets of high pressure water, it is important to hire only professional cleaners, to avoid any risk of personal injury and damage to property.

The importance of proper waste disposal in commercial buildings cannot be over emphasised, as it should be conducted regularly to ensure the health and safety of people and the environment. All types of commercial buildings, such as offices, hotels, retail stores, shopping malls, restaurants, and schools generate a considerable amount of waste that needs to be disposed of regularly.

The cleanliness of the exterior and interior of commercial buildings can impact how customers, visitors, and guest view the quality of service and professionalism of the management. This is one of the main reasons why keeping all areas of commercial buildings regularly cleaned and maintained is so important.

Benefits of Outdoor and Indoor Cleaning Services

Professional cleaning services can definitely help to keep commercial buildings clean, inside and out. Oftentimes commercial buildings do not have permanent cleaning and maintenance staff, and when there are in-house cleaning staff available, they are most always under skilled and ill-equipped to properly clean and dispose of waste properly. Without commercial cleaning equipment and supplies it is impossible to properly clean the exterior and interior areas and spaces of commercial buildings.

Other reasons why regular waste disposal in commercial buildings is important are listed here:

Minimises pollution – keeping litter, debris, and trash off the ground in areas around the outside of commercial buildings is important, that is because it prevents it from being washed away into storm drains and eventually reaching streams, rivers, and the ocean.

Discourages littering – when the surroundings of commercial building are regularly cleaned and maintained, it discourages people from throwing trash on the ground. It is recommended to place trashcans near the entrance of commercial buildings to help keep trash off the ground.

Deters the presence of rodents and insects
– when trash accumulates it attracts rodents and insects, creating a breeding ground for disease and germs that can spread throughout a commercial building. Placing ample trash bins inside commercial buildings, as well as trash cans in parking areas and at entrances, can greatly help to collect trash so it can be properly disposed.
