A Brief History Of Pressure Washing
Pressure washing has been around since 1926, but it wasn't truly popularized until 1950, when Alfred Karcher made the first prototype of what would eventually become the popular house tool. Nowadays, there are many different types of pressure washers available, and our team at Exquisite Exteriors is skilled in using all of them! Whether you pressure wash your surfaces often, or have never done it before, we're here to help make sure your home or business looks great and functions properly.
Different Types Of Pressure Washers
Today, there are a few different types of pressure washing systems available on the market. They are:
- Coldwater pressure washers
- Hot water pressure washers
Coldwater pressure washers can be operated by gas or by electricity, though you'll want to make sure that you stay safe if you ever use this type. Gas-powered pressure washers are loud and produce fumes, so they should always be used outside, and never indoors or in other semi-closed spaces. Electric-powered pressure washers run, on average, on 120-volt electricity, so you'll need to make sure your home or business is set up to handle that voltage.
Hot water pressure washers clean very efficiently, especially for hard to remove stains such as oils and grease. The hot temperature, which is often above 300 Fahrenheit, works well to get rid of a variety of things, such as:
- Mildew
- Mold
- Bacteria and germs
Exquisite Exteriors also offers soft washing services, which are great for cleaning wooden fences, decks, or patios. Give our team a call today at 865-269-8126 if you're ready to schedule a pressure washing appointment with our highly-trained team of professionals.
