Pressure Washing Is Environmentally Friendly

By Stella Gay


When you think about all of the things, such as dirt, dust and other soils, flying around in the wind, you wonder where it all goes. It, because of the rain and moisture, will get deposited on the fronts and sides of your commercial building and house. It will also get plastered onto the sidewalk, occasionally added to by the oils and other debris from the street. When this accumulates to the point that it really is a mess, hiring a firm to come in and do the pressure washing you have heard about is the best idea.

This cleaning process, often called pressure cleaning or even power washing uses high pressure water to scrub all surfaces clean of debris, contamination and, usually, oily, sticky material that does not respond to brushes and a bucket. The professionals, who do this every day, are trained in this specialized cleaning method and use the correct equipment to accomplish this.

The pressure that is being discussed is in the commercial range of between 250 PSI to 6500 PSI. The higher the number, the greater the pressure as PSI means pounds per square inch. The mechanical action of the water will agitate the surface and remove even some very dried on material. No chemicals also means no chemical reactions with anything being cleaned.

The water does not need chemicals because of the pressure that is generated. This pressure is helped by the configuration of the various nozzles that are selected for each project. The nozzles are threaded or clamped onto the end of the wand which is held by the crew member. The popular nozzle, for all large, very dirty areas is usually the power head. This consists of open ports that oscillates and surges water in a way that agitates the surface and soils to remove them easily.

The other selections of nozzles includes those that can delicately sweep such things as roofs and walkways clear of nothing more than leaves or small twigs. This can be used on statuary, glass and is shaped like a fan, through the entire 180 degrees of arc. Using the proper nozzle is critical and these professionals will make that selection carefully.

The selection of the proper nozzle is critical when setting up the project and the professionals who do this can make that decision, based on the surface to be cleaned and the nature of the material to be removed. Too high of a pressure, from the machine and an inaccurate choice can etch the surface or break through any protective coatings that may be present.

These cleaning crews do not have to confine their processes to the outside. The many food or chemical plants, across the country, as well as in Holly Springs NC, will benefit from a cleaning that can accomplish this without chemical reactions. Cleaning the ceilings and walls, as must be done from time time, without cross contamination, is achieved quickly with less trouble and in a sanitary way.

There are many high technology firms in the North Carolina area and this cleaning is perfect for the vast majority of them. The products, produced here, need the back up of the most environmentally friendly cleaning available. This process, when undertaken by the professionals who do this every day, will help preserve the world class status of these firms and make conditions better for everyone involved.
