Hot Water Pressure Washing for Decks

Hot water pressure washing is also useful for cleaning decks. Unfortunately, all deck pressure washers are not created equal. According to UltimateWasher.com, the lower end washers usually do not have enough power to do adequate deck power washing. So people decide to use household bleach on their decks - a BAD idea. Although it takes away mold, it also helps destroy the wood.

It is important to keep your deck CLEAN to inhibit mold growth and extend the life of your deck. Another good reason for pressure washing!

Cold vs Hot Water Pressure Washing

Hot water pressure washing is the most effective method for cleaning jobs where significant amounts of oil, grease, or grime are present or if some heat reactive substance is being cleaned. Actually, pretty much ALL cleaning reactions work better with heat - imagine washing greasy pots and pans in cold water, for example.

Generally speaking, hot water pressure washing performs better than the cold water pressure washing. The main reason is that hot water pressure washers have a capability of heating up the water up to 200ยบ F. In power washing, the heat is the most essential element of cleaning. Heat and high water temperature combine to create a synergistic cleaning effect, which in combination with pressure washer chemicals emulsify the dirt, grease, grime and tough stains. After being loosened from the surface that is being cleaned, the hot water keeps the grease and grime in suspension while it carries them away.

Types of Hot Water Pressure Washers

Hot water pressure washing units can be very expensive - costing several thousands of dollars to purchase. Hot water pressure washing units can be gas, diesel, or electric powered. Some have electric motors and diesel fired burners while others have electric motors and burners - as per the following list...

  • Electric motor with diesel / kerosene burner
