Electric pressure washers and gas-powered pressure washers are built to do the same basic thing – to remove dirt with a high-pressure spray gun. They use a special pump, detergent tank, and motor to pressurize hot water or cold water, depending on the situation, and remove tough stains.
But when you hire Shane’s Gutter Cleaning Solutions to pressure wash your home, driveway, or another area, what pressure washer detergent solution is actually used? That’s a good question. And the answer is… it depends! Read on to learn more.
Most Pressure Cleaning Jobs Need A Mild, All-Purpose Cleaner
There are a lot of different pressure washer cleaning products available for use in powered pressure washers. These soap detergents all do the same basic thing – they help break the bonds that hold stains, debris, and dirt in place.
Along with the high power of the pressure washer, they can remove dirt and grime very effectively. This leaves your property looking great after pressure washer cleaning.
Any mild, all-purpose pressure wash detergent will do the job – for the most part. However, there are some situations where different solutions may be used for power washing.
Bleach & Vinegar Can Be Added For Mold & Mildew
If you have issues with mold and mildew, an initial rinse with a mixture of water and bleach or vinegar may be used. This helps kill the microscopic spores that cause mold and mildew, eliminating the problem at its source. This is usually followed up with a standard power wash with an all-purpose detergent.
Antimicrobial Additives May Be Used
If you have a lot of problems with mold, mildew, fungus, and algae – which is very common in hot, humid climates – specialised antimicrobial additives may be used in the power washing solution.
These additives don’t just rinse away, but stay on the surface of the material for a long time, and help prevent the buildup of stubborn fungus, mildew, mold, and other unwanted growth.
Heavy-Duty Jobs Require More Soap And Scrub Brushes
Adding extra soap to the pressure washer can be helpful if there are some very tough stains that won’t go away with pressure washing alone. Along with heavy-duty scrub brushes, this extra-soapy water soaks deeply into the surface. Scrub brushes can loosen the dirt and other grime, scrub away years of buildup, and ensure a great result.
