Power washing, also known as pressure washing, is a helpful step in your home’s maintenance. If you intend on refreshing the exterior paint job, the benefits of this technique are extensive and give your home’s curb appeal a boost. Below is a guide to power washing and what it does for your home.

A Brief Guide to Power Washing

What Is Power Washing?

This technique employs a high-powered stream of water that removes dirt, grime, dust, mildew, and old paint off surfaces. The various nozzle widths and knob controls adjust depending on the type of pressurized stream and water flow you need for the job. Power washers are available in both electric and gas versions, with gas being the stronger system. Care should be taken when using these machines as the intensity of the water is dangerous.

Why It Benefits Your Home’s Exterior

Anything from dust and spider webs to caked-on grime and fungus is purged. The power of the water makes cleaning simple, quick, and efficient, saving you time and money. When regularly cleaned, there is also less chance of pest infestations since nests and webs are removed.

For homes that aren’t regularly power washed, cleaning costs go up dramatically, since extra work is needed to remove impacted dirt and mildew. In addition, an annual cleaning benefits your family’s health because debris, grime, and allergens aren’t left to grow on the property.
