Pressure Washing Oil & Grease

Have you ever washed dishes without hot water or soap? Nature's same rules apply when washing with a pressure washer.

This is something to consider if you're purchasing a machine and wan't to improve sanitation while cleaning and use less chemical to do so.

4. When doesn't hot water out perform cold?

Hotsy Pressure Washers Are Powerful!

Some surfaces that are pressure washed cannot hold up to high temperatures. Automotive paint for example should not be exposed to extremely hot temperatures when pressure washing.
