Few things are as truly satisfying as clearing years of accumulated grit and grime from a surface so that it is fully restored to its former glory. 

Many people often use power washing to denote hot water washing in places that are not easy to clean with soft washing techniques. Some of the best power washing jobs include the following:

Brickwork

You can see weathered and dirty bricks return to their former grandeur literally in front of your eyes.  In fact, you can watch them turn red from gray within seconds in an almost magical transformation. This is because hot water works best to remove aged dirt from all kinds of bricks and concrete blocks. Most bricks are susceptible to discoloration and weathering since their porous surface allows them to absorb dirt and grime.  It is this very porousness that makes them the ideal project for a power washing job. 

Sidewalks and Steps 

Sidewalks can become muddy and stained over time. Sometimes it is difficult to figure out the original color of the surface beneath. However, a power washer will make short work of all that dirt. Before you know it, your sidewalks and steps would look as clean as the day they had been built.

Garage Floor

A heavily used garage floor is often covered in oil and grease stains. These stains attract dirt and dust, and are just plain ugly. Over time, such stains lead to the discoloration of the floor or anywhere else where these spills have occurred.  Power washing can literally melt away all of these stains very quickly. A quick wash and viola – your garage would be completely restored. 

Driveways

Concrete driveways are also quite porous so dirt and mud get inside the cracks and solidify there. It is possible to use hot water at very high-pressure settings to clean the driveway so that it looks as good as new. A few slow passes can do the job quickly and safely. 

However, it is crucial to understand that power washing is not a job for amateurs. These machines can seriously injure untrained operators and cause permanent damage to your building if done incorrectly, so only highly trained professionals would be able to get the job done right.
