The Benefits of Pressure Washing
What are the benefits of pressure washing? Having a patio or decking in your garden creates a stunning area for entertainment, dining and more. However, to maintain safety and appearance, it’s vital to implement a regular cleaning routine. Pressure washing (also known as power washing) uses a highly pressurised water jet to blast away dirt, moss, lichens, algae and even chewing gum from hard surfaces. It can greatly improve the appearance of your stone/concrete flags, wooden decking, patios and tarmac. It also makes them less slippery, which is important for health and safety, particularly on steps and pathways.
Pressure Washing VS Economy
Using a pressure washer is the most economically efficient way to clean your outdoor spaces. Cleaning your hard outdoor spaces with a simple hose wouldn’t give you the same results. A simple hose has a weak jet and great water flow. Which in turn this will result in poor results and a fatigued user. Due to the water flow being greater, you are using approximately 70% more water without gaining much of a result to show. Ensuring efficiency, pressure washers have a great water pressure to flow ratio
Stop Mould, Moss and Incrustations With Pressure Washing
Not only are incrustations, mould, and moss unappealing on the eye, but they can additionally cause structural damage. Especially within shaded areas of the garden, the formation of moss and mould is more prominent. Using a pressure washer with these tasks is a very effective way to bring your hard outdoor spaces back to life again! A standard hose can spray water at 10 bars, whereas the pressure washer on the other hand, can reach pressure bars within the hundreds. Moreover, the pressure bars are exponentially higher than those provided from your traditional tap and hose!
Additionally, another benefit of pressure washing is that it helps remove type tracks and oil droplets left by parked cars are your driveway. These are impossible to remove with the simple hose!
