Pressure washing and power washing are very similar, but the key difference lies in the temperature of the water used. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants, while power washing uses heated water to clean surfaces. The added heat in power washing can be more effective for removing stubborn stains, oil, and grease, making it ideal for tough cleaning jobs.
