power washes

Sprays grime away

Power washes means to clean using a high-pressure water spray, typically from a specialized machine that forces water through a narrow nozzle at considerable force.

The method removes dirt, grime, mold, and loose paint from hard surfaces like driveways, decks, and building exteriors: He power washes the patio every spring.

Also called pressure washing.
