Get matched with top pressure washers in Alexandria, SD

You shouldn’t use a pressure washer on utility meters, generators, AC units, breaker boxes, or anything that contains electrical components. Don’t use a pressure washer on living things, either, including people, pets, and plants. Lead paint, asphalt shingles, stained wood, and painted items are also no-gos when it comes to pressure washing.

The difference between pressure washing and power washing is the temperature of the water. With pressure washing, cool water from an outdoor spigot supplies water to the pressure washing machine. With a power washer, the cool water is heated inside the machine, which has a heating coil. The power washer sends out heated, pressurized water for a deeper clean.

Most powerwashing jobs take 2-6 hours, but larger buildings or areas with deep staining may require an entire day.

Always wear protective gear, including a mask, gloves, and eye goggles, whenever you’re dealing with high-pressure cleaning or cleaning with chemicals. But even if you’re just using plain water with your jet washer, don some gear to avoid splashing—especially from the hot water of a power washer—or any particles of dirt or debris that might fly off the surface as you clean it.
