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.
