pressure washers

High-force cleaning machines

Pressure washers are machines that spray water at high pressure to clean surfaces—driveways, decks, siding, vehicles.

They blast away dirt, grime, mold, and peeling paint that ordinary hoses can't remove.

I rented a pressure washer to clean the patio.

Also called power washers, though power washers technically use heated water.
