What is the Difference Between Power and Pressure Washing?

Jun 17, 2023 · 3 minutes to read

The terms power washing and pressure washing are used interchangeably. Even if you are a power washer pro, you may not know the difference between power and pressure washing.

Power washing and pressure washing may be the same thing at first glance. When you dig deeper, however, there are small differences between them. Before we get into the details of these differences, it is important to understand what high-pressure water cleaners are for and why they exist.

Uses for a Pressure Washer

The machine that is used for pressure washing is called a pressure cleaner. Although it may seem that pressure washing is a niche, almost anyone can be a client.

Imagine what a high-pressure cleaner can do. With its powerful water spray, it can effectively clean large surfaces. It removes dirt, dust, and grime as well as stains, mold, salt, and chewing gum.

The electric pressure washer is perfect for cleaning.

  • Building facades, both commercial and residential
  • Sidewalks, walkways, stairways, and patios
  • Parking garages, stadiums, and open-air plazas
  • All types of vehicles, including automobiles, buses, trucks, and boats

A pressure cleaner can be used to transform a building at a low cost. This is also the easiest way to maintain properties whether it’s daily, weekly, or monthly.

Businesses are not the only ones who can benefit from pressure cleaning. Even homeowners can use it to give their homes a fresh look.

Power washing vs. pressure washing

Heat is the main difference between pressure washing and power washing. The heated water used in the jet wash of a power washer machine is different from that in a pressure washing machine.

Pressure washing is more effective in cleaning areas with a lot of grime and mildew. The heated water is easier to use when cleaning surfaces, just like it is for washing dishes or your hands.

It is preferred for jobs that require a lot of cleaning. It is especially recommended for surfaces such as cement or concrete, which won’t be damaged by power-washing.

Do pressure washers require insurance?

Small businesses need to have business insurance. Pressure washers are not an exception. Pressure washer insurance is tailored to protect your business against the risks that you face daily.

  • Injuries caused by accidental property damage
  • Auto accidents
  • Equipment theft or damage

The types of business insurance you choose to pay depend on your assessment of the risks and requirements of your business.

You should get insurance quotes from companies that offer different options depending on your size and the type of coverage required.
