Five Factors for Cleaning
- Water Quality
- High levels of water hardness & dissolved solids (TDS)
- Water quality must be accounted for when washing and blending detergents
- Soap Pressure
- Applying detergents at higher pressure will improve brushless cleaning and increase efficiency
- Temperature
- Water temperature and atmospheric temperature will affect detergent performance
- For every 18 degrees in temperature rise, molecules move twice as fast
- Detergent Concentration
- Relative strength of detergent blend used AND the dilution rate of application method
- Dwell Time
- Too much means soaps could dry or cause harsh reaction; too little means not enough reaction

What We Will Test
- Check heat and pressure of your pressure washer
- Testing of water hardness with a TDS meter
- Testing pH level of your detergent
- Test the concentration level of your existing detergent with a refractometer
- Test the concentration level of detergent at the end of your gun & wand
