Power washing services South Africa

Power washing involves using a high-temperature, high-pressure water spray combined with specialized cleaning agents to remove stubborn dirt, grime, algae, and mold from surfaces. Pressure washing, on the other hand, typically uses cold water and is suitable for less stubborn dirt. Power washing is more effective for deep cleaning tasks, especially on surfaces affected by mold and moss, whereas pressure washing is ideal for routine cleaning of decks, driveways, and siding.

While power washing is a highly effective cleaning method, it is not suitable for all surfaces.
