The short answer to this question is “No”. Pressure washing and power washing are two different methods of cleaning, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Pressure washing uses high pressure water to remove dirt, dust, mold and mildew from hard surfaces such as stone, concrete or brick. This method works by forcing a stream of highly pressurized jet water across the surface at a rapid rate. Pressure washers use anywhere between 800-3200 PSI (pounds per square inch), while most consumer-grade models offer up to 3000 PSI. The higher the pressure used, the more effective it can be in removing stubborn materials like paint or rust without damaging the surface underneath. Power washing is similar to pressure washing but operates on much lower pressures around 1,000 – 2,500 psi depending on specific job requirements. It also utilizes heated water which helps melt away any greasy deposits that may be present on surfaces like asphalt and decks. In addition, hot water disinfects areas making it easy for professional cleaners. Thank you to Clear Choice Services for helping answer this question on the differences for pressure and power washing!
