What’s the difference between power and pressure washing?

We are often asked by our St. Louis customers to explain the difference between power and pressure washing.

For surfaces such as brick or concrete, pressure washing is usually the best option. This is because it is gentler on surfaces. The same holds true for your porch or deck.


A power washer uses heated water. This better for extremely tough surfaces such as grime grease mildew salt etc. The hot water from a power washing will help remove the grease and grime that has built up over time.

Pressure washing is more common and will suffice for most of your residential and commercial cleaning needs.

In fact, heated water from a power washer can cause damage to concrete or wood. That is why it is important to hire an experienced professional.
