Because of the versatility and usefulness of pressure washing machines, more and more people desire to rent and use them around the house. This is also the case for commercial properties, as there are many interior and exterior areas small businesses can easily clean using pressure washing.

However, although versatile and very useful for cleaning all types of surfaces, DIY pressure washing is not advisable. In fact, without the proper training, operating a pressure washer can result in personal injury and property damage.

Reasons Why DIY Pressure Washing is Not Advisable

Because more and more people are renting pressure washers to clean the sides of their homes, driveways, walkways, pool sides, and decking, an increase of cases of property damage and personal injuries have been reported. If done correctly, pressure washing is very effective at cleaning all types of surfaces, safely. On the other hand, without proper training in how to use a pressure washer, it is very easy to unintentionally cause property damage.

For example, using too much water pressure around pool sides can cause damage to tiling, wood decking can become damaged, and if not careful personal injury can occur. Using too much water pressure is the most common cause of cases of property damage and personal injury, as it is easy to underestimate the power of highly pressurised water jets.

Sadly, many have unintentionally etched lines into their home’s siding, carved strips out of wood decking, and taking the paint off of surfaces such as vehicles, tools, and machinery. To avoid all the pitfalls associated with DIY pressure washing, it is advisable to hire a professional company to handle all of your pressure washing needs.

The Benefits of Professional Hot and Cold Water Pressure Cleaning

While many people are aware that pressure washing can effectively clean surfaces, most do not understand the differences between hot and cold pressure washing. Before any surface is to be cleaned, professional cleaners using pressure washers will determine whether to use hot or cold pressure washing.

Cold pressure washing is ideal for safely cleaning most surfaces, such as walkways, sidewalks, driveways, garage floors, and even parking areas. Cold pressure washing using lower water pressures can effectively and safely clean softer surfaces such as wood decking.

Hot pressure washing is very effective at removing tough stains, grease, oil, and chemicals off of metal, concrete, stone, and brick. Great care should be taken when hot pressure washing, that is why DIY pressure washing it not advisable because of the risks of damaging property and personal injury.

Maternal child health facilities are provided to help expecting mothers and new parents, with free health services for all families in Victoria that have small children from newborns to school age. At these facilities, maternal and child health services work with families and health professionals to provide information, education, and assistance on prevention, early detection, and the well being of small children, as well as other health concerns.

There are maternal and child health facilities throughout Victoria, in every local government’s jurisdiction, as these are funded jointly by state and local governments. These health centres are staffed by qualified health care professionals and are managed by local governments, with support from many other health care professionals specialising in maternal and child health services.

Just like any health care related centre, maternal and child health facilities are tasked to maintain the highest standards of sanitation and hygiene. In this way, facility administrators are promoting child and women’s health by maintaining clean maternal child health facilities.

Clean Maternal Child Health Facilities Promotes Child and Women’s Health

The standards of sanitation and hygiene have changed a lot over the years, with medical facilities leading the way by example. When maternal child health facilities are kept clean, presentable, and free of germs, viruses, and disease, it creates an environment that promotes child and women’s health.

For example, when floors, toilets, sinks, baby changers, and trash bins are kept clean and sanitised regularly, and proper bathroom consumables are supplied, it helps to maintain the overall cleanliness of maternal child health facilities. In fact, in health centres, public restrooms are the main sources of germs, viruses, and disease, which is why these areas should be the main focus of cleaning and sanitary efforts.

When public restrooms are regularly cleaned and sanitised, and consumables such as toilet paper, liquid soap, and paper towels are properly stocked, maternal child health facilities are easier to keep clean. When public restrooms are neglected in health centres, it not only reflects badly on management, but it increases the chance of germs, viruses, and disease spreading throughout the centre, putting child and women’s health at risk.

Administrators of maternal child health facilities can promote child and women’s health by hiring professional cleaners from Australian Commercial Maintenance (AUSTCM), to maintain a high standard of cleanliness and sanitation of the public restrooms in their facilities.

AUSTCM is a reliable and respected cleaning company in Victoria. Our professional cleaners can ensure that public restrooms in your maternal child health facility meet and exceed the highest levels of cleanliness and sanitation standards that promote child and women’s health.
