How to tell the difference:
Pressure Washing or Power Washing?
The terms pressure washing and power washing are often used interchangeably. So even if you’re a professional in the power washing domain, you might not be clear on the difference between pressure washing vs. power washing.
At first glance, it may seem that pressure washing is actually the same as power washing.
However, when digging deeper, there are some small differences between the two. But before we go into detail on those difference, it helps to better understand the basics behind high-pressure water cleaning and what a high pressure washer is for.
Best uses for a pressure washer
A pressure cleaner is the actual machine used in pressure washing. While it might seem like a niche market, the truth is that almost everyone is a potential pressure washing client.
Think of what a pressure cleaner does — with its high-pressure water spray, it is uniquely able to clean large surfaces, effectively removing dirt, dust, mud, grime, stains, salt, mold and even chewing gum.
This makes a pressure washer perfect for cleaning:
Exterior facades of buildings, both residential and commercial
Sidewalks, stairways, walkways, patios and driveways
Public spaces like stadiums, open air plazas and parking garages
Vehicles of all types, including cars, busses, trucks and boats
