When To Choose A Hot Water Pressure Washer Over A Cold Water Pressure Washer

If you’re cleaning engines, automotive parts, or anything with oil or grease, you’ll need hot water. Like the dishes in your sink, hot water “melts” grease and grime; cold water only pushes it around.

On the other hand, if you’re simply blasting away sand, caked-on mud, or even stripping paint, a cold-water pressure washer will work just fine. Combined with detergent, a cold-water pressure washer can be very effective in many applications.

The rule of thumb is simple: Whatever cold water cleans, hot water will clean better and faster.
