Do you know the main difference between hot water and cold water power washing Vancouver?
There is a difference in the final outcome. You want to clean not only the dirt and grease, but also any other existing bacteria. Unlike other provinces, British Columbia has problems with moss and lichen removal. While cold press washers are ideal for removing dirt, they are completely ineffective in killing the medium in which these two challenges grow. The hot water system kills the existing bacteria as well as ensuring that re-growth is slower.
In addition, if the surface you are cleaning is mixed with oil or grease, a cold water power washing machine won’t clean as well as a hot water pressure washer. Think of it like washing greasy dishes in the sink. No matter how much soap you use, you are only smearing the grease around in cold water. Add hot water, and it cuts through the grease and oil in no time. The same applies to cleaning with a pressure washer. If oil or grease is present in any form, only a hot water pressure washer will remove it quickly.
