Common Uses for Mobile Power Washing:
- Vehicles: Cleaning trucks, cars, buses, and more.
- Buildings: Washing the exteriors of homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.
- Concrete Surfaces: Cleaning driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and patios.
- Heavy Equipment: Washing construction machinery and large equipment.
- Graffiti Removal: Using high-pressure water to remove graffiti from walls and other surfaces.
- Fleet Cleaning: Regular cleaning of a fleet of vehicles.
- Pressure Washer: The main tool, available in various types:
- Cold Water Pressure Washers: Ideal for general cleaning tasks.
- Hot Water Pressure Washers: Better for tough stains like grease and oil.
- High-Pressure Units: For heavy-duty, industrial cleaning tasks.
- Water Tank: Our mobile units often carry a large water tank, so we don’t need a water source at the job site.
- Detergent Tanks: These hold and mix cleaning detergents with water during the washing process.
- Surface Cleaners: Attachments for even cleaning of flat surfaces like driveways and parking lots.
- Hoses and Reels: High-pressure hoses that can reach different areas; hose reels make them easy to deploy and store.
- Nozzles and Tips: Various nozzles adjust the spray pattern and pressure for different tasks.
- Brushes and Scrubbers: For detailed work, we use brushes and scrubbers alongside pressure washing.
- Vacuum Recovery Systems: To recover and recycle water, especially in environmentally sensitive areas.
- Power Generators: These ensure our equipment runs smoothly, even if there’s no electricity on-site.
- Heated Coils/Burners: Used in hot water units to heat the water.
- Water Filtration Systems: These treat and recycle water to reduce waste.
- Safety Gear: Our operators wear goggles, gloves, boots, and protective clothing to stay safe.
- Pressure Washing:
- Water Temperature: Uses cold or room-temperature water.
- Best For: General cleaning like removing dirt from driveways, decks, and vehicles.
- Equipment: Typically uses different nozzle attachments to adjust the spray.
- Power Washing:
- Water Temperature: Uses hot water, which is better for breaking down tough grime, grease, and oils.
- Best For: Heavy-duty cleaning, such as garage floors, heavily stained driveways, or greasy areas.
- Equipment: Includes a heating element to heat the water for more powerful cleaning.
- Pressure Washing is best for lighter cleaning tasks and delicate surfaces.
- Power Washing is more effective for tougher jobs involving grease, oil, or deep-seated dirt.

- Windows: Use lower pressure to avoid cracking or breaking.
Safety Tips:
- Adjust Pressure Settings: Higher pressure for durable surfaces, lower pressure for delicate materials.
- Use Appropriate Nozzles: A wider spray pattern is safer for most surfaces.
- Maintain Distance: Keep a safe distance between the nozzle and the surface.
- Test a Small Area First: Ensure the surface can handle the pressure before proceeding.
- Hire a Professional: If in doubt, it’s best to hire a pro to avoid damage.
