As professional cleaners with over 2 decades of experience, Master Cleaners has perfected the art of pressure washing. Today, we’re sharing our insider secrets to help you understand why professional pressure washing can dramatically transform your home’s exterior. These proven techniques have helped us deliver outstanding results for thousands of satisfied customers across Melbourne, Sydney, and Hobart.
1. The Pre-Treatment Secret
Most homeowners don’t realise that effective pressure washing begins before the machine is even turned on. At Master Cleaners, we start with a specialised pre-treatment solution that breaks down stubborn stains, mould, and mildew. This commercial-grade formula needs about 15 minutes to penetrate and loosen debris, making the actual cleaning process more effective while requiring less pressure – which means less risk of damage to your surfaces.
2. Temperature Matters More Than Pressure
While many focus solely on water pressure, we’ve discovered that water temperature plays a crucial role in cleaning effectiveness. Our hot water pressure washing systems maintain an optimal temperature of 82°C, which cuts through grease and grime more effectively than cold water, even at lower pressures. This approach not only cleans better but also sanitises surfaces, eliminating up to 99% of bacteria and algae.
3. The Multi-Nozzle Technique
Different surfaces require different approaches. We use a specific combination of nozzles for each cleaning task. For example, a 40-degree nozzle works best for delicate surfaces like windows and weatherboards, while a 15-degree nozzle is perfect for concrete and tough stains. This customised approach ensures maximum cleaning power without damaging your property’s surfaces.
4. The Two-Step Cleaning Process
Professional results require more than just one pass. We always perform a two-step cleaning process: first, we apply our cleaning solution and perform an initial wash to remove surface dirt. Then, we follow up with a second pass using a different nozzle angle to ensure deep cleaning and complete removal of any remaining residue. This method achieves superior results that last longer.
5. Seasonal Timing Strategy
Through years of experience, we’ve learned that timing is everything. Early spring and late autumn are ideal for exterior cleaning, as these seasons typically have optimal temperatures and humidity levels for effective cleaning and proper drying. Additionally, clearing debris before summer can prevent long-term damage from harsh UV exposure and seasonal storms.
6. Protection After Cleaning
One of our biggest professional secrets is what happens after the cleaning. We apply a specialised sealant to appropriate surfaces, which creates an invisible barrier against future dirt, mould, and mildew. This protective layer can extend the life of your cleaning by up to 4 times, saving you money in the long run.
7. Professional-Grade Equipment Makes a Difference
While rental machines typically output 1,300-2,000 PSI, our professional equipment can deliver up to 4,000 PSI when needed, with adjustable settings for different surfaces. More importantly, our machines feature precise pressure control and professional-grade pumps that maintain consistent pressure throughout the cleaning process – something consumer-grade equipment simply can’t match.
