HOT AND COLD PRESSURE WASHING
Hot and Cold Pressure Washing in Harlem, GA
The Right Temperature for a Deeper Clean
Not every cleaning job is the same—and not every job needs the same water temperature. At Performance Pressure Washing, we offer professional
hot and cold pressure washing in Harlem, GA, allowing us to match the right method to the right surface. Whether you're removing stubborn grease or giving delicate siding a rinse, we tailor the temperature and pressure to maximize effectiveness and safety.
Using temperature-controlled systems, we target dirt, grime, oil, and mildew more efficiently and protect your property from unnecessary wear.

Why Temperature Matters in Pressure Washing
High-pressure water alone isn't always enough to break down deep stains, oils, or biological growth. The temperature of the water plays a critical role in how well contaminants are removed from surfaces.
- Hot water pressure washing is best for oily, greasy, or sticky stains
- Cold water pressure washing is perfect for routine surface rinsing and general buildup
- Using the wrong temperature can lead to ineffective cleaning or surface damage
Our technicians assess each surface and its condition before selecting the proper method. This ensures optimal cleaning without overusing pressure or chemicals.
What Is Hot Water Pressure Washing?
Hot water pressure washing uses heated water—typically between 180 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit—combined with high pressure to break down and remove tough stains. The heat allows the water to emulsify oils and grease, making it easier to lift them from the surface.
Hot water pressure washing is ideal for:
- Commercial kitchens or dumpster pads
- Driveways and parking lots with oil or automotive fluid leaks
- Grease-stained patios and concrete
- Industrial equipment and heavy-duty surfaces
- Fleet washing with stubborn grime buildup
It’s the most effective solution when grease, gum, or tar are involved and when cleaning needs go beyond general rinsing.
What Is Cold Water Pressure Washing?
Cold water pressure washing is the standard method used for routine cleaning. It uses ambient temperature water combined with pressure to clean surfaces without the need for heat.
Cold water washing is effective for:
- Siding and exterior walls
- Fences and decks
- Walkways and sidewalks
- General surface maintenance
- Seasonal pollen, dust, and dirt removal
Cold water is especially useful for regular upkeep, newer surfaces, or materials sensitive to heat, such as painted wood or vinyl.
Benefits of Hot and Cold Pressure Washing
By offering both options, we provide clients with a more complete, efficient, and property-specific cleaning experience.
Benefits include:
Deeper cleaning of grease and oils without the need for harsh chemicals
Faster removal of stuck-on substances like gum, tar, and sap
Better results on commercial and industrial surfaces
Protection of heat-sensitive materials like siding, painted trim, and fencing
Improved sanitation for areas like dumpster pads or food service zones
Lower environmental impact due to less chemical use and water waste
Matching the right temperature and pressure to the job ensures surfaces are clean, intact, and ready for daily use.

How We Determine Which Method to Use
Every project starts with a detailed inspection. Our team evaluates:
- The surface material and condition
- Type of contaminants (oil, algae, dust, food waste, etc.)
- Location and surrounding features
- Environmental and water management considerations
- Surface age and structural sensitivity
From there, we choose the safest and most effective method—hot water, cold water, or a combination of both. We always prioritize cleaning quality and surface protection.
