Pressure Washing Is Good For Exterior And Interior Surfaces

By Stella Gay


The world is a fairly dirty place. Your commercial building will get dirty just because the wind blows debris around. The rain will mix with this dust, other soils and even allergens to create a mass that can stick on anything. The front of your house, your building and the sidewalks. It will cloud the glass in your windows and make a mess in the entry way of your office building. The best way to get all of this cleaned up is to hire a company that does the pressure washing you may have heard about.

This process or system, is often called pressure cleaning or even power washing and is facilitated by the use of pressurized water. This is designed to remove substances that are not able to be removed with a brush or other cleaning processes. Since there are no chemicals, in the vast majority of applications, it is environmentally friendly and the runoff can be flushed down sanitary drains.

In Holly Springs NC, the machines that generate that kind of pressure are available in many sizes. The commercial range is between 250 PSI to about 6500 PSI. In this case, PSI means pounds per square inch and it is this force that removes the substances that can adhere to cleanable surfaces. This includes contamination that is both natural and man made. It is also what allows this cleaning to be conducted without chemicals.

The pressure, used in the proper amount and with an appropriate nozzle makes chemicals unnecessary in most applications. The nozzles are a major part of the process and must be chosen carefully. One of the most popular ones oscillates and surges a stream of water composed of many separate streams to power off stuck on material fairly quickly.

There are other nozzles that can delicately sweep a sidewalk or roof. These are various angles of attack that range from a steady stream through an arc of about 180 degrees. This is similar to a coarse push broom and can be used on items such as statuary, that can be damaged by anything stronger.

Based on the nature of the material to be removed and the surface on which it is stuck, the nozzle is one of the most important elements of the system. After the selection of the proper pressure, the nozzle will either be too weak or too strong. The experts who will handle your job will make the correct decision because there is more than the surface to be concerned with.

It is interesting to note that a professional crew, trained and experienced in cleaning this way, do not have to be confined to the outside. This type of chemical free cleaning has been used, to great effect, inside of food processing plants as well as chemical manufacturing lines. Since the best sanitizer is still plenty of fresh, cold water, this is a perfect system to use for these areas. Cross contamination is not a problem with this type of cleaning.

The number of world class manufacturing plants, in Holly Springs NC and across the area means you need the cleaning power that this process provides. The fact that this can be used inside as well as outside makes sense and will help everyone feel better about what they are doing. The North Carolina area will benefit from this approach to cleaning and professionals are standing by who can help you.
