Pressure Washing Using Chemicals
When it comes to removing oil stains via professional pressure washing, the type of nozzle you use does make all the difference. For example, a 0-degree nozzle is great on solid objects, however, both the 15 and 25-degree nozzles are more suitable on delicate surfaces as the power of the pressurized water is spread more evenly.
When dealing with both grease and oil-based stains, you should consider using a hot water pressure washer or steam one. This is because the water temperature these units generate will greatly help to melt and raise oil from the surface it is stuck on, meaning it will be easier to remove. When you do not have either of these machines, you may have to use chemicals to remove these type of stains. Because a cold water pressure washer will not be able to remove any grease, oil, and oil-based stains alone, they will only end up hardening them, which makes them even more difficult to remove. A degreaser will be the best chemical for this kind of cleaning task.
When your pressure washing unit is unsuitable for a specific cleaning job, or you want to speed the process up, using pressure washer chemicals is the right way to go. But, before you use any chemicals, it is vital that you first identify the stain you want to remove in order to use the right kind of chemical. The truth is, it does require the right kind of chemical in order to safely and efficiently remove certain stains. Also, you need to make sure that the chemical and solution you use does not damage your pressure washer unit.

When choosing a chemical, you need to remember to only get chemicals and cleaning solutions which are approved for use in your pressure washer equipment. When a chemical or cleaning solution is not approved, they may not just cause serious damage to your unit, but have the potential to be harmful to the environment.
