Extend the Life of a Paint Job with Power Washing

Electric washing (also called pressure washing) is defined as the use of a machine, rod, and water to spray high-pressure H2O and sometimes chemical surfaces to clean areas. This is an essential first step when preparing to paint or stain any part of the house. If no proper cleaning is done prior to painting, the new paint does not stick to the surface and the new paint usually spills into larger parts and/or smaller ones.

Overview of electric washing

Electric washing cleans and prepares surfaces that will be painted to remove dirt, mold, mildew, contaminants, pollen, and dust.

Electric washing also removes most of the chalking. Chalking is a natural barrier to the skin's surface from the ultraviolet rays of sunlight.

The use of the right pressure washing machine will ensure perfect preparation for exterior painting projects. The right amount will clean any surface, including wood, without any damage. Also, the use of the appropriate nozzle will maintain the appropriate angle and water velocity for each different surface. Experienced painting and electric washing contractors will be able to prevent stick marks (or surface itching), which can be caused by excessive pressure applied at the wrong angle.
