pressure washes

Sprays clean forcefully

Pressure washes means to clean a surface using a high-powered spray of water.

The force dislodges dirt, grime, mold, and debris from driveways, decks, siding, and vehicles: He pressure washes the patio every spring.

Also called power washing, though some distinguish between heated (power) and unheated (pressure) water.
