power washing
definition
**Power washing**, also known as **hot water pressure washing**, is a cleaning method that involves using a high-pressure stream of hot water. The main difference between hot water power washing and standard pressure washing (which uses cold water) is the addition of heat, which makes the cleaning process more effective, especially for certain types of grime and stains.
**Benefits of Hot Water Power Washing**
- **Enhanced Cleaning Power**: The heat helps break down grease, oil, and other stubborn residues more efficiently than cold water.
- **Sanitization**: Hot water can kill bacteria and other microorganisms, providing a level of sanitization that cold water alone cannot achieve.
- **Faster Drying**: Surfaces cleaned with hot water tend to dry faster because the heat causes the water to evaporate more quickly.
Hot water power washing is often used for industrial cleaning, commercial kitchens, garages, and other areas where grease and oil are common. It’s also effective for removing chewing gum, graffiti, and other stubborn stains.
