What is Power Washing?

Power washing is an incredibly effective exterior cleaning method! It uses high-pressure water to blast mold, algae, loose paint, grime, and even graffiti off of a surface. How much pressure or PSI should you use when cleaning your home? That depends on the material.

How Much Pressure?

Many people believe that exterior home care is all about intensity! But not all surfaces can take the pressure! That’s why our experienced technicians have a safe cleaning method that will wash even the most delicate surfaces. But first, let’s learn a little bit about PSI.

  • LOW PSI: About 1,000 – 1,900 is considered to be on the low end. In fact, you might own a pressure washing unit like this. Many homeowners use this type of pressure washer for small jobs around the house.

  • MEDIUM PSI: 2,000 – 2,900 is about the middle of the road. And it’s used for heavier residential chores. They come in gas or electric varieties.

  • HIGH PSI: Professional contractors like the Smart Wash team use water pressure ranging from 3,000 – 6,900 to clean commercial properties, and some residential surfaces. This level of pressure should be handled with care because it can severely damage your property if used improperly. Thankfully, our technicians are trained and experienced in handling

What NOT to Power Wash:

  • Roofs
  • Outdoor Wood Furniture
  • Windows
  • Wood Decks

Is a Gentler Method Still Effective?

In our line of work, it’s all about using the right tool for the job. High PSI cleaning is perfect for surfaces that are more durable. But for the more sensitive surfaces of our home, we need a gentler solution – Soft Washing. This involves using a powerful detergent along with low PSI water. But can you really get your house clean without all the muscle of a higher PSI? Definitely! Our detergent easily breaks down algae, mold, and other contaminants. So by the time you’re ready to rinse, these elements have been loosened and are ready to slide off with the water.

Why Hire a Professional?

Many homeowners in Alexandria love DIY projects! And for many things, doing it yourself is a great idea. But that’s not the case with pressure washing. Why not? In untrained hands, a power washer can become a weapon that destroys your home instead of a tool to restore it. Using too much power can cause several years worth of damage to many of the more delicate surfaces of your house such as your roof, siding, and deck. That could cause some expensive repairs. And without experience using these tools, you could be risking your safety!
