Welcome to Tucson Local Pressure Washing, where grime doesn't stand a chance! If you're dealing with stubborn grease and soiling on your concrete surfaces, you've come to the right place. Here's how to blast away the gunk with the power of heated pressure washing:
Understanding the Beast
Grease and Soiling: These are not your average dirt. Grease, especially, loves to cling to concrete with a passion that rivals a clingy ex. But fear not, for heated pressure washing is your new best friend in this battle.
The Heated Pressure Washing Advantage
Heat: Heats up to 200°F or more, making grease less viscous and easier to remove.
Pressure: Up to 4000 PSI can dislodge even the most stubborn stains.
Detergents: Specialized cleaners can be added to the mix for an extra punch.
Step-by-Step Guide to Grease-Free Glory
Preparation:
Safety First: Wear protective gear. This isn't a spa day for your skin.
Cover Plants and Delicate Items: Unless you want to see what a pressure-washed cactus looks like.
Pre-Treatment:
Degreaser: Apply a commercial degreaser. Let it sit. This isn't a quickie; let it marinate the grease.
The Heated Pressure Washing Process:
Start Cool: Begin with cold water to remove loose debris. Think of it as the appetizer before the main course.
Heat It Up: Switch to hot water. The heat will start breaking down the grease.
Adjust Pressure: Start low to avoid etching the concrete, then increase as needed. You're not trying to send the concrete to Mars.
Detergent Injection: If the grease is particularly stubborn, use a detergent injector. This is where the magic happens.
Technique:
Angle: Keep the nozzle at a 45-degree angle. Too close, and you'll wear a concrete tattoo; too far, and you're just giving the grease a shower.
Motion: Use sweeping motions, not a stationary blast. You're painting with water, not carving with it.
Rinse:
Cold Rinse: Finish with a cold water rinse to remove any residue.
Post-Cleaning:
Inspection: Check for any remaining spots. If there are, you might need a second round or a different approach.
Sealing: Consider sealing the concrete to prevent future staining. It's like putting a raincoat on your concrete.
Tips for Tucson's Unique Climate
Dry Heat: Our sun can bake grease into concrete. Start early or late to avoid working in peak heat.
Dust: Tucson's dust can mix with grease, creating a concrete's worst nightmare. Use a pre-rinse to tackle this.
