Eco-Friendly Pressure Washing: How Hot Stuff Pressure Washing Protects Your Home and the Environment

May 18, 2025

We know you care about the environment, so do we.

At Hot Stuff Pressure Washing, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between a sparkling clean property and a safe, eco-conscious process. Our commitment to environmentally responsible cleaning practices ensures your home stays beautiful—without putting your family, pets, or plants at risk.


The Power of Hot Water


We use an advanced hot water pressure washing system that heats water to 130°F, allowing us to cut through dirt, grime, and mold without relying on harsh chemicals. This method delivers a deep, effective clean—especially for driveway's(concrete surfaces), retaining walls, decks that are painted—while minimizing the risk of runoff that could harm your landscaping.


When Chemicals Are Necessary


While our standard methods focus on low-to-no chemical use, there are a few surfaces where chemicals are required for safe and effective cleaning:

  • Stamped concrete: The decorative sealants on stamped surfaces require chemical assistance to lift dirt without damaging the finish.
  • New concrete (under 5 years old): These surfaces are highly porous and prone to etching if too much pressure is applied. Using a diluted chemical solution ensures a thorough clean without causing irreversible damage.
  • Siding: Mildew on siding requires chemical assistance to lift of mold and mildew without using pressure(which could damage your siding)
  • Decks: If that the deck is being prepped for stain we will use our deck wash mix



Responsible Bleach Use


When bleach is needed, we take every precaution:

  • Pre-rinsing all surrounding areas like grass, plants, and patio furniture to prevent contact or absorption.
  • Using diluted bleach, never full-strength—this reduces environmental risk while maintaining cleaning power.
  • Never leaving bleach sitting on surfaces after a job. We thoroughly rinse all areas to protect your home and prevent residue buildup.


Safe, Biodegradable Detergents


For jobs that require a little more than water, we use biodegradable detergents that break down naturally over time. These are:

  • Safe for kids, pets, and plants
  • Effective at lifting grime and mold
  • Free from toxic residues or lingering smells

Minimizing Impact, Maximizing Results


Our approach is simple: use the least amount of chemicals possible while delivering top-tier results. By combining heat, biodegradable products, and smart technique, we help preserve your property and the planet.
