Power washing uses highly pressurized water to blast away dirt and dust in a matter of seconds. Powering washing uses heated water which allows for thorough cleaning of those stubborn messes with serious grime, salt, or grease build up.

The main difference between power washing and pressure washing is the heat of the pressurized water. Power washing machines heat the water which allows for easier cleaning and removal of dirt, dust, and debris. Pressure washers do not use heated water.

Power washing is a great cleaning solution for outdoor patios, driveways, decks, fences, cars, and more. The heated and pressurized water makes handling dirt, debris, and grease stains easy.

A power washer typically uses anywhere from 400-600 litres of water per an hour. It may seem like a lot, but a typical garden hose uses ~3,500 litres of water per an hour. Not only does a power washer provide a more thorough cleaning solution, but it also is considerably more efficient with water use.

A typical power washer either has an electrical or a gas-powered engine that accelerates the flow of water to create a high pressure. The power washer pressurizes the consistent water flow from a garden hose to create a high-powered stream of water that is excellent for cleaning.
