Things get dirty and there is nothing you can do about it. The road grime and dust, dirt and blowing debris will get plastered all over the front of your building or house. It will also make a mess of the sidewalks in front and the side yard at home. Recovering from all of this mess is what the pressure washing services Portland home and business owners depend on is what they are good at.

Pressure washing consists of water, usually not containing any chemicals, being forced onto a surface to mechanically remove contamination from that surface. This work can be done by a do it yourself type person. However, some of the best, complete, work must be accomplished by professionals trained in this skill. The danger of the underlying surface being damaged is the main reason for this outsourcing.

The techniques that are used can be more important than the type of machine employed. The cleaning that is accomplished is primarily a result of the pressure, however, the nozzle can be more important in many respects. Making sure that the surface is not damaged will have a lot to do with the selection of each element of a complete job.

The pressure washing machines are rated based on the pounds per square inch, or PSI. The lower rated machines are good for cleaning small areas and a great many things inside commercial buildings and plants. These are in the 50 to 125 PSI range. The highest range of machines, the ones with PSI in the 2500 to 6500 range are used for the dirtiest areas and some of the larger projects.

The range of machines from a rating of between 150 and 2000 PSI will be used for most of the normal cleaning that is done. The nozzle, at this point, is the most important consideration as they will make the difference between just getting something wet and getting it clean. The trained personnel will know the difference in the available wands attachments so the cleaning is accomplished without the damage.

The wand is the tool that is held onto and resembles a vacuum wand. This allows the easy pointing of the nozzle which is attached to the end of this tool. By using different nozzles, different effects and varying degrees of force can be directed at the dirt. They all have specific purposes and each technician has their own special one.

There are the nozzles that direct a very slim stream of water. There are also those that provide a fanned out spray. The first will help to clean very small items and the second will assist in cleaning wide areas, such as a sidewalk. The oscillating nozzle will provide the force in a circular motion that powers off most contamination, yet still has a wide spray to cover a large area.

Using any of the pressure washing services Portland has to offer will help you get a handle on the dirt that attracts itself to everything. The green nature of this type of cleaning is perfect for the city that prides itself on being a green example for the rest of the country. Hiring the right professional cleaning company to do this will keep your facility clean, inside and out and you will not have to get wet.
