Jet Washing vs Traditional Pressure Cleaning: What’s Best for Your Commercial Property?

When it comes to maintaining the appearance and hygiene of your commercial property, outdoor cleanliness matters just as much as what's inside. First impressions count—and grime, moss, oil stains or graffiti can instantly damage your reputation. That’s where pressure cleaning comes in.

But what’s the difference between jet washing and traditional pressure washing, and which is best for your site in Eastbourne, Fleet, Clevedon, or surrounding areas?

At Denma Cleaning Services, we specialise in commercial exterior cleaning and offer both pressure washing and jet washing services across Hastings, Haywards Heath, and Burgess Hill. Let’s explore what each method involves—and when to use them.

What Is Traditional Pressure Washing?

Pressure washing uses a high-pressure water spray (typically cold water) to remove surface-level dirt, algae, mud, and debris from outdoor surfaces such as driveways, walls, patios, and paths.

It’s often used for:

• Pavement and patio cleaning

• Exterior wall rinsing

• Removing loose paint or dust

• General surface maintenance

While it's effective for lighter jobs, traditional pressure washing may struggle with deep staining, oil spills, or areas that need sanitising.

What Is Jet Washing?

Jet washing is a more powerful version of pressure cleaning that uses heated water at high pressure. The combination of heat and force breaks down grease, chewing gum, moss, lichen, and oil far more effectively.

At Denma, we use professional-grade jet washing equipment on commercial properties across Clevedon, Fleet, and Haywards Heath for:

• Commercial forecourt and entrance cleaning

• Deep cleaning of brick, concrete, and tarmac

• Car park and loading bay sanitation

• Removal of stubborn graffiti or oil

• Moss and algae removal in high-footfall areas

Which Is Best for Your Business?

If you run a retail unit in Eastbourne, a workshop in Burgess Hill, or manage property exteriors in Hastings, the right choice depends on your cleaning needs:

• General upkeep? Traditional pressure washing may be sufficient.

• Heavily soiled areas? Jet washing is the better, longer-lasting option.

• High-traffic entrances or safety surfaces? Go for jet washing for deep sanitation and grip restoration.
